Z Boson Transverse Momentum Distribution, and ZZ and WZ Production

This work develops novel data analysis techniques enabling aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics to be tested with unprecedented precision using data from the DZero experiment at the high energy “Tevatron” proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab, Chicago. Vesterinen''s measurements of the transverse momentum of Z bosons using the novel variable φ* have exposed deficiencies in the curren...
