Abstract

We present results of a search for W⁺W⁻ production through the leptonic decay channel W⁺W⁻ → l⁺l⁻ in vv^⊯ in p^⊯p collisions at √s = 1.8TeV. In a 108pb⁻¹ data sample recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab, five W⁺W⁻ candidates are found with an expected standard model background of 1.2±0.3events. The W⁺W⁻ production cross section is measured to beσ(p^⊯p → W⁺W⁻)=10.2_−5.1^+6.3(stat)±1.6(syst)pb, in agreement with the standard model prediction. Limits on WWγand WWZ anomalous couplings are presented.
