Measurement of the $WW$ Cross Section at the Tevatron

ORAL

Abstract

We present a measurement of $W^+W^-$ production at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$~TeV using $\approx$800 pb$^{-1}$ of data accumulated with the CDF~II detector. We select events where both $W$ bosons decay to a charged lepton and neutrino. The measured cross section is compared to a next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation.
