The measurement is carried out in a data sample corresponding to up to 4.6 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity at root s = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector. Matrix element calculations are used to separate the diboson signal from the large backgrounds. The WW + WZ cross section is measured to be 17.4 +/- 3.3 pb in agreement with standard model predictions. A fit to the dijet invariant mass spectrum yields a compatible cross section measurement.", optnote="ISI:000286565600004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=514), last updated on Mon, 14 Mar 2011 23:51:53 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.82.112001", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1008.4404", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.82.112001", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1008.4404", language="English" }
