Abstract
We present a measurement of the -boson-pair production cross section in collisions at 1.96 TeV center-of-mass energy and the first measurement of the differential cross section as a function of jet multiplicity and leading-jet energy. The cross section is measured in the final state comprising two charged leptons and neutrinos, where either charged lepton can be an electron or a muon. Using data collected by the CDF experiment corresponding to of integrated luminosity, a total of 3027 collision events consistent with production are observed with an estimated background contribution of events. The measured total cross section is , consistent with the standard model prediction.
