Search for production of an $\Upsilon$(1S) meson in association with a W or Z boson using the full 1.96 TeV $p\bar{p}$ collision data set at CDF

Abstract

Production of the Upsilon(1S)meson in association with a vector boson is a rare process in the standard model with a cross section predicted to be below the sensitivity of the Tevatron. Observation of this process could signify contributions not described by the standard model or reveal limitations with the current nonrelativistic quantum-chromodynamic models used to calculate the cross section.
