The CDF and D0 collaborations have used recent data taken at the Tevatron to perform QCD tests with W and Z bosons decaying leptonically. D0 measures the production cross section times branching ratio for W and Z bosons and determines the branching ratio B(W[yields] l[nu])= (10.43[+-] 0.44)% (l= e, [mu]). This also gives an indirect measurement of the total width of the W boson:[Gamma][sub W]= 2.16[+-] 0.09 GeV. The W cross section times branching ratio into tau leptons is measured to be[sigma]([anti p]p[yields] W+ X)B(W[yields][tau][nu])= 2.38[+-]0.13 nb, from which the ratio of the coupling constants is determined: g[sub[tau]][sup W]/g[sub e][sup W]= 1.004[+-] 0.019[+-] 0.026. D0's measurement of the differential d[sigma]/dP[sub T] distribution for the Z boson decaying to electrons, discriminates between different phenomenologic vector boson production models. CDF measures the cross section for the Drell-Yan continuum, and extracts improved limits on compositeness scales for quarks and leptons of[Lambda][sub ql][approximately] 3 - 6 TeV, depending on the model. Studies of W+ Jet production at CDF and D0 find that the QCD prediction underestimates the production rate of W+ 1 Jet events by about a factor of 2 as measured by both collaborations.

The authors present some precision measurements on electroweak physics performed at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab. Namely they report on the boson-pair production cross sections and on triple gauge boson couplings using proton anti-proton collisions collected by the CDF and D0 experiments at the center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of up to 324 pb{sup -1}.

Direct measurements of the trilinear gauge boson couplings by the CDF and D0 collaborations at Fermilab are reviewed. Limits on the anomalous couplings were obtained at a 95% CL from four diboson production processes: W[gamma] production with the subsequent W boson decay to e[nu] or[mu][nu], WW production with both the W boson decaying to e[nu] or[mu][nu], WW/WZ production with one of the gauge bosons decaying leptonically and the other gauge boson decaying to two jets, and Z[gamma] production with the subsequent Z boson decay to ee, [mu][mu], or[nu][nu]. Limits were also obtained by a combined fit to W[gamma], WW[yields]dileptons and WW/WZ semileptonic data samples.

Results from the CDF and D{O} experiments are presented on properties of the W" and Z° gauge bosons using final states containing electrons and muons based on large integrated luminosities. In particular, measurements of the W" and Z° production cross sections, the W-charge asymmetry and the CDF measurement of the W-mass are summarized. Gauge boson self interactions axe measured by studying di-gauge boson production and limits on anomalous gauge boson couplings axe discussed.

The discovery reach of the Tevatron in the 1990's for new gauge bosons which originate in a wide range of extensions to the Standard Model is obtained. Most searches make use of the conventional leptonic decay mode of the Z(prime), whereas others require the observation of a dijet mass peak above the QCD background from hadronic decays. 10 refs., 3 figs.

A summary is presented of recent measurements of di-boson production at the Tevatron. The results from the CDF and D0 experiments are based upon 130-320 pb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV. The W{gamma}, Z{gamma}, WW, and WZ production properties are compared to Standard Model predictions, and limits extracted for anomalous triple gauge couplings.
