Received 3 March 1998; published in the issue dated 22 June 1998
The shape of the transverse momentum distribution of W bosons ( pTW) produced in pp̅ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV is measured with the D0 detector at Fermilab. The result is compared with QCD perturbative and resummation calculations over the pTW range from 0 to 200GeV/c. The shape of the distribution is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
