Abstract:
Deep inelastic charged--current reactions have been studied in and collisions at a center of mass energy of about 300\,\gev in the kinematic region Q~2\greater200\,\gev~2 and x\greater0.006 using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The integrated cross sections for Q~2\greater200\,\gev~2 are found to be \sigep=30.3\,{}~{+5.5}_{\mns4.2}\,{}~{+1.6}_{\mns2.6}\,{\rm pb} and \sigem=54.7\,{}~{+15.9}_{\mns\chax 9.8}\,{}~{+2.8}_{\mns3.4}\,{\rm pb}. Differential cross sections have been measured as functions of the variables , and . From the measured differential cross sections , the boson mass is determined to be M_W=79\,{}~{+8} _{-7}{}~{+4}_{-4}\,\gev. Measured jet rates and transverse energy profiles agree with model predictions. A search for charged--current interactions with a large rapidity gap yielded one candidate event, corresponding to a cross section of \sigep(Q~2\greater200\,\gev~2;\eta_{\rm max}<2.5)=0.8\,{}_{-0.7}~ {+1.8}\,\pm0.1\,{\rm pb}.Note:
