Measurement of the Shape of the Transverse Momentum Distribution ofWBosons Produced inpp¯Collisions at√s=1.8TeV

The shape of the transverse momentum distribution of $W$ bosons ( $p_T^W$) produced in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8\mathrm{}$ TeV is measured with the D0 detector at Fermilab. The result is compared with QCD perturbative and resummation calculations over the $p_T^W$ range from 0 to $200\mathrm{GeV}/c$. The shape of the distribution is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
