Abstract

We report a measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry of electrons from

W

boson decays in

p \bar{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

using a data sample of

170 {pb}^{- 1}

collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The asymmetry is measured as a function of electron rapidity and transverse energy and provides new input on the momentum fraction dependence of the

u

and

d

quark parton distribution functions within the proton.
