The authors describe a measurement of the charge asymmetry of electrons from W{sup {+-}} boson decays using p{bar p} {yields} W {yields} e{nu} events. They also present a measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry of electron-positron pairs resulting from the process p{bar p} {yields} Z{sup 0}/{gamma}* {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -}, from which they extract the Z{sup 0}-quark and Z{sup 0}-electron coupling constants and measure the sensitivity of the CDF experiment to these couplings. These analyses use integrated luminosities of 170 pb{sup -1} and 72 pb{sup -1}, respectively, of data collected by the CDF Run II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron.

An overview of W and Z production in high energy hadron collisions is given. W and Z cross section and asymmetry measurements from CDF and D0 are described, with particular emphasis on recent results. The current status of precision W mass and width measurements is reported. The fundamental physics parameters that can be extracted from these measurements are described, and the relevance of W and Z production studies for the LHC is pointed out.

We present measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry (A_fb) in dilepton pair decays of Z bosons produced in ppbar collisions using the full Tevatron dataset. The CDF experiment extracts a value for the effective weak mixing angle parameter sin^{2}\theta^{l}_{eff} of 0.2315 +/- 0.0010 from the A_fb distribution of dimuon events in 9.2 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. From dielectron events in 9.7 fb^{-1} of data, the D0 experiment finds sin^{2}\theta^{l}_{eff} = 0.23106 +/- 0.00053, the world's most precise measurement of sin^{2}\theta^{l}_{eff} from hadron colliders and with light quark couplings.

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. This also gives an indirect measurement of the total width of the W boson: [Lambda][sub W] = 2.126 [+-] 0.092 GeV. CDF reports on a direct measurement of [Lambda][sub W] = 2.19 [+-] 0.19 GeV, in good agreement with the indirect determination and Standard Model predictions. D0's measurement of the differential d[sigma]/dp[sub T] distribution for W and Z bosons decaying to electrons agrees with the combined QCD perturbative and resummation calculations. In addition, the d[sigma]/dp[sub T] distribution for the Z boson discriminates between different vector boson production models. Studies of W + Jet production at CDF find the NLO QCD prediction for the production rate of W + [ge] 1 Jet events to be in good agreement with the data.

We present recent results on measurements of the transverse momentum distribution of W and Z bosons, the angular distribution of electrons from W decays, and on color coherence effects in W+jets events from p{bar p} collisions at (square root)s = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The data are compared to perturbative QCD calculations.

In this report, we summarize the latest results of the top-quark pair production asymmetry and present the new result of bottom-quark pair production asymmetry. By looking at the results obtained by the CDF experiment, one can see a discrepancy in both $t\bar{t}$ inclusive and lepton-based measurements. The D0 results of the $t\bar{t}$ production asymmetry are compatible with the standard-model predictions as well as with the CDF results. The CDF measurement of $b\bar{b}$ production asymmetry presents consistency with both zero and with the standard-model predictions.

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.
