Book excerpt: We report on the first measurement of the angular distributions of final state electrons in p{bar p} → [gamma]*/Z → e+e− + X events produced in the Z boson mass region at √s = 1.96 TeV. The data sample collected by the CDF II detector for this result corresponds to 2.1 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The angular distributions are studied as a function of the transverse momentum of the electron-positron pair and show good agreement with the Lam-Tung relation, consistent with a spin-1 description of the gluon, and demonstrate that at high values of the transverse momentum, Z bosons are produced via quark anti-quark annihilation and quark-gluon Compton processes.
