Additional information
I pioneered the use of forward electrons and defined the way they are used at CDF and in this analysis. The use of forward electrons makes the measurement of the charge asymmetry in W boson production uniquely sensitive to the proton structure, resulting in its major contribution to global parton density fits, which are essential for all hadron collider physics at the Tevatron and LHC. I led the W/Z working group in which the analysis was performed.
