Description

We present a search for WW plus WZ production in the lepton plus missing transverse energy plus two jets channel at CDF. A matrix element technique is employed to separate the signal from the large W plus jets background. The WW plus WZ production cross section is measured and compared against the standard model NLO prediction.
