Description
We present a measurement of the shape of the Z boson rapidity for $Z/\gamma^{*} \to\mu^+\mu^- $ produced in $ p\bar p$ collision at $\sqrt s=$1.96 TeV. We use 8.6 fb$^{-1}$ of $ p\bar p$ data collected by the D0 detector at the Tevatron collider. The results are compared to NNLO QCD predictions using different sets of Parton Density Functions. We also present a measurement of the shape of the transverse momentum distribution for W boson in the $W \to e\nu$ decay channel using 4.2 fb$^{-1}$ of $ p\bar p$ data at $\sqrt s=$1.96 TeV.
