| Abstract |
We report on a search for the process ppbar -> &gamma+W/Z with W/Z to qqbar in
events containing two jets and a photon at the center-of-mass energy
sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, using 184 pb-1 of data collected by the
CDF II detector.
A neural network event selection has been developed to optimize the rejection
of the large QCD production background; it is shown that this method gives a
significant improvement in both signal-to-noise ratio and signal sensitivity,
as compared with an event selection on conventional cuts.
An upper limit is presented for the &gamma+W/Z production cross section with
the W and Z decaying hadronically.
