Ratio in W - boson Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent analysis of proton and deuteron deep-inelastic scattering data have suggested that the extracted d/u quark distribution ratio at large x may be significantly larger than previously believed, if the data are corrected for nuclear binding effects in the deuteron. We examine the sensitivity to the large-x d/u ratio of lepton asymmetries from W-boson production in pp and pp collisions at large rapidity, which do not suffer from nuclear contamination.

The existence of a new massive charged gauge boson, known as W’, is proposed by many new physics scenarios. When W’ decays to tb, the final state is very similar to the final state of the s-channel single top production, where W boson is the off-shell mediator to produce the top and bottom quarks. If W’ exists, it can affect the cross section of the SM s-channel single top production, so measur...
متن کاملElectroweak Radiative Corrections to W Boson Production in Hadronic
The O(α) electroweak radiative corrections to the process p p (ℓ = e, µ) are calculated. The O(α) corrections can be decomposed into separately gauge invariant contributions to the W boson production and decay processes. Factorizing the collinear singularity associated with initial state photon radiation into the parton distribution functions, we find that initial state corrections have a signi...

Recently it was shown that the d/u quark distribution ratio extracted from deep-inelastic proton and deuterium data at large x may be significantly larger than previously believed, if the data are corrected for nuclear binding effects in the deuteron. We suggest that measurement of W-boson asymmetries in pp and pp collisions at large rapidity can determine this ratio free of any ambiguities ass...

We calculate the cross section of Higgs boson production in the reaction e + e − → ν ¯ νb ¯ b for the case of left and right longitudinally polarized electron beam. Complete set of signal and irreducible background diagrams is considered. We propose a new critical test to identify the Higgs boson provided by the ratio of cross sections with left and right beam polarization. This quantity is sen...
