Photoproduction of W bosons as a test of the standard model

Mark A. Samuel, C. S. Kalman, M. Frank, C. Hamzaoui, Guowen Li

Abstract

The photoproduction of W bosons is proposed as a means of testing the standard model. In particular, the radiation amplitude zero, which may occur in this process, provides a sensitive measure of the magnetic moment of the W bosons. Such experiments, using colliding beams, are feasible with present-day accelerators.
