Production ofWbosons in proton-nucleus collisions

1979

It is shown that nuclear effects can cause an enhancement in the cross section for production of $W$ bosons in a proton-nucleus collision. The cross section near threshold is a few orders of magnitude higher than expected from a linear dependence on the atomic number. Encouraging implications for experiments with fixed targets at laboratory energies of ${10}^{3}$ GeV and higher are discussed. We also discuss lepton-pair production off nuclei.

Reconciling high-transverse-momentum dimuon production with quantum chromodynamics

1979

It is shown that by taking into account nuclear effects in a phenomenological model-independent way, the recent Fermilab data for of muon pairs may be reduced to values compatible with quantum-chromodynamics predictions. The sensitivity of this reduction to uncertainties in the assumed nuclear dependence are discussed.
