RESEARCH PRODUCT

Single W-boson production in e-\gamma colliders

subject

description

Single $W$-boson production in $e^-\gamma$ collisions with polarized beams is investigated. In the framework of the Standard Model the updated estimates for the measurement precision of photon anomalous coupling parameters $ \kappa_{ \gamma},$ $ \lambda_{ \gamma}$ at the Next Linear Collider with $ \sqrt{s_{ e\gamma }}=420$ GeV are obtained. The production of right-handed gauge bosons $ W^-_{ 2 }$ in this collision mode is also analysed. If the associated neutrino is light, the channel would give the best discovery reach for $ W^-_{ 2 }$ in the Next Linear Collider.
