W boson production at upgraded HERA

TL;DR

This paper analyzes W boson production at the upgraded HERA collider, examining event characteristics and distributions to understand production mechanisms within the Standard Model and its extensions with anomalous couplings.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of W boson production mechanisms and event distributions, including effects of anomalous gauge couplings at HERA.

Findings

Event distributions are sensitive to production mechanisms.

Anomalous couplings significantly affect the final state distributions.

The analysis helps distinguish Standard Model from extended models.

Abstract

Event characteristics of $W$ boson production at HERA collider are untrivial and sensitive to the production mechanisms. We analyse the distributions of the four particle final state defined by the complete set of $W$ producing perturbative leading order diagrams in the Standard Model and its extension with the anomalous effective lagrangian in the gauge sector.
