QCD PERTURBATIVE PREDICTIONS FOR THE SIGNAL OF W+1-PRODUCTION IN HADRONIC COLLISIONS

Evidence for the intermediate bosons in high energy pp and p̄p collisions as signal in the cross section of large pT charged lepton pp, pp→W±+X, W±→Υ{hooked}±νΥ{hooked} is considered for CM energy range s=100-800GeV. Besides the usual Drell-Yan term which gives a very sharp peak in the lepton pT distribution, the first order QCD contribution is included thus producing the intermediate boson with transverse momentum and smearing the lepton distribution. Scaling violation of the structure functions is incorporated and compared with the case when it is absent. © 1979.
