Compton mechanism of W and Z boson hadroproduction

  • 1. NSC ''Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology'', Kharkiv (Ukraine)

Description

It is argued that W/Z boson production in ultra-relativistic pp collisions in the fragmentation region, subject to a kinematic cut on the boson transverse momentum Q > Qmin, with 1 GeV/c << Qmin, << MW/Z, must be dominated by the Compton mechanism qg - > q'W/Z. We propose applications for boson hadroproduction in this kinematics, formulate the factorization theorem, and analyze the QCD enhancements.
