Anticipating the intermediate boson

The cross sections for the production of W+- and W0 in the high energy pp and anti-pp collisions and distributions of their decay products are calculated. The W productions are abundant sigmasub(W) approximately 10-33 cm2) for s/msub(W)sup(2)>10. The distributions of leptons from the W decay have pronounced peak structures. Such structures stand well above background and do not get smeared away by the transverse motion of the W, estimated from a reasonable extrapolation of the present knowledge. Thus, they provide a clear signature for the W. Due to the well understood maximal-parity-violation effect in weak interactions mediated by W+-, the Drell-Yan model predicts that the W+- will be produced polarized and their leptonic decay products will have very interesting characteristics. It is foreseeable that the still uncertain parity-violation property of the W0 can be determined in such experiments. The detectability of the hadronic jets from the W's depends crucially on the background from strong interactions
