An analysis on the photoproduction of massive gauge bosons at the LHeC

Abstract

In this work we investigate the photoproduction of massive gauge bosons, $W^{\pm }$ and $Z^0$, as part of relevant physics topics to be studied in the proposed electron-proton collider, the LHeC. The estimates for production cross sections and the number of events are presented. In addition, motivated by the intensive studies to test the deviations from the Standard Model at present and future colliders, we discuss the $W^{\pm }$ asymmetries and perform an analysis on the role played by anomalous $WW\gamma$ coupling.
