$W^{\pm}$ bosons production in the quantum statistical parton distributions approach

Abstract

We consider $W^{\pm}$ gauge bosons production in connection with recent results from BNL-RHIC and FNAL-Tevatron and interesting predictions from the statistical parton distributions. They concern relevant aspects of the structure of the nucleon sea and the high-$x$ region of the valence quark distributions. We also give predictions in view of future proton-neutron collisions experiments at BNL-RHIC.
