Abstract

We point out that the rare decay mode W → γ+ Ds could be spectacularly enhanced, with a branching ratio around 10-6 which is three order of magnitude larger than previous predictions. Its observation will determine the W boson mass with great accuracy, providing additional high precision tests of the standard model, as well as reveal eventual deviation from the trilinear non-abelian gauge coupling.
