Standard Model Predictions for Weak Boson Pair Production in E-E- Scattering
Abstract
We study polarized e-e- scattering into , and final states within the framework of the standard model of electroweak interactions. These mechanisms for producing pairs of weak gauge bosons are potential backgrounds to new reactions beyond the realm of the standard model. At a centre-of-mass energy of 500 GeV the total cross sections are calculated to be 2.5, 9.4 and 1.0 fb, respectively, for unpolarized beams. The energy behaviour of the cross sections as well as particularly interesting differential distributions are presented and the topology of the final states is discussed.
