Abstract

We present here the theoretical total cross sections for W-boson production in the reactions ν+Z→Z+W+μ and μ+Z→Z+W+ν for a variety of Z. The emphasis is on the energies and corresponding W-boson masses pertinent to the National Accelerator Laboratory. The effects of the W's anomalous magnetic moment, the nucleon Fermi motion, the Pauli exclusion principle, inelastic channels (in particular, deep-inelastic ones), and the problem of incoherent versus coherent production are all discussed. We also give a critique of some recent high-energy compilations.
