Photoproduction of massive gauge bosons in pp, pPb and PbPb collisions

In this letter we present, for the first time, the results for the photoproduction of massive gauge bosons in proton – proton, proton – Lead and Lead – Lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), High – Energy LHC (HE – LHC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC). Predictions for the rapidity di...

description In this letter we present, for the first time, the results for the photoproduction of massive gauge bosons in proton – proton, proton – Lead and Lead – Lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), High – Energy LHC (HE – LHC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC). Predictions for the rapidity distributions and total cross sections are presented. We predict a large number of events in the rapidity range probed by the LHC detectors, which implies that this process can be used to probe the photoproduction of massive gauge bosons as well to perform the search of Beyond Standard Model physics.
