摘要
We discuss the production of pairs of weak bosons in those processes where electrons or quarks annihilate. Besides comparing and extending previous calculations for e+e-→W+W-, we consider e+e-→Z0Z0, pp and pp̄→W+W-X or Z0Z0X. It is emphasized that (1) the rate of production of Z0 pairs is comparable to that of W pairs and that (2) W-pair production with colliding proton beams may be the best way to see high-energy cancellations in cross sections, the hallmark of renormalizability in gauge theories. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
