Looking at the photoproduction of massive gauge bosons at the LHeC

Abstract

In this contribution we report on the investigation of the photoproduction of W and Z bosons in the planned electron-proton/nucleus collider, the LHeC. The production cross sections and the number of events are provided and theoretical uncertainties are discussed. We also analyze the sensitivity of the LHeC experiment to physics beyond Standard Model by studying the role played by anomalous WWgamma coupling in the presented process.
