Özet

We investigate the Lorentz-violating effects of Standard Model Extension (SME) in single W boson production process pp -> p gamma p -> pW(-) q' X at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We employ the Weizsacker-Williams approximation for photons emitted from one of the incoming proton beams and consider gamma q -> W(-)q' as a sub-process in the proton-proton collision. The behavior of the differential cross-section for various orientations of the constant background fields is obtained by taking into account longitudinal and transverse polarization states of the final W bosons.
