Summary
A careful examination of the p+p → d+W+ process is done in a covariant theory. The influence of different effects is studied in detail. The total production cross-section, if the W+ meson exists, is of the order of 10−35 cm2.
Riassunto
Si fa un attento esame del processo p+p → d+W+ in una teoria covariante. Si studia dettagliatamente l’influenza di vari effetti. Se il mesone W+ esiste, la sezione d’urto di produzione totale è dell’ordine di 10−35 cm2.
