Abstract

Absorption of high-energy νˉe\bar{\nu}_e over electrons above the W boson production threshold is reexamined. It is pointed out that, in the case of photon emissions along the direction of incident high-energy νˉe\bar{\nu}_e, the kinematically allowed average energy carried by the final state hard photon can be 1\leq 1% of the incident νˉe\bar{\nu}_e energy above the W boson production threshold. The differential energy spectrum for the final state hard photon is calculated. We also discuss implications of our results for the prospective search of high-energy νˉe\bar{\nu}_e through this final state hard photon.
