Left-right symmetric models (LRSM) were proposed to reconcile the apparent parity violation in weak interactions with our intrinsic notion of fundamental parity symmetry. It was quickly realized that LRSM offers a viable framework for…
In the Standard Model the process $q\bar{q}\rightarrow q\bar{q}V$ (where $V=W^\pm,Z^0$ or $\gamma$) can occur via gluon exchange and also via $W^\pm$ or $Z^0$ exchange. The corresponding chromodynamic and electroweak amplitudes can…
