Cosmic neutrino and the possibility of searching for W bosons with masses 30-100 GeV in underwater experiments
Berezinskii V.S., Gazizov A.Z.
The possibility is discussed for searching for W bosons in underwater experiments with the aid of the resonant reaction ve-\~e ~—W ~—*hadrons. The resonance production of W bosons manifests itself as a narrow peak in the energy spectrum of the underwater nuclear-electromagnetic cascades. For W-boson masses 30-100 GeV (resonant antineutrino energies 9x 1014—1 χ 1016 eV) the resonant effect should exceed by more than one order of magnitude the background due to the nonresonant neutrino events.
