APPENDIX A Producing Massive Neutral Intermediate Vector Bosons with Existing Accelerators(*) C. Rubbia and P. McIntyre Department of Physics Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 and D. Cline Department of Physics University of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Abstract We outline a scheme of searching for the massive 2 weak boson (M = 50 - 200 Gev/c ). An antiproton source is added either to the Fermilab or the CERN SPS machines to transform a conventional 400 GeV accelerator into a pp colliding beam facility with 800 GeV in the center of mass (E = 320,000 GeV). Reliable estimates of pro- eq duction cross sections along with a high luminosity make the scheme feasible. Submitted to Physical Review Letters March 1976 175 The past ten years have seen remarkable progress in the under- standing of weak interactions. First there is the experimental dis- covery of 6S = 0 weak neutral currents,l which when contrasted with 2 the previous limits on ~S = 1 neutral current decay processes leads to the suggestion of additional hadronic quantum numbers in 3 nature. Strong evidence now exists for new hadronic quantum numbers t
