Production of electroweak bosons in e+e- annihilation at high energies -: art. no. 114018

Production of electroweak bosons in e(+)e(-) annihilation into quarks and into leptons at energies much greater than 100 GeV is considered. We account for double-logarithmic contributions to all orders in electroweak couplings. It is assumed that the bosons are emitted in multi-Regge kinematics. Explicit expressions for the scattering amplitudes of the process are obtained. It is shown that the cross sections of the photon and Z production have the identical energy dependence and asymptotically their ratio depends only on the Weinberg angle, whereas the energy dependence of the cross section of W production is suppressed by a factor of s(-0.4) compared to them.
