Single production of the gauge boson $W$ via polarized $e^{-}γ$ collisions in the littlest Higgs model

Abstract

In the framework of the littlest Higgs($LH$) model, we study single production of the standard model($SM$) gauge boson $W_{s}^{-}$ and the heavy gauge boson $W_{H}^{-}$ via polarized $e^{-}γ$ collisions. We find that the corrections of the $LH$ model to the cross section $σ(W_{s}^{-})$ might be observed only for the scale parameter $f\leq 1.5TeV$ and the mixing parameter $c'\geq 0.4$ in future high energy linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider($LC$) experiment with the center-of-mass($CM$) energy $\sqrt{S}=500GeV$ and a yearly integrated luminosity $£=100fb^{-1}$. However, with a suitably chosen polarization of the initial electron and position beams, the possible signals of the heavy gauge boson $W_{H}^{-}$ can be easily detected via $e^{-}γ$ collisions in future $LC$ experiment with $\sqrt{S}=3TeV$ and $£=500fb^{-1}$.
