The Noncommutative Standard Model and Polarization in Charged Gauge Boson Production at the LHC

Understand

We study the pair production of charged gauge bosons at the LHC in a noncommutative extension of the standard model.

• We use angular distributions in the decays of the gauge bosons to partially reconstruct polarized cross sections.
• We use this, together with CP considerations, to construct more sensitive observables that allow to separate space-time from space-space noncommutativities.
