particle physics - Can the mass of longitudinal and transverse W bosons be measured separately?


Some higgsless unified models of particle physics predict that the mass of longitudinally polarized W bosons and the mass of transversely polarized W bosons are different.


In those models, a difference in masses is also predicted to appear for the Z boson.


Is there a way that the existing data from the LHC, the LEP or the Tevatron can be used to check this prediction? Or maybe it has already been checked?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
