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?
