Abstract :We investigate the Lorentz-violating effects of Standard Model Extension insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SME); in single W boson production process pp → pγp → p W- q` X at the Large Hadron Collider insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LHC);. We employ the Weizsacker-Williams approximation for photons emitted from one of the incoming proton beams and consider γq → W- q` as a subprocess in the proton-proton collision. The behavior of the differential cross-section for various orientations of the constant background fields is obtained by taking into account longitudinal and transverse polarization states of the final W bosons.
