A leading valence-level process is , with the up quark supplied by the proton and the down antiquark by the antiproton. The same Feynman diagram works with replaced by . Both vertices are weak charged current vertices; the production scattering amplitude contains the CKM matrix element or its conjugate according to the chosen fermion-flow convention. The intermediate W boson is produced near its mass shell.
