W and Z bosons


I read on http://cern-discoveries.web.cern.ch/...eavylight.html that to find the W and Z bosons they used beams with 270 GeV of energy per beam. But the W and Z bosons have a mass of about 80/90 GeV, how come so high-energy beams was needed?

Are these bosons the only products of the collisions between particles in the beams?
