Colour Reconnection at LEP2

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

Colour reconnection is the final state interaction between quarks from different sources. It is not yet fully understood and is a source of systematic error for W-boson mass and width measurements in hadronic \WW decays at LEP2. The methods of measuring this effect and the results of the 4 LEP experiments at 183\gev\rts202\gev183\gev\leq\rts\leq 202\gev will be presented.
