Four-fermion production near the W-pair production threshold

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-04-14 v1

Abstract

I report on recent results for the total production cross section of the process e- e+ -> mu- nubar_mu u dbar X near the W-pair production threshold up to next-to-leading order in GammaW/MW alpha v^2 obtained in the framework of unstable-particle effective field theory. Remaining theoretical uncertainties and their impact on the experimental determination of the W mass are discussed.
