Abstract
Using the recently proposed ALPHA algorithm (and the resulting code) I compute the rate (at tree level) for the process . The bulk of the contribution is due to W pair production and decay. However a non negligible () contribution comes from other channels, mainly the production and decay of a W and a collinear charged fermion. Requiring that the reconstructed invariant mass lies in the intervals GeV and GeV one obtains a rate which is lower, by 25 \% and 4 \% respectively, than the rate obtained in the approximation, thus demonstrating the relevance of the finite W width.
