Off shell W pair production in e+ e- annihilation: The CC11 process

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

The various four-fermion production channels in e+ee^+ e^- annihilation are discussed and the {\tt CC11} process e+efˉ1uf1df2ufˉ2de^+ e^- \rightarrow {\bar f}_1^u f_1^d f^u_2 {\bar f}_2^d, {\mbox{ff\neqee}}, is studied in detail. The cross section d2σ/ds1ds2d^2\sigma/ds_1ds_2, with s1,s2s_1,s_2 being the invariant masses squared of the two fermion pairs, may be expressed by six generic functions. All but one may be found in the literature. The cross section, including initial state radiation and the Coulomb correction, is discussed and compared with other calculations from low energies up to s\sqrt{s} = 2 ~TeV.
