Towards pair production near threshold with unstable particle effective theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We illustrate the use of effective theory techniques to describe processes involving unstable particles close to resonance. First, we present the main ideas in the context of a scalar resonance in an Abelian gauge-Yukawa model. We then outline the necessary modifications to describe W-pair production close to threshold in electron-positron collisions.
