We report on studies of Bose-Einstein correlations and color reconnection in hadronic W pair production at LEP. Bose-Einstein correlations between identical particles from the decay of different W's are studied by comparing the particle…
A summary of the W-boson properties measured by the four LEP collaborations is presented here. These properties are updated to take into account the most recent results presented at the ICHEP98 conference.
Bose-Einstein symmetrization can lead to correlations between out going identical particles which reflect the space-time extent of the collision process. At LEP and LEPII these correlations have been studied as a function of a single…
Color reconnection and Bose-Einstein correlations not only can have an influence on the measurement of the W-mass in the fully hadronic W+W- decay channel at LEP2, but also can give essential information on the structure of the QCD vacuum…
We investigate Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) in W-pair production at root(s)=189GeV using the L3 detector at LEP. We observe BEC between particles from a single W decay in good agreement with those from a light-quark Z decay sample. We…

We discuss algorithms which allow to calculate identical two-particle correlations from numerical simulations of relativistic heavy ion collisions. A toy model is used to illustrate their properties.
Two measurements are presented of estimators sensitive to the Colour Reconnection effect in WW events at LEP2. The results are compared with various phenomenological Monte Carlo implementations of the effect. A feasibility study is…
We review the precision measurement of the mass of the W-boson at LEP. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments to determine the mass of the W-boson as well as the major sources of systematic uncertainty. The measurement…
We argue that strong final state rescattering among the secondary particles created in relativistic heavy ion collisions is essential to understand the measured Bose-Einstein correlations. The recently suggested ``random walk models'' which…
We are presenting here the new formulae for Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) which contain effects of final state interactions (FSI) of both strong (in $s$-wave) and electromagnetic origin. We demonstrate the importance of FSI in BEC by…
In five years of operation (1996-2000) the four LEP2 experiments collected roughly 3 fb-1 of data from e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 161 and 207 GeV, yielding a total of about 40000 W-pair events. The analysis of the…
