We review here the measurements of W-pair production and W decay rates performed by the four LEP experiments at ECM from 161 to 209 GeV, and their relevance in support of the standard electroweak model.
We apply a generalized spin-basis analysis to associated Higgs production and gauge boson pair production at LEP. This framework allows us to identify a choice of spin axes for the processes e+ e- --> ZH,ZZ which leads to strikingly…
In this letter we present results for next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to doubly polarised W$^+$W$^-$ production at the LHC in the fully leptonic decay channel. We model the production and the decay of two polarised W bosons in…
Recent tests of the electroweak Standard Model are reviewed, covering the precise measurements of Z decays at LEP I and SLC and measurements of fermion pair production at higher energies at LEP II. Special emphasis is given to new results…
Data collected at LEP at centre-of-mass energies \sqrt(s) = 189 - 209 GeV are used to study correlations of the spin of W bosons using e+e- -> W+W- -> lnqq~ events. Spin correlations are favoured by data, and found to agree with the…
The three different helicity states of W bosons produced in the reaction e+ e- -> W+ W- -> l nu q q~ at LEP are studied using leptonic and hadronic W decays. Data at centre-of-mass energies \sqrt s = 183-209 GeV are used to measure the…
One loop QCD corrections to hadronic W decay are calculated for arbitrary W polarizations . The results are applied to W pair production and decay at LEP200. We focus on the corrections to angular distributions with particular emphasis on…
Recently a slight tension between data and predictions has been reported in $t\bar{t}W$ production by both the CMS and ATLAS collaborations. We revisit the theoretical predictions for this process, focussing on the following two effects. We…
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…
A theoretical description of W-pair production in terms of two complementary Monte Carlo event generators YFSWWand KoralW is presented. The way to combine the results of these two programs in order to get precise predictions for WW physics…
We study the polarisation of gauge bosons produced at the LHC. Polarisation effects for W bosons manifest themselves in the angular distributions of the lepton and in the distributions of lepton transverse momentum and missing transverse…
This paper is a study of the single-$W$ and $W$-pair production at LEP~II. I show that the sensitivity of the single-$W$ production channel on the anomalous trilinear couplings of $W$ is essentially the same as the sensitivity of the…
In this contribution, we present new results of next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to the doubly polarized $W^+W^-$ production cross sections at the LHC, via the full leptonic final state. This calculation has been recently…
Elements of the spin density matrix for W bosons in e+e- -> W+W- -> qqln events are measured from data recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. This information is used calculate polarised differential cross-sections and to search for…
We present a study of single-W production ($\eetoenuW$) as a new probe of the anomalous couplings at the LEP energy region. The cross-section measurement of the single-W process is found to give complementary bounds on the anomalous…

The pair production of a $W$ and a $Z$ boson at the LHC is an important process to study the triple-gauge boson couplings as well as to probe new physics that could arise in the gauge sector. In particular the leptonic channel $p p \to…

The high-energy and high-luminosity data-taking campaigns of the LEP e^+e^- collider provided the four collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, with about 50000 W-boson pairs and about a thousand singly-produced W bosons. This unique…
Explicit field theory computations are carried out of the joint probabilities associated with spin correlations of $\mu^{-}\mu^{+}$ produced in $e^{-}e^{+}$ collision in the standard electroweak model to the leading order. The derived…
