The reaction $ e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ produces a $W$-boson pair with a non-trivial spin correlation at threshold. This correlation leads to a characteristic angular correlation between the leptons produced in $W^{\pm} \to \ell ^{\pm} \nu$…
The process of top-quark pair production at future high-energy $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders has been investigated as a possible test of physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard interactions have been assumed both for the production and…

From a total data sample of 701.1 pb^-1 recorded with e+e- centre-of-mass energies of sqrt = 161-209 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, 11693 W-pair candidate events are selected. These data are used to obtain measurements of the W-pair…

The BESS model is the Higgs-less alternative to the standard model of electroweak interaction, based on nonlinearly realized spontaneous symmetry breaking. Since it is nonrenormalizable, new couplings (not existing in the SM) are induced at…
