We discuss the possibility of colour rearrangement in $\ee \to \W^+ \W^- \to \q_1 \qbar_2 \q_3 \qbar_4$ events, i.e.\ that the original colour singlets $\q_1 \qbar_2$ and $\q_3 \qbar_4$ may be transmuted, for instance, into new singlets…
In the events of the type $e^+e^- \rightarrow W^+W^- \rightarrow$ 4 jets, $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t} \rightarrow bW^+\bar{b}W^-$, particle production could depend in a non-trivial way on the kinematics of the process. It is shown that QCD…

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…
Numerical results on non-factorizable corrections to e+e- --> WW --> 4fermions with semi-leptonic and hadronic final states, as well as to e+e- --> ZZ --> 4fermions, are presented. The corrections turn out to be small in comparison to the…
The mass of the W boson is determined from the direct reconstruction of its decays into purely hadronic and semi-leptonic events in e+e- collisions at LEP. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 683 inverse picobarns…
