We perform a dedicated study of the four-fermion production process e- e+ -> mu- nubar_mu u dbar X near the W pair-production threshold in view of the importance of this process for a precise measurement of the W boson mass. Accurate…
In this talk, I review the effective theory approach to unstable particle production and present results of a calculation of the process e- e+ ->mu- nubar_mu u dbar X near the W-pair production threshold up to next-to-leading order in…
We calculate the parametrically dominant next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to four-fermion production e^- e^+ -> mu^- nubar_mu u dbar + X at centre-of-mass energies near the W-pair production threshold employing the method of…
The recent evaluation of the parametrically dominant next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to four-fermion production near the W-pair threshold in the framework of unstable-particle effective theory is briefly summarized.
We review the status of theoretical predictions for W-pair production at high energies. We discuss a systematic scenario towards a Monte-Carlo generator for e^+e^- --> 4f(\gamma), which meets the experimental requirements. In particular we…
The investigation of W-pair production offers unique precision tests of the electroweak theory at future e+e- colliders, including precise determinations of cross sections, the W-boson mass, and gauge-boson self-couplings. The…
Using the recently proposed ALPHA algorithm (and the resulting code) I compute the rate (at tree level) for the process $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\bar\nu_e e^- u \bar d$. The bulk of the contribution is due to W pair production and decay.…
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…
In this paper we present two methods to evaluate non-factorizable corrections to pair-production of unstable particles. The methods are illustrated in detail for W-pair-mediated four-fermion production. The results are valid a few widths…
The recently completed calculation of the full electroweak O(alpha) corrections to the charged-current four-fermion production processes e+e- --> nu_tau tau+ mu- anti-nu_mu, u anti-d mu- anti-nu_mu, and u anti-d s anti-c is briefly…
Near-threshold production of charged boson pairs is considered within the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass. The results of calculations are in good agreement with LEP II data and Monte-Carlo simulations.…
We illustrate the use of effective theory methods to describe resonant unstable particles. We outline the necessary ingredients to describe $W$-pair production close to threshold in $e^-e^+$ collisions.
The measurements of four-fermion production rates performed at LEP2 in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 161 to 209 GeV are presented. The focus is put on processes that involve the production and decay of W or Z…
This report summarises the results of the four-fermion working group of the LEP2-MC workshop, held at CERN from 1999 to 2000. Recent developments in the calculation of four-fermion processes in electron-positron collisions at LEP-2…
The various four-fermion production channels in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation are discussed and the {\tt CC11} process $e^+ e^- \rightarrow {\bar f}_1^u f_1^d f^u_2 {\bar f}_2^d$, {\mbox{$f$$\neq$$e$}}, is studied in detail. The cross section…
We have constructed a Monte Carlo generator for lowest-order predictions for the processes gamma gamma -> 4f and gamma gamma -> 4f+gamma in the Standard Model and extensions thereof by an effective gamma gamma Higgs coupling as well as…
The status of predictions for four-fermion production at e-e+ colliders is reviewed with an emphasis on the developments after the LEP2 era and an outlook to the challenges posed by the precision program at future colliders.
High-precision predictions for W-production processes are complicated by the instability of the W bosons, requirements of gauge invariance, and the necessity to include radiative corrections. Salient features and recent progress concerning…
We consider the $W$-pair production for both $e^+e^-$ and hadron colliders in the context of unparticle physics associated with the scale invariant sector proposed by Georgi. We have shown that the unparticle contributions are quite…
The present knowledge on four-fermion production in electron-positron collisions is reviewed, with emphasis on W boson physics. Different methods to extract M_W from the data are presented and the role of QCD loop corrections discussed.
