The modeling of color reconnection has become one of the dominant sources of systematic uncertainty in the top mass determination at hadron colliders. The uncertainty on the top mass due to color reconnection is conventionally estimated by…
After the first observations of W bosons in leptonic interactions, about 4000 WW candidate events per experiment have been collected at LEP2. This data allows the measurement of the WW production cross section at different centre-of-mass…
Interactions between the products of the hadronic decays of different Ws in WW pair events can occur at several stages: from the colour rearrangement between the quarks coming from the primary branching, to the gluon exchange during the…
According to the basic properties of QCD, colour reconnection effects can occur in hadronic processes at high energies. The comparison of $e^{+}e^{-}\to Z^0Z^0\to q\bar{q}q'\bar{q'}$ events with the superposition of $Z^0\to q\bar{q}$ and…
Hadronic events at the Z pole have been investigated in search for Colour Reconnection effects and QCD coherence. Colour Reconnection effects are searched for in three-jet events and the data results are compared to the predictions of…
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…
We have investigated some observable consequences of colour reconnection in the reaction e+e- -> W+ W- -> q_1 qbar_2 q_3 qbar_4. We use a measure based on the momentum structure of the event, comparing reconnected events with `standard'…
From 1996 up to 2000 the LEP collider at CERN has operated at center of mass energies above the production threshold for W boson pairs of approximately 160 GeV. The obtained data are used to extract a preliminary W mass value of (80.450 +-…
Precise measurements of the mass and width of the W boson are carried out in e+e- collisions at LEP, by kinematic reconstruction of the invariant mass distributions of WW->qqlv and WW->qqqq candidate events. The most recent combination of…
We propose a systematic study of Bose-Einstein correlations between identical hadrons coming from different W decays. Experimentally accessible signatures of these correlations as well as of possible color reconnection effects are discussed…
In 1997 each LEP experiment collected approximately $55 {pb}^{-1}$ of data at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. These data yield a sample of candidate $e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ events from which the mass of the W boson, M_W, is measured. The…
Enhanced production of hadrons with $s$-quark content has been observed in $pp$ collisions at LHC, and earlier in collisions of heavy nuclei. We review the string hadronisation formalism and correc- tions from rope hadronisation and colour…
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…
Several preliminary QCD results from e+e- interactions at LEP are reported. These include studies of event shape variables, which are used to determine alpha_s and for studies of the validity of power corrections. Further, a study of color…
In 1997 each LEP experiment collected approximately 55 inv. pb of data at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. These data yield a sample of candidate e+e- -> WW events from which the mass of the W boson, Mw, is measured. The LEP combined…
We have a very limited knowledge about how the confinement mechanism works in processes like $\epea\epe\ra\epq\epqa\ggn\ldots\ggn$, when there are identical colour charges. In this case the partons can be connected by a string or a cluster…
We describe the implementation details of the colour reconnection model in the event generator Herwig++. We study the impact on final-state observables in detail and confirm the model idea from colour preconfinement on the basis of studies…
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…
The studies of Fermi-Dirac correlations of $\Lambda\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}\bar{\Lambda}$ pairs in hadronic $\mathrm{Z}$ decays, Bose-Einstein correlations and colour reconnection in $\mathrm{W}$-pairs decays performed by the ALEPH…
The effects of Final State Interactions(FSI), Colour Reconnection(CR) and Bose--Einstein Correlations(BEC) at small relative momenta of particles are discussed. The short review of the LEP results on BEC at Z-peak, on BEC between particles…
