The properties of the W boson are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on recent measurements from the LEP2 and Tevatron experiments.
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…
Studying the properties of the W boson plays a key role in precision tests of the Standard Model. The key measurements performed over the last decade will be reviewed. W-pair and single-W cross-sections and W decay branching fractions are…
The current status of electroweak physics results from LEP is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the latest results on the properties of the Z and W bosons. The updated status of the global electroweak fit to the standard model and…
Studying the properties of the W boson naturally plays a key role in precision tests of the Standard Model. In this paper, the key measurements performed at LEP and the Tevatron over the last decade are reviewed. The current world knowledge…
We review the precision measurement of the mass of the W-boson at LEP. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments to determine the mass of the W-boson as well as the major sources of systematic uncertainty. The measurement…
The mass of the W boson is measured at LEP by fully reconstructing the W boson decays. The measurement techniques and systematic uncertainties are presented. The current measurement of the mass of the W boson at LEP yields 80.412 +/- 0.042…
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…
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…
In 1998, the four experiments of LEP, i.e. ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, collected data of about 175 /pb per experiment at the center-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. Using these data, the mass of W boson was directly measured by reconstructing the…
The W-boson mass has been measured using the ALEPH detector at LEP. Preliminary results from data taken in 1998 are added to previous measurements to give mW = 80.411 +- 0.064(stat.) +- 0.037(syst.) +- 0.022(BE-CR) +- 0.018(LEP) GeV/c2.
Measurements of hadronic final state interactions in W-pair events at LEP are presented. In particular, different scenarios of colour reconnection are studied. The data agree with moderate colour reconnection effects. Extreme scenarios are…
We review the precision measurement of the mass and couplings of the W Boson at LEP. The total and differential W+W- cross section is used to extract the WWZ and WWgamma couplings. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments…
Final results from the combined data of the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL on Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson searches are presented. New preliminary results of searches in extended models are reviewed.
The measurement of the mass of the W boson, m_W, by direct reconstruction is described. The combination of all measurements of the four LEP experiments yields m_W = 80.412 +- 0.042 GeV. Together with several other measurements the extracted…
Recent experimental results on Bose-Einstein correlations are presented. Emphasis will be put on the measurement of between-W correlations in WW events at LEP 2.
The analyses and results on WW physics obtained in the first year of running of LEP2 are summarized. The determination of the W mass, both through the measurement of the WW production cross section at a center-of-mass energy of 161 GeV and…
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…
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…
A review is given of the measurements of triple and quartic couplings among the electroweak gauge bosons performed at LEP by the four experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL. Emphasis is placed on recently published results and on…
