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…
We review here the measurements of W-pair production and W decay rates performed by the four LEP experiments at ECM from 161 to 209 GeV, and their relevance in support of the standard electroweak model.
Existence of discrepancies between experimental data and Monte Carlo predictions for angular distributions in four-jet production via $e^+e^-$ annihilation has been known for some time at LEP1. As such QCD processes constitute significant…
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…
Vector-boson pair production is of great phenomenological importance at the LHC. These processes will help to validate the Standard Model at highest energies, and they may also open the door for the discovery of new physics potentially…
The complete O(alpha) electroweak radiative corrections to e+e- --> WW --> 4f in the electroweak Standard Model are presented in the double-pole approximation. We give analytical and numerical results for the non-factorizable corrections…
Triple gauge boson associated production at the LHC serves as an interesting channel to test the robustness of the Standard Model. Any deviation from its SM prediction may indicate possible existence of relevant new physics, e.g., anomalous…
The effect of virtual electroweak corrections to $e^+e^- \rightarrow t \bar{t}$ and the contribution of the radiation processes $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t}Z, t\bar{t}H$ to the inclusive top pair production cross section and…
A study is made of the feasibility of maximum likelihood fits to determine M_W and triple gauge boson couplings using only those experimental kinematical variables that are well measured. A computational tool to calculate theoretical…
A Monte Carlo generator has been constructed to simulate the reaction e^+e^- \to \gamma + 4 \pi, where the photon is assumed to be observed in the detector. Only initial state radiation is considered. Additional collinear photon radiation…
Electron-positron pairs' generation occuring in the interaction of $10^{18}$-$10^{20}$~W/cm$^2$ laser radiation with high-Z targets are examined. Computational results are presented for the pair production and the positron yield from the…
We calculate the gauge-boson pairs $W^-Z$, $W^-\gamma$, $W^+W^-$, $ZZ$ productions in the $e^- \gamma$ collisions, where the photon beam is realized by the laser back-scattering method. These processes are important tests for the…
The WW production in gamma-gamma scattering is considered in the Standard Model. The main contribution to radiative effects for the process gamma-gamma->WW has been calculating and analyzing. It is found the latter is considerable at high…
With Run II of the LHC having started, the need for high precision theory predictions whose uncertainty matches that of the data to be taken necessitated a range of new developments in Monte-Carlo Event Generators. This talk will give an…
Electron-positron pairs can be produced via the Schwinger mechanism in the presence of strong electric fields. In particular, the fields involved in $\alpha$ decay and nuclear fission are strong enough to produce them. The energy of the…
We study the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow W^+W^- \gamma$ at high-energy $e^+ e^-$ colliders to investigate the effect of genuine quartic $W^+W^-\gamma\gamma$ and $W^+W^- Z\gamma$ anomalous couplings on the cross section. Deviations from the…
The top quark-antiquark pair threshold production at future High Energy Photon Colliders is considered in view of the recent advances in the theoretical description of the nonrelativistic heavy quark dynamics.
Using the quasiclassical Green's function in the Coulomb field, we analyze the probabilities of single and multiple $e^+e^-$-pair production at fixed impact parameter $b$ between colliding ultrarelativistic heavy nuclei. We perform…
These Monte Carlo studies describe the impact of higher order effects in both QCD and EW $t\bar{t}W$ production. Both next-to-leading inclusive and multileg setups are studied for $t\bar{t}W$ QCD production.
Results on W-pair productions at LEP2 are reviewed and their consistency with standard electroweak expectations is summarised. Special interest is given to measurements of W polarisation, and to new studies of spin and decay-plane…
