A study of W+W- events accompanied by hard photon radiation produced in e+e- collisions at LEP is presented. Events consistent with two on-shell W-bosons and an isolated photon are selected from 183pb^-1 of data recorded at root{s}=189GeV.…
A search is performed in symmetric 3-jet hadronic Z decay events for evidence of colour singlet production or colour reconnection effects. Asymmetries in the angular separation of particles are found to be sensitive indicators of such…
In this Report, QCD results obtained from a study of hadronic event structure in high energy e^+e^- interactions with the L3 detector are presented. The operation of the LEP collider at many different collision energies from 91 GeV to 209…
The rapid increase of the e+e- --> W+W- cross section in the threshold region provides a method for measuring M(W) at LEP2. The dependence of the theoretical cross section -- including the effects of the finite W width, Coulomb interactions…
Cross-talk between the W^+ and W^- sources of hadron production at LEP2 offers a hope to learn about basic properties of QCD, but at the same time threatens high-precision measurements of the W boson mass. Directly visible effects are not…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Results are presented from a study of the structure of hadronic events in high-energy e+e- interactions detected by the L3 detector at LEP. Various event shape distributions and their moments are measured at several energy points at and…
A strict method to calculate the color rearrangement probability at partonic level in hadronic $W^+W^-$ decays is proposed. The color effective Hamiltonian $H_c$ is constructed from invariant amplitude for the process $e^+e^- \to W^+W^- \to…
We discuss the potential of a $0.5\hskip 2pt TeV$ linear collider to explore manifestations of extended (or alternative) electroweak models of current interest, through measurements of the reaction $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-$ with both initial and…
At LEP II it is hoped to measure the W mass to an accuracy of around 40 MeV. This will require direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both the semi-leptonic and hadronic decay channels. Final state…
Two measurements are presented of estimators sensitive to the Colour Reconnection effect in WW events at LEP2. The results are compared with various phenomenological Monte Carlo implementations of the effect. A feasibility study is…
Recent experimental results on color coherence phenomena from e+e-, ep, and ppbar collisions are presented. The data are compared to analytic perturbative QCD calculations based on the modified leading logarithm approximation and the local…
A mathematical formalism for the analysis of correlations in multi-source events such as $W^+W^-$ production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations is presented. Various measures used in experimental searches for inter-$W$ correlations are reviewed.
Energy flow distributions from tagged $\gamma\gamma$ events generated with HERWIG are presented for $E_{beam} = 45.6$ GeV (LEP1) and $E_{beam} = 175$ GeV (top-quark threshold at a future e^+e^- Linear Collider). They have very similar…
The production of W+W- pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 182.7 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 57 pb-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays…
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…
Possible oblique effects from vector particles that are strongly coupled to the known gauge bosons are calculated for the case of final hadronic states produced at future $e^+e^-$ colliders, using a formalism that was recently proposed and…
