Bose-Einstein and Colour Interference in W-pair Decays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study effects on the W mass measurements at LEP2 from non-perturbative interference effects in the fully hadronic decay channel. Based on a model for Bose-Einstein interference, which is in agreement with LEP1 data, we argue that there are no Bose-Einstein correlations between bosons coming from the different W’s. For small reconnection probabilities we rule out the possible experimental signal of colour interference at LEP2, suggested in [1]. The conclusions from this paper are that the theoretical uncertainties in the W mass determination should be smaller than the experimental statistical error. [email protected], [email protected]

The studies of Fermi–Dirac correlations of ΛΛ and ¯ Λ ¯ Λ pairs in hadronic Z decays, Bose–Einstein correlations and colour reconnection in W-pairs decays performed by the ALEPH collaboration in e + e − annihilation at LEP are presented. The OPAL analysis of Bose–Einstein correlations in W-pair decays is also discussed.

We report on studies of Bose-Einstein correlations and color reconnection in hadronic W pair production at LEP. Bose-Einstein correlations between identical particles from the decay of different W's are studied by comparing the particle correlation in hadronic W pair decays to those in events which are constructed from the combination of the hadronic parts of two events where one of the Ws deca...
