Four-fermion production with RacoonWW
نویسنده
چکیده
RacoonWW is an event generator for ee → WW → 4 fermions(+γ) that includes full tree-level predictions for ee → 4f and ee → 4f + γ as well as O(α) corrections to ee → 4f in the so-called double-pole approximation. We briefly sketch the concept of the calculation on which this generator is based and present some numerical results.

RacoonWW1.3: A Monte Carlo program for four-fermion production at e+e− colliders
We present the Monte Carlo generator RacoonWW that computes cross sections to all processes e+e− → 4f and e+e− → 4fγ and calculates the complete O(α) electroweak radiative corrections to e+e− → WW → 4f in the electroweak Standard Model in double-pole approximation. The calculation of the tree-level processes e+e− → 4f and e+e− → 4fγ is based on the full matrix elements for massless (polarized) ...

I review the most recent progresses in the calculation of four-fermion processes in ee collisions. Introduction Final state four-fermion processes represent an important ingredient when studying high energy e e− collisions. They enter in the analysis of the Z-peak observables at LEP, as (mainly) QED pair corrections to 2-fermion processes. Such a set of contributions, together with the full set...

The relevance of radiative corrections to 4f production at LEP2 and future ee colliders is emphasized, and their treatment in the event generator RacoonWW is briefly discussed. In particular, the non-universal corrections are compared with the signature of anomalous triple gauge-boson couplings. For 4f +γ production the influence of anomalous quartic gauge-boson couplings on photon-energy distr...

RacoonWW is the first Monte Carlo generator for ee → WW → 4f(+γ) that includes the electroweak O(α) radiative corrections in the double-pole approximation completely. Some numerical results for LEP2 energies are discussed, and the predictions for the total W-pair cross section are confronted with LEP2 data.

We present precise predictions for the processes ee → WW → 4f(γ) at LEP2 and future Linear-Collider (LC) energies obtained with the Monte Carlo generator RacoonWW. The program RacoonWW includes the complete O(α) electroweak radiative corrections to ee → WW → 4f in the double-pole approximation (DPA). While the virtual corrections are treated in DPA, the calculation of the bremsstrahlung correct...
