Ww Production, Polarisation and Spin Correlations at Lep
نویسنده
چکیده
During the data taking years from 1996 to 2000 the LEP2 program has delivered ee interactions at centre of mass energies ranging from 161 to 207 GeV. In this period the four LEP experiments (ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, OPAL) have collected a total integrated luminosity of almost 3 fb. The LEP2 data yielded about 40,000 W pair events, reconstructed in all their decay channels. Event rates allowed measurements of the W pair partial and total cross sections at different energies, as well as of W decay branching fractions. Further, the study of the W pair decay products kinematics allowed determinations of the W polarisation states, and of correlations among the two W bosons.

Interconnection Effects in Multiparticle Production from WW Events at LEP
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 parton cascade, to the mixing of identical pions due to Bose-Einstein correlations. Besides the intrinsic interest of their study related to the understanding o...

Analyses of Bose-Einstein Correlations in WW events at LEP2 by the four LEP collaborations are presented. In particular, Bose-Einstein correlations in WW overlap are investigated and the possible existence of these correlations between particles coming from different W’s, which may influence the W-mass measurements in the fully hadronic channel ee → WW → q1q̄2q3q̄4. No evidence for such an inter-...
متن کاملBose-Einstein correlations in WW events at LEP
The current status of the LEP results on Bose-Einstein correlations is discussed. Emphasis is given to the measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations between decay products from different W’s, in an energy range between 172 and 209 GeV, dependent on the experiment. For the first time all four LEP experiments conclude that no evidence for correlations between pions from different W’s is seen at t...
