Four-Fermion Production in Electron-Positron Collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report summarises the results of the four-fermion working group of the LEP2-MC workshop, held at CERN from 1999 to 2000. Recent developments in the calculation of four-fermion processes in electron-positron collisions at LEP-2 centre-of-mass energies are presented, concentrating on predictions for four main reactions: W-pair production, visible photons in four-fermion events, single-W production and Z-pair production. Based on a comparison of results derived within different approaches, theoretical uncertainties on these predictions are established.

This paper studies the electroweak production of all possible four fermion states in e + e − collisions. Since the methods employed to evaluate the complete matrix elements and phase space are very general , all four fermion final states in which the charged particles are detected can be considered. Also all kinds of experimental cuts can be imposed. With the help of the constructed event gener...
متن کاملFour-fermion production in electron-positron collisions with NEXTCALIBUR
We introduce a new, fully massive, Monte Carlo program to compute all fourfermion processes in ee collisions, including Higgs production. We outline our strategy for the matrix element evaluation, the phase space generation and the implementation of the leading higher order effects, and show, where available, comparisons with existing results.

متن کاملRadiative four–fermion processes at LEP2
The production of four fermions plus a visible photon in electron-positron collisions is analyzed in the LEP2 energy range. The study is based on the calculation of exact matrix elements, including the effect of fermion masses. In the light of the present measurements performed at LEP, triple and quartic anomalous gauge couplings are taken into account. Due to the presence of a visible photon i...
متن کاملSingle heavy lepton production in high energy electron-positron collisions.
The production and decay of exotic leptons are discussed in the context of the vector singlet, vector doublet and fermion mirror-fermion models, at c.m. energies √ s = 190GeV (LEP II) and √ s = 500GeV (NLC). The model dependence of total cross sections and kinematic distributions at these energies is shown to be weak for these three extended models, indicating that it would be difficult to esta...
