W-Boson Pair Production

  • Chapter
Book cover Precision Electroweak Physics at Electron-Positron Colliders

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics ((STMP,volume 220))

Abstract

In e+e- collisions,Wbosons can be produced singly or in pairs. At LEP 2 energies above the kinematic threshold of W-pair production the e+e- → W+W- cross section is higher than that of single-W production.
