Purpose

The series of LEP W Physics meetings aims to provide a forum for discussion of the issues relevant to the study of four-fermion production at LEP 2, concentrating on W physics. In particular, the meetings aim to increase communication and collaboration between the four LEP experiments in order to produce the best possible combined measurements of the properties of the W boson.


Working Groups

Working Group

Aims

Mass

The work of the group concentrates on:

  • Extraction : optimising the statistical precision of the W Mass measurement by improving the extraction techniques, including kinematic fitting and method used to extract the W Mass from the reconstructed .
  • Systematics : improving the understanding of the systematics uncertainties in the W mass measurement. Concentrating on systematics which are correlated between the four experiments, e.g. hadronisation.
  • Common Tools : improve the understanding of the correlations between the four experiments using tools such as the common event files and `Crete Ntuples'.
  • Selection/Four-fermion : WW, single-W and 4f cross section measurements and related issues in the W mass analysis.

TGC

The TGC working group is organised in three sub-groups which concentrate on:

  • WW channels : Extraction methods and systematic errors in the determination of charged triple gauge boson couplings. Study of model-independent descriptions of W-pair production.
  • Other channels : Determination of charged triple gauge boson couplings in single-W and single-photon production. Determination of neutral triple gauge boson couplings in Zgamma and ZZ production. Determination of quartic gauge boson couplings.
  • Tools and theory : Progress in MC generators and theoretical descriptions relevant for the study of gauge boson couplings at LEP.

FSI

The work of the group concentrates on:

  • Search : combining the statistics of the 4 LEP experiments in oder to search for BE correlation between two W's and CR.
  • Systematic:improving the understanding of the systematics uncertainties in the W mass measurement due FSI effects.
