Modified perturbation theory for angular distribution in W-pair production

Abstract

We examine the capabilities of the modified perturbation theory (MPT) for description of $W$-pair production and decay in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation. In a model with Dyson-resummed propagators of unstable particles, we calculate even and odd contributions to the distribution in the cosine of the $W^{-}$ production angle relative to the $e^{-}$ beam. On comparing the results of calculations in the NNLO approximation of MPT with the exact results in the model, a coincidence of outcomes at the ILC energies is detected at the per-mille level.
