Correlations in e+e- --> W+W- hadronic decays

Abstract

A mathematical formalism for the analysis of correlations in multi-source events such as $W^{+}{W}^{-}$ production in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilations is presented. Various measures used in experimental searches for inter-$W$ correlations are reviewed.
