O(alpha) corrections to e+e- --> WW --> 4fermions(+gamma): first numerical results from RACOONWW

Abstract

First numerical results of the Monte Carlo generator RACOONWW for e+e- --> WW --> 4fermions(+gamma) in the electroweak Standard Model are presented. This event generator is the first one that includes O(alpha) electroweak radiative corrections in the double-pole approximation completely. We briefly describe the strategy of the calculation and give numerical results for total cross sections, including CC03, and various distributions.
