Four-fermion production with RACOONWW

Abstract

RACOONWW is an event generator for e+e- --> WW --> 4fermions(+gamma) that includes full tree-level predictions for e+e- --> 4f and e+e- --> 4f+gamma as well as O(alpha) corrections to e+e- --> 4f in the so-called double-pole approximation. We briefly sketch the concept of the calculation on which this generator is based and present some numerical results.
