Effective Theory Approach to W-Pair Production near Threshold
Abstract
In this talk, I review the effective theory approach to unstable particle production and present results of a calculation of the process e- e+ ->mu- nubarmu u dbar X near the W-pair production threshold up to next-to-leading order in GammaW/MW ~ alpha ~ v2. The remaining theoretical uncertainty and the impact on the measurement of the W mass is discussed.
