Electroweak Radiative Corrections to Resonant Charged Gauge Boson Production
Doreen Wackeroth, Wolfgang Hollik
Abstract
The electroweak O(alpha) contribution to the resonant single W production in a general 4-fermion process is discussed with particular emphasis on a gauge invariant decomposition into a QED-like and weak part. The cross section in the vicinity of the resonance can be represented in terms of a convolution of a `hard' Breit-Wigner-cross section, comprising the (mt,MH)-dependent weak 1-loop corrections, with an universal radiator function. The numerical impact of the various contributions on the W line shape are discussed, together with the concepts of s-dependent and constant width approach. Analytic formulae for the W decay width are also provided including the 1-loop electroweak and QCD corrections.
