Description

Pair production of W bosons near threshold is important for a precise measurement of the W boson mass. Accurate theoretical predictions for e^+ e^- -> four fermions require a systematic treatment of finite-width effects. In this talk I discuss unstable particle effective field theory and perform a dedicated study of the accuracy of the W mass on the basis of a NLO calculation.
