Application to Data Events

In this chapter the experimental realisation of the theoretical properties of the W-pair production process are discussed. A method for extracting the SDM elements from the angular distributions of the W decay products will be presented. Then the possible final states available through W-pair production are identified and the characteristics of each discussed. It will be shown that the $ {\rm W}^{+}{\rm W}^{-}\rightarrow{\rm q}\bar{\rm q}\ell\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ channel represents the channel with the clearest access to the SDM elements and polarised cross-sections and so accordingly is chosen as the signal process.
