KORALW

KORALW [81,82] generates $ {\rm q\bar{\rm q}q\bar{\rm q}}$, $ {\rm q}\bar{\rm q}\ell\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ and $ \ell^{+}\nu_{\ell}\ell^{\prime -}\bar{\nu}_{\ell^{\prime}}$ final states through the process $ {\rm e}^{+}{\rm e}^{-} \rightarrow {\rm W}^{+}{\rm W}^{-} \rightarrow f_{1}\bar{f}_{2}f_{3}\bar{f}_{4}$. The latest version of KORALW can generate four-fermion final states from all possible four-fermion processes, like the other four-fermion generators. However, that version was not used in this analysis. KORALW contains initial state QED corrections [83]. It contains gauge boson widths and a Coulomb correction. It also has a naive QCD correction. Any of the 14 anomalous couplings given by the standard Lagrangian, equation 3.1, may be switched on.
