摘要
The complete matrix elements for e(+)e(-) --> 4f and e(+)e(-) --> 4f gamma are calculated in the Electroweak Standard Model for polarized massless fermions. The matrix elements for all final states are reduced to a few compact generic functions. Monte Carlo generators for e(+)e(-) --> 4f and e(+)e(-) --> 4f gamma are constructed. We compare different treatments of the finite widths of the electroweak gauge bosons; in particular, we include a scheme with a complex gauge-boson mass that obeys all Ward identities. The detailed discussion of numerical results comprises integrated cross sections as well as photon-energy distributions for all different final states. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
