Tests of real W-boson pair production

Abstract The energy spectrum and the angular distribution of the muon in the reaction e + e − → W + W − → q q ( two quark jets )+μ − ν μ are calculated in the framework of the Weinberg-Salam model. It is shown that the signal is well above the conventional backgrounds and thus could provide a clean signature for real W + W − production at LEP energies. Other distributions are briefly described.
