Four Fermion processes at LEP II


Abstract in English

In its second phase, LEP has given the unique opportunity to study four fermion processes never observed before. This papers deals with a preliminary study of $WW$, $We u$, $ZZ$ and $Zgamma^star$ production in $e^+e^-$ collisions. Measurement results on $WW$ cross section, $W$ branching fractions, $WWV$ ($V=Z/gamma$) anomalous couplings and $W$ average polarization in $WW$ events are presented. Moreover cross section measurements for $We u$, $ZZ$ and $Zgamma^star$ production and limits on $ZZZ$ and $ZZgamma$ anomalous couplings are reported. All the results are in good agreement with the Standard Model expectations.
