A study of W+W−γ events at LEP
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A study of W+W− events accompanied by hard photon radiation, Eγ>2.5 GeV, produced in e+e− collisions at LEP is presented. Events consistent with being two on-shell W-bosons and an isolated photon are selected from 681 pb−1 of data recorded at 180 GeV<s<209 GeV. From the sample of 187 selected W+W−γ candidates with photon energies greater than 2.5 GeV, the W+W−γ cross-section is determined at five values of s. The results are consistent with the Standard Model expectation. Averaging over all energies, the ratio of the observed cross-section to the Standard Model expectation is R(data/SM)=0.99±0.09±0.04, where the errors represent the statistical and systematic uncertainties respectively. These data provide constraints on the related O(α) systematic uncertainties on the measurement of the W-boson mass at LEP. Finally, the data are used to derive 95% confidence level upper limits on possible anomalous contributions to the W+W−γγ and W+W−Z0γ vertices: −0.020 GeV−2<a0Λ2<0.020 GeV−2,−0.053 GeV−2<acΛ2<0.037 GeV−2,−0.16 GeV−2<anΛ2<0.15 GeV−2, where Λ represents the energy scale for new physics and a0, ac and an are dimensionless coupling constants.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
