Abstract: (Elsevier)

A detailed analysis of W pair production in e + e − annihilation at LEP-II energies is presented by using helicity amplitudes for the process e + e − →W + W − with arbitrary WWγ and WWZ couplings. Expressing the complete angular distribution of W decay products in terms of these helicity amplitudes, we perform a systematic search for the most sensitive angular distributions or correlations for anomalous couplings. As a result precise tests of the gauge-theory cancellations between different diagrams are suggested. Angular distributions sensitive to W + W − rescattering effects and/or CP -violating vector boson couplings are studied as well. Complete helicity amplitudes for the process e + e − → W + W − → ( q 1 q 2 g )( q 3 q 4 g ) with arbitrary quark masses and finite W width are presented in a form convenient for their direct numerical evaluation. Amplitudes for the processes e + e − → ZZ and Z γ are also included.
