We study the effects of radiative corrections and W boson finite width effects on the energy dependence of the process e + e − → W + W − → f 1 f 2 f 3 f 4 in the W+W− threshold region. We pay particular attention to the effect of the W finite width on the Coulomb correction. We present a “master” formula for the cross section which is relevant to a precision determination of MW by an energy scan of W+W− production through the threshold region.
