Abstract

We present an efficient generator for the process e+e- → 4 fermions + γ through off-shell W pairs. It is based on a massless matrix element with leading O(m2) corrections. Only the resonant WW graphs are included. We have tested it against a matrix element without these approximations and found agreement to within ∼1% at LEPII energies.
