Six-fermion production at e+e- colliders

Abstract

The class of six-fermion production processes at e+e- colliders comprises very interesting particle reactions, such as the production of top-quark pairs and of Higgs bosons in the intermediate Higgs mass range, the scattering of massive gauge bosons, and triple gauge-boson production. The Monte Carlo event generator LUSIFER is designed for the analysis of such processes. A few illustrating results obtained with LUSIFER are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, latex, 4 eps files, to appear in the proceedings of the "International Workshop on Linear Colliders", August 26-30, 2002, Jeju Island, Kore
