Abstract
One-loop QCD corrections to hadronic W decay are calculated for arbitr ary W polarizations. The results are applied to W pair production and decay at LEP200. We focus on the corrections to angular distributions with particular emphasis on azimuthal distributions and correlations. The relevance of our results to the experimental determination of poss ible non-standard triple gauge boson interactions is discussed.
