Abstract
The pattern of soft photon radiation in e+e- --> W+W- has a rich struc ture, with contributions from photon emission off the initial state an d off the final state particles both before and after decay. In partic ular, the interference between the contributions involving the decayin g W's depends on the decay width. We review the theoretical result for the radiation pattern, and present predictions for LEP200, i.e. in ee- annihilation just above W+W- threshold.
