Abstract
We study the effects of radiative corrections and W boson finite width effects on the energy dependence of the process e+e- --> W+W- --> f1f 2f3f4BAR 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 pre cision determination of M(W) by an energy scan of W+W- production thro ugh the threshold region.
