"Four Fermion" Events


Remember the example diagram we used to represent qqg events:


Instead of flying out and being observed in the calorimeter, sometimes the photon produces an additional particle-antiparticle pair. Such events contain two particle-antiparticle pairs. For example:

.

These events go by the jargon name "four fermion" events. Here is an example event that contains electron-positron and muon-antimuon pairs:
