Abstract :
The QED Coulomb correction is one of the most important corrections to the e+e− → W+W− total cross section near threshold. We calculate these corrections through second order, and discuss the implications for extracting Mw from a threshold cross section measurement at LEP2. Analytic expressions are derived in various kinematic limits.
