Beyond the measurement of $R_\ell$ at the Z pole, another interesting possibility for the $\alpha_{\rm s}$ determination is to use to use the W hadronic width as measured from W-pair events at and above 161 GeV. The quantity of interest is the branching ratio $B_{\rm had}= \Gamma_{\rm W \to hadrons}/\Gamma^tot_{\rm W}$, which can extract be extracted by measuring the fractions of WW events to the
fully leptonic, semi-leptonic and fully hadronic final states:
\begin{equation}
{\rm BR({\rm WW} \to \ell^+ \nu \ell’^- \bar{\nu}) = (1-B_{\rm had})^2
\\ \end{equation}
\begin{equation}
{\rm BR({\rm WW} \to \ell^+ \nu {\rm q\bar{q’}}) = (1-B_{\rm had})\times B_{\rm had}
\\ \end{equation}
\begin{equation}
{\rm BR({\rm WW} \to {\rm q\bar{q’} q’’\bar{q’’’}})= B_{\rm
had}^2\\ had}^2
\end{equation}
