A Measurement of the tau->electron Branching Ratio
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
The branching ratio for the decay tau->e nue nutau has been measured using Z0 decay data collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP. In total 33073 tau->e nue nutau candidates were id…
Search for Anomalous Photonic Events with Missing Energy in e+e- Collisions at Ecm = 130, 136 and 183 GeV
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130, 136 and 183 GeV collected in 1997 using the OPAL detector at LEP.…
Measurement of the Longitudinal Cross-Section using the Direction of the Thrust Axis in Hadronic Events at LEP
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
In the process e+e- to hadrons, one of the effects of gluon emission is to modify the 1+cos(theta)**2 form of the angular distribution of the thrust axis, an effect which may be qu…
First Measurement of Z/gamma* Production in Compton Scattering of Quasi-real Photons
OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
We report the first observation of Z/gamma* production in Compton scattering of quasi-real photons. This is a subprocess of the reaction e+e- to e+e-Z/gamma*, where one of the fina…
Measurements of Flavour Dependent Fragmentation Functions in Z^0 -> qq(bar) Events
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
Fragmentation functions for charged particles in Z -> qq(bar) events have been measured for bottom (b), charm (c) and light (uds) quarks as well as for all flavours together. The r…
An upper limit on the anomalous magnetic moment of the τlepton
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
Using radiative Z^0 -> τ^+ τ^- γevents collected with the OPAL detector at LEP at \sqrt{s}= M_Z during 1990-95, a direct study of the electromagnetic current at the τγvertex has be…
A Search for Neutral Higgs Bosons in the MSSM and Models with Two Scalar Field Doublets
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
A search is described for the neutral Higgs bosons h^0 and A^0 predicted by models with two scalar field doublets and, in particular, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSS…
Search for an Excess in the Production of Four-Jet Events from e^+e^- Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 130-184 GeV
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
Events with four distinct jets from e^+e^- collisions, collected by the OPAL detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 and 184 GeV, are analysed for a peak in the sum of dije…
Production of f_0(980), f_2(1270) and ϕ(1020) in hadronic Z^0 decay
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
Inclusive production of the f_0(980), f_2(1270) and ϕ(1020) resonances has been studied in a sample of 4.3 million hadronic Z^0 decays from the OPAL experiment at LEP. A coupled ch…
Measurements of the B^0_s and Λ_b Lifetimes
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
This paper presents updated measurements of the lifetimes of the B^0_s meson and the Λ_b baryon using 4.4 million hadronic Z^0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP from 1990…
