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.…
A Measurement of Rb using a Double Tagging Method
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
The fraction of Z to bbbar events in hadronic Z decays has been measured by the OPAL experiment using the data collected at LEP between 1992 and 1995. The Z to bbbar decays were ta…
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…
