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…
Bose-Einstein Correlations in e+e- to W+W- at 172 and 183 GeV
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
Bose-Einstein correlations between like-charge pions are studied in hadronic final states produced by e+e- annihilations at center-of-mass energies of 172 and 183 GeV. Three event…
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.…
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…
A Study of Parton Fragmentation in Hadronic Z0 Decays Using Lambda-Lambdabar Correlations
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
The correlated production of Lambda and Lambdabar baryons has been studied using 4.3 million multihadronic Zo decays recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. Di-lambda pairs were in…
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…
Search for Higgs Bosons and New Particles Decaying into Two Photons at sqrt(s) = 183 GeV
The OPAL Collaboration, K. Ackerstaff et al
A search for the resonant production of high mass photon pairs associated with a leptonic or hadronic system has been performed using a data sample of 57.7 pb-1 collected at an ave…
Measurement of the Average Polarization of b Baryons in Hadronic Z^0 Decays
The OPAL Collaboration, G. Abbiendi et al
In the Standard Model, b quarks produced in e^+e^- annihilation at the Z^0 peak have a large average longitudinal polarization of -0.94. Some fraction of this polarization is expec…
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…
