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.…
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…
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…
