Test of non-commutative QED in the process e+e- -> gamma gamma at LEP
The OPAL collaboration
Non-commutative QED would lead to deviations from the Standard Model depending on a new energy scale Lambda_NC and a unique direction in space defined by two angles eta and xi. Her…
Search for Associated Production of Massive States Decaying into Two Photonsin e+e- Annihilations at sqrt(s) = 88-209 GeV
The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi
A search is performed for production of short-lived particles in e+e- -> XY, with X -> gamma gamma and Y -> ffbar, for scalar X and scalar or vector Y. Model-independent limits in…
Angular Analysis of the Muon Pair Asymmetry at LEP 1
The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi
Data on muon pair production obtained by the OPAL collaboration at centre of mass energies near the Z peak are analysed. Small angular mismatches between the directions of the two…
Measurement of Vub using b hadron semileptonic decays
The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi
The magnitude of the CKM matrix element Vub is determined by measuring the inclusive charmless semileptonic branching fraction of beauty hadrons at OPAL based on b -> Xu l nu event…
A Measurement of the Rate of Charm Production in W Decays
The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi
Using data recorded at centre-of-mass energies around 183 GeV and 189 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, the fundamental coupling of the charm quark to the W boson has been studied…
Measurement of the Mass and Width of the W Boson in e+e- Collisions at 189 GeV
The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi
The mass and width of the W boson are determined in e+e- collisions at LEP using 183 pb^-1 of data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy roots=189 GeV with the OPAL detector. The inv…
