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…
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…
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…
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…
