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…
Evaluation of the LEP Centre-of-Mass Energy Above the W-Pair Production Threshold
Michael D. Hildreth
Knowledge of the beam energy at LEP2 is of primary importance to set the absolute energy scale for the measurement of the W-boson mass. The beam energy above 80 GeV is derived from…
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…
