Measurement of W-pair cross sections in e+e− interactions at s=183GeV and W-decay branching fractions
Abstract
We report on the measurement of W-boson pair-production with the L3 detector at LEP. In a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 55.47 pb−1 collected at an average centre-of-mass energy of 182.68GeV, we select 824 four-fermion events with pairs of hadronic jets or pairs of leptons with high invariant masses. Branching fractions of W decays into different fermion-antifermion pairs are determined. Assuming charged-current lepton …
