Measurements of the decay of the Z0 into lepton pairs

Abstract

We report on a measurement of the processes e+e−→e+e−, e+e−→μ+μ−, and e+e−→τ+τ− near the Z0 pole. On the basis of 163 e+e−, 101 μ+μ− and 87 τ+τ− events we obtain Γee=89±4±4 MeV, Γμμ=85±9±6 MeV and Γττ=87±10±8 MeV, compatible with the standard model. Combining these with our previous results on hadronic Z0 decays, we find a hadronic width Γhad=1787±81±90 MeV and an invisible width Γinv=552±85±71 MeV.
