A measurement of the W boson mass and width has been performed by the DELPHI collaboration using the data collected during
the full LEP2 programme (1996–2000). The data sample has an integrated luminosity of 660 pb-1 and was collected over a range of centre-of-mass energies from 161 to 209 GeV.
Results are obtained by applying the method of direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both
the W+W-→ℓν̄ℓqq̄’ and W+W-→qq̄’q̄q’ channels. The W mass result for the combined data set is where FSI represents the uncertainty due to final state interaction effects in the qq̄’q̄q’ channel, and LEP represents that
arising from the knowledge of the collision energy of the accelerator. The combined value for the W width is These results supersede all values previously published by the DELPHI collaboration.

Measured ratios of decay rates for , and are presented. These measurements are based on K± decays collected in a dedicated run in 2003 by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN. The results obtained are and . Using the PDG average for the K±→π±π0 normalisation mode, both values are found to be larger than the current values given by the particle data book and lead to
a larger magnitude of the |Vus| CKM element than previously accepted. When combined with the latest particle data book value of |Vud|, the result is in agreement with unitarity of the CKM matrix. In addition, a new measured value of is compared to the semi-empirical predictions based on the latest form factor measurements.

In an earlier paper [1], the background for Ke3 was over estimated due to an erroneous calculation of the electron identification efficiency. The correct ratios of the partial
widths involving this channel are and . Assuming the PDG value [2] for the K2π branching ratio, the measured branching fraction of Br (Ke3) continues to exceed the current PDG value [2]. The extracted value of |Vus|f+(0) is in agreement with the CKM unitary prediction; thus, our conclusions in [1] do not change.

Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV are used to study the four-jet event production rate as a function of the Durham jet algorithm’s resolution parameter ycut. The four-jet rate is compared to QCD next-to-leading order calculations including resummation of large logarithms in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. The strong coupling measured from the four-jet rate is in agreement with the world average. 相似文献

Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons at centre-of-mass energies between 91 GeV and 209 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP,
are used to study the four-jet rate as a function of the Durham algorithm resolution parameter ycut. The four-jet rate is compared to next-to-leading order calculations that include the resummation of large logarithms. The
strong coupling measured from the four-jet rate is
in agreement with the world average. Next-to-leading order fits to the D-parameter and thrust minor event-shape observables
are also performed for the first time. We find consistent results, but with significantly larger theoretical uncertainties. 相似文献

A determination of the single W spin density matrix (SDM) elements in the reaction e+e-→W+W-→lνqq̄(l=e/μ) is reported at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated
luminosity of 520 pb-1 taken by DELPHI between 1998 and 2000.
The single W SDM elements, ρττ’
W± (τ,τ’=± 1 or 0), are determined as a function of the W- production angle with respect to the e- beam direction and are obtained from measurements of the W decay products by the application of suitable projection operators,
Λττ’, which assume the V-A coupling of the W-boson to fermions.
The measured SDM elements are used to obtain the fraction of longitudinally polarised Ws, with the result: at a mean energy of 198 GeV. The SDM elements are also used to determine the triple gauge couplings Δg1

From a total data sample of 701.1 pb-1 recorded with e+e- centre-of-mass energies of 161–209 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, 11693 W-pair candidate events are selected. These data are used to obtain measurements
of the W-pair production cross sections at 10 different centre-of-mass energies. The ratio of the measured cross sections
to the standard model expectation is found to be: , where the uncertainties are statistical, experimental systematics and theory systematics respectively. The data are used
to determine the W boson branching fractions, which are found to be consistent with lepton universality of the charged current
interaction. Assuming lepton universality, the branching ratio to hadrons is determined to be 67.41±0.37(stat.)±0.23(syst.)%,
from which the CKM matrix element |Vcs| is determined to be 0.969±0.017(stat.)±0.012(syst.). The differential cross section as a function of the W- production angle is measured for the qqeν and qqμν final states. The results described in this paper are consistent with
the expectations from the standard model.

The mass of the W boson is determined from the direct reconstruction of W decays in WW→qq̄qq̄ and WW→ℓνqq̄ events in e+e- collisions at LEP. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 683 pb-1 collected with the ALEPH detector at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. To minimise any effect from colour reconnection
a new procedure is adopted in which low energy particles are not considered in the mass determination from the qq̄qq̄ channel.
The combined result from all channels is
where FSI represents the possible effects of final state interactions in the qq̄qq̄ channel and LEP indicates the uncertainty
in the beam energy. From two-parameter fits to the W mass and width, the W width is found to be

An experimental study of the normalized three-jet rate of b quark events with respect to light quarks events (light=ℓ≡u,d,s)
has been performed using the CAMBRIDGE and DURHAM jet algorithms. The data used were collected by the DELPHI experiment at
LEP on the Z peak from 1994 to 2000. The results are found to agree with theoretical predictions treating mass corrections
at next-to-leading order. Measurements of the b quark mass have also been performed for both the b pole mass: Mb and the b running mass: mb(MZ). Data are found to be better described when using the running mass. The measurement yields:
for the CAMBRIDGE algorithm.
This result is the most precise measurement of the b mass derived from a high energy process. When compared to other b mass
determinations by experiments at lower energy scales, this value agrees with the prediction of quantum chromodynamics for
the energy evolution of the running mass. The mass measurement is equivalent to a test of the flavour independence of the
strong coupling constant with an accuracy of 7 ‰. 相似文献

The mass and width of the W boson are measured using e+e– → W+W– events from the data sample collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 170 GeV and 209 GeV.
The mass (mW) and width (ΓW) are determined using direct reconstruction of the kinematics of W+W– →
and W+W– →
events. When combined with previous OPAL measurements using W+W– →
events and the dependence on of the WW production cross-section at threshold, the results are determined to be

We study the exclusive Λb→Λℓ+ℓ- decay in the Appelquist, Chang, Dobrescu model with a single universal extra dimension. We investigate the sensitivity of
the branching ratio, lepton polarization and forward–backward asymmetry to the compactification parameter 1/R. We obtain the result that the branching ratio for the Λb→Λℓ+ℓ- (ℓ=μ,τ) decay changes about 25% compared to the SM value when 1/R=250 GeV, and the zero position of the forward–backward
asymmetry is shifted to the left compared to the SM result. Therefore, measurement of the branching ratio of Λb→Λℓ+ℓ- decay and determination of the zero position of are very useful in looking for new physics in the framework of the UED models.

Moments of the hadronic invariant mass and of the lepton energy spectra in semileptonic B decays have been determined with
the data recorded by the DELPHI detector at LEP. From measurements of the inclusive b-hadron semileptonic decays, and imposing constraints from other measurements on b- and c-quark masses, the first three moments of the lepton energy distribution and of the hadronic mass distribution, have been
used to determine parameters which enter into the extraction of |Vcb| from the measurement of the inclusive b-hadron semileptonic decay width. The values obtained in the kinetic scheme are:
and include corrections at order 1/mb3. Using these results, and present measurements of the inclusive semileptonic decay partial width of b-hadrons at LEP, an accurate determination of |Vcb| is obtained:

Symmetric three-jet events are selected from hadronic Z0 decays such that the two lower energy jets are each produced at an angle of about 150° with respect to the highest energy
jet. In some cases, a displaced secondary vertex is reconstructed in one of the two lower energy jets, which permits the other
lower energy jet to be identified as a gluon jet through anti-tagging. In other cases, the highest energy jet is tagged as
a b jet or as a light quark (uds) jet using secondary vertex or track impact parameter and momentum information. Comparing
the two lower energy jets of the events with a tag in the highest energy jet to the anti-tagged gluon jets yields a direct
comparison of b, uds and gluon jets, which are produced with the same energy of about 24 GeV and under the same conditions.
We observe b jets and gluon jets to have similar properties as measured by the angular distribution of particle energy around
the jet directions and by the fragmentation functions. In contrast, gluon jets are found to be significantly broader and to
have a markedly softer fragmentation function than uds jets. For thek
⊥ jet finder withy
cut=0.02, we find
as the ratios of the mean charged particle multiplicity in the gluon jets compared to the b and uds jets. Results are also
reported using the cone jet finder. 相似文献

±, which are suggested by the little Higgs models. We find that the ILC with and CLIC with cover different regions of the LHM parameters. We show that this channel can provide a determination of the parameters, complementary
to measurements of the extra gauge bosons obtainable at the upcoming LHC experiments.

A search for the pair production of fourth generation b’-quarks was performed using data taken by the DELPHI detector at LEP-II.
The analysed data were collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 196 to 209 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of 420 pb-1. No evidence for a signal was found. Upper limits on BR(b’→bZ) and BR(b’→cW) were obtained for b’ masses ranging from 96
to 103 GeV/c

. The ratio of
