Measurement of the W-pair cross-section and of the W mass in e(+)e(-) interactions at 172 GeV
- Abstract:
-
From a data sample of 9.98 pb-1 integrated luminosity, collected by DELPHI at a centre-of-mass energy of 172 GeV, 118 events were selected as W-pair candidates. From these, the branching fraction Br(W → qq̄) was measured to be 0.660+0.036-0.037 (stat.) ± 0.009(syst.) and the cross-section for the doubly resonant process e+e- → W+W- to be 11.58+1.44-1.35 (stat.) ± 0.32(syst.) pb. The mass of the W boson, obtained from direct reconstruction of the invariant mass of the fermion pairs in the deca...
