Abstract: A selection of di-lepton events with significant missing transverse momentum has been performed using a total data sample of 237.4 pb-1 at e+e- centre-of-rnass energies of approximately 183 GeV and 189 GeV. The observed numbers of events - 78 at 183 GeV and 301 at 189 GeV - are consistent with the numbers expected from Standard Model processes, which arise predominantly from W+W- production with both W bosons decaying leptonically. This topology is also an experimental signature for the pair production of new particles that decay to a charged lepton accompanied by one or more invisible particles. Discrimination techniques are described that optimise the sensitivity to particular new physics channels. No evidence for new phenomena is apparent. Upper limits on the production cross-section times branching ratio squared for sleptons and for leptonically decaying charginos and charged Higgs are presented in a manner intended to minimise the number of model assumptions. Assuming a 100% branching ratio for the decay l±R → l±χ01, where χ01 is the lightest neutralino, we exclude at 95% CL: right-handed smuons with masses below 82.3 GeV for mμ- - mχ01 > 3 GeV and right-handed staus with masses below 81.0 GeV for mτ- -mχ01 > 8 GeV. Right-handed selectrons are excluded at 95% CL for masses below 87.1 GeV for mẽ - mχ01 > 5 GeV, within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model assuming μ, < - 100 GeV and tan β= 1.5. Charged Higgs bosons, H±, are excluded at 95% CL for masses below 82.8 GeV, assuming a 100% branching ratio for the decay H± → τ ± vτ.

Abstract: The correlated production of $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ baryons has been studied using 4.3 million multihadronic ${\rm Z}^0$ decays recorded with the Opal detector at Lep. Lambda pairs were investigated in the full data sample and for the first time also in 2-jet and 3-jet events selected with the $k_\perp$ algorithm. The distributions of rapidity differences from correlated $\Lambda\bar\Lambda$ pairs exhibit short-range, local correlations and prove to be a sensitive tool to test models, particularly for 2-jet events. The Jetset model describes the data best but some extra parameter tuning is needed to improve agreement with the experimental results in the rates and the rapidity spectra simultaneously. The recently developed modification of Jetset, the MOdified Popcorn Scenarium (Mops), and also Herwig do not give satisfactory results. This study of di-lambda production in 2- and 3-jet events supports the short-range compensation of quantum numbers.

Abstract: A sample of ${\rm Z}^0$ decays containing b-flavoured hadrons is tagged using leptons, and events having precise proper time measurements are selected. These events are used to study ${\rm B}^0_{\rm s}$ oscillations. The flavour (b or $\rm \bar{b}$) at decay is determined from the lepton charge while the flavour at production is determined from jet charge or the charge of a second lepton, where available. The experiment was not able to resolve the oscillatory behaviour, and we deduce that the ${\rm B}^0_{\rm s}$ oscillation frequency $\Delta m_{\rm s} > 5.2$ ps$^{-1}$ at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract: Fragmentation functions for charged particles in ${\rm Z}^0 \rightarrow {\rm q}\bar{\rm q}$ events have been measured for bottom (b), charm (c) and light (uds) quarks as well as for all flavours together. The results are based on data recorded between 1990 and 1995 using the OPAL detector at LEP. Event samples with different flavour compositions were formed using reconstructed ${\rm D}^{*\pm}$ mesons and secondary vertices. The $\xi_{\rm p} =\ln(1/x_{\rm p})$ distributions and the position of their maxima $\xi_0$ are also presented separately for uds, c and b quark events. The fragmentation function for b quarks is significantly softer than for uds quarks.

Abstract: The branching ratio for the decay τ − → e − ν e ν τ has been measured using Z 0 decay data collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP. In total 33 073 τ − → e − ν e ν τ candidates were identified from a sample of 186 197 selected τ decays, giving a branching ratio of B (τ − → e − ν e ν τ )=(17.81±0.09 (stat) ±0.06 (syst) )% . This result is combined with other measurements to test e - μ and μ - τ universality in charged-current weak interactions. Additionally, the strong coupling constant α s ( m τ 2 ) has been extracted from B (τ − → e − ν e ν τ ) and evolved to the Z 0 mass scale, giving α s ( m Z 2 )=0.1204±0.0011 (exp)±0.0019 (theory).

Abstract: An investigation of CP violation was performed using a total of 24 candidates for B0→J/ψK0SB0→J/ψKS0 decay, with a purity of about 60%. These events were selected from 4.4 million hadronic Z0Z0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. An analysis procedure, involving techniques to reconstruct the proper decay times and tag the produced b-flavours, B0B0 or B¯0B¯0 , has been developed to allow a first direct study of the time dependent CP asymmetry that, in the Standard Model, is sin2βsin⁡2β . The result is where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. This result is used to determine probabilities for different values of sin2βsin⁡2β in the physical region from −1−1 to +1.

Abstract: In e+e2212 collisions at centre-of-mass energies around 91 GeV, D*0 mesons have been reconstructed using data collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The hadronisation fraction has been measured to be f(c→D*0)=0.218±0.054±0.045±0.007, where the errors correspond to the statistical and systematic errors specific to this analysis, and to systematic uncertainties from externally measured branching fractions, respectively. Together with previous OPAL measurements of the hadronisation fractions of other charmed mesons, this value is used to investigate the relative production of observed vector and pseudoscalar charmed mesons in $Z^0 \to c\bar c$ decays. The production ratio is determined to be PeffV = V/(V+P)=0.57±0.05. The relative primary production of vector and pseudoscalar mesons, Pvrim, is studied in the context of the production and decay of orbitally excited charmed resonances. The first measurement of the inclusive Ds*+ production rate in hadronic Z0 decays is presented.

Abstract: Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed in $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130, 136, 161 and 172 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Results are presented based on search topologies designed to select events with a single photon and missing transverse energy or events with a pair of acoplanar photons. In both search topologies, cross-section measurements are performed within the kinematic acceptance of the selection. These results are compared with the expectations from the Standard Model processes ${\rm e^+e^-}\to \nu\overline\nu \gamma (\gamma )$ (single-photon) and ${\rm e^+e^-}\to \nu\overline\nu \gamma \gamma (\gamma )$ (acoplanar-photons). No evidence is observed for new physics contributions to these final states. Upper limits on $\sigma({\rm e^+e^- \to XY)\cdot BR(X\to Y\gamma })$ and $\sigma({\rm e^+e^- \to XX)\cdot BR^2(X\to Y\gamma })$ are derived for the case of stable and invisible Y. These limits apply to single and pair production of excited neutrinos (${\rm X}= \nu^*,{\rm Y}= \nu$), to neutralino production (${\rm X}=\tilde\chi^0_2, {\rm Y}=\tilde\chi^0_1$), and to supersymmetric models in which ${\rm X}= \tilde\chi^0_1$ and ${\rm Y}=\tilde{\rm G}$ is a light gravitino. For the latter scenario, the results of the acoplanar-photons search are used to provide mode l-dependent lower limits on the mass of the lightest neutralino.

Abstract: Results are presented on the production of excited charm and excited charm-strange mesons in hadronic Z(0) decays. The results are obtained from approximately 4.3 million hadronic Z(0) decays, collected on or near the Z(0) resonance using the OPAL detector at LEP. The D-1(0)(2420) and D*(0)(2)(2460) mesons are reconstructed in the D*(+)pi(-) final state and their separate production rates in charm fragmentation and in weak decays of b-hadrons are determined. Assuming that the decay widths of these mesons are saturated by the allowed D*pi and D pi final states, the charm hadronization fractions and the inclusive branching ratios of b-hadrons to these neutral P-wave charm mesons are determined to bef(c --> D-1(0)) = 0.021 +/- 0.007(stat) +/- 0.003(syst), f(c --> D*(0)(2)) = 0.052 +/- 0.022(stat)+/- 0.013(syst), f(b --> D-1(0)) = 0.050 +/- 0.014(stat) +/- 0.006(syst), f(b --> D*(0)(2)) = 0.047 +/- 0.024(stat) +/- 0.013(syst).We also present the first observation at LEP of the D-s1(+)(2536) meson which is reconstructed in both the D*K-+(s)0 and D*K-0(+) final states After correcting for the expected contribution from bb events, assuming that the D*K channels saturate the available final states, these results are used to derive the charm hadronization fraction f(c --> D-s1(+)):f(c --> D-s1(+)) = 0.016 +/- 0.004(stat) +/- 0.003(syst).

Abstract: Measurements of helicity density matrix elements have been made for the φ(1020), D*± and B* vector mesons in multihadronic Z0 decays in the OPAL experiment at LEP. Results for inclusive φ produced with high energy show evidence for production preferentially in the helicity zero state, with ρ00 = 0.54 ± 0.08, compared to the value of 1/3 expected for no spin alignment. The corresponding element for the D*± has a value of 0.40 ± 0.02, also suggesting a deviation from 1/3. The B* result, with ρ00 = 0.36 ± 0.09, is consistent with no spin alignment. Off-diagonal elements have been measured for the f and D* mesons; for the D* the element Re ρ1−1 is non-zero, indicating non-independent fragmentation of the primary quarks.

Abstract: We report a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vcb|. From approximately 4.2 million hadronic Z0 decays recorded with the OPAL deteector, a sample is selected containing 1251 ± 125 B 0 → D ∗+ l − ν l candidates, where l is either an electron or a muon. Using Heavy Quark Effective Theory calculations for the decay form factor at zero recoil of the D∗+ meson in the B 0 rest frame, we derive |Vcb| = [36.0 ± 2.1 (stat) ± 2.4 (syst) ± 1.2 (theory)] × 10−3.

Abstract: This letter describes a measurement of one of the anomalous triple gauge boson couplings using the first data recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP2. A total of 28 W-pair candidates have been selected for an integrated luminosity of 9.89+/-0.06 pb(-1) recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 161 GeV. We use these data to place constraints upon the coupling parameter alpha(W phi). We analyse the predicted variation of the total cross-section for all observed channels and the distribution of kinematic variables in the semileptonic decay channels. We measure alpha(W phi) to be -0.61(-0.61)(+0.73)+/-0.35, which is consistent with the Standard Model expectation of zero. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: This letter describes a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson using data from e + e − collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 161 GeV by the OPAL detector at LEP. The ata correspond to an integrated luminosity of 10.0 pb −1 . The search is sensitive to the main final states from the process where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a fermion anti-fermion pair, namely four jets, two jets with missing energy, and two jets produced together with a pair of electrons, muons or tau leptons. Two candidate events are observed, in agreement with Standard Model background expectations. In combination with previous OPAL searches at centre-of-mass energies close to the Z 0 resonance, we derive a lower limit of 65.0 GeV for the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson, at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract: Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed with the OPAL detector at LEP using two search topologies. The first topology looks for events with significant missing energy and at least one photon in |cosθ| 0.2. The second topology looks for events with an acoplanar photon pair where both photons are in |cosθ| < 0.7 and have energy exceeding 1.75 GeV. In the data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 10.0 pb−1, 11 events are selected for the first topology and a cross-section of 1.6 ± 0.5 pb is measured within the kinematic acceptance, consistent with that expected for the Standard Model process e+e− → ννγ(γ). No events are selected for the second topology giving a 95% CL cross-section upper limit of 0.41 pb within the kinematic acceptance. Upper limits on the cross-section times branching ratio for new particle production are also derived.

Abstract: This letter describes the first observation of W boson pair production at a centre-of-mass energy s =161 GeV in the OPAL detector at LEP. The analysis is sensitive to all expected W + W − decay channels. A total of 28 events have been selected for an integrated luminosity of 9.89±0.06 pb −1 . This is consistent with the Standard Model expectation, including signal and background contributions. The W pair production cross-section is measured to be σ WW = 3.62 −0.82 +0.93 ±0.16 pb. An analysis of the predicted M W dependence of the accepted cross-section, taking into account interference in the four-fermion production processes, yields M W = 80.40 −0.41−0.10 +0.44+0.09 ±0.10 GeV, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, and the third arises form the beam energy uncertainty.

Abstract: Gluon jets with about 39 GeV energy are identified in hadronic Z 0 decays by tagging two jets in the same hemisphere of an event as quark jets. Identifying the gluon jet to be all the particles observed in the hemisphere opposite to that containing the two tagged jets yields an inclusive gluon jet definition corresponding to that used in analytic calculations, allowing the first direct test of those calculations. In particular, this jet definition yields results which are only weakly dependent on a jet finding algorithm. We find r ch. =1.552±0.0041 ( stat ) ±0.061 ( syst. ) for the ratio of the mean charged particle multiplicity in gluon jets to that in light quark uds jets, where the uds jets are identified using an inclusive jet definition similar to that used for the gluon jets. Our result is in general agreement with the prediction of a recent analytic calculation which incorporates energy conservation into the parton shower branching processes, but is considerably smaller than analytic predictions which do not incorporate energy conservation.

Abstract: The branching ratio of the radiative τ decay τ − → μ − ν μ ν τ γ has been measured using data collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The result is B(τ − → μ − ν μ ν τ γ) = (3.0 ± 0.4 ± 0.5) × 10 −3 for photon energies above 20 MeV measured in the τ rest frame. The result is in good agreement with the Standard Model expectation.

Abstract: The differential cross-sections for e + e − → e + e − , e + e − → μ + μ − and e + e − → τ + τ − , and the total cross-section for e + e − → qq at centre-of-mass energies of 130–140 GeV were studied using about 5 pb −1 of data collected with the OPAL detector at LEP in October and November 1995. The results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions. Four-fermion contact interaction models were fitted to the data and lower limits were obtained on the energy scale Λ at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract: Evidence is presented for the production of prompt J/psi mesons (not originating in b-hadron decays) in hadronic Z(0) decays. Using a sample of 3.6 million hadronic events, 24 prompt J/psi candidates are identified from their decays into e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-)pairs. The background is estimated to be 10.2+/-2.0 events. The following branching ratio for prompt J/psi production is obtained: Br(Z(0)-->prompt J/psi+X)=(1.9+/-0.7+/-0.5+/-0.5). 10(-4), where the first error is statistical, the second systematic and the third error accounts for uncertainties in the prompt J/psi production mechanism.

Abstract: A search for charginos and neutralinos, predicted by supersymmetric theories, has been performed using a data sample of 2.6 pb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of S=130 GeV and 2.6 pb−1 at 136 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP during November 1995. No candidate events were observed. The 95% C.L. lower limit on the lightest chargino mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is 65.4 GeV if the universal scalar mass m0 is greater than 1 TeV, and 58.7 GeV for the smallest m0 compatible with slepton and sneutrino mass limits obtained at centre-of-mass energies near the Z peak. These limits were obtained under the conditions that the lightest chargino is heavier than the lightest neutralino by more than 10 GeV and tan β is larger than 1.5. The results of a model independent search for charginos and neutralinos are also given.

Abstract: A search for scalar particles and neutralinos such as those predicted by supersymmetric models has been performed using a data sample of 4.4 million hadronic Z 0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at the e + e − collider LEP. The production of such particles typically leads to event topologies consisting of an acoplanar pair of jets, or of a mono-jet, accompanied by sizeable missing energy owing to neutrinos and other undetectable neutral particles. Limits are obtained, at the 95% confidence level, on the masses and production rates of scalar particles produced in association with the Z 0 . Limits are also placed on neutralino production, for which an additional possible signature is also studied, events containing a single observed photon. Within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the mass of the lightest neutralino is found to be larger than 12.5 GeV/ c 2 at 95% C.L., provided that tan β is larger than 1.5.

Abstract: The production of J/psi mesons in Z(0) decays is studied using 3.6 million hadronic events recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. The inclusive Z(0) to J/psi and b-quark to J/psi branching ratios are measured from the total yield of J/psi mesons, identified from their decays into lepton pairs. The J/psi momentum distribution is used to study the fragmentation of b-quarks. The production rate of psi' mesons, identified from their decays into a J/psi and a pi(+)pi(-) pair, is measured as well. The following results are obtained:Br(Z(0)-->J/psi X) = (3.9 +/- 0.2 +/- 0.3). 10(-3) and Br(Z(0)-->psi' X) = (1.6 +/- 0.3 +/- 0.2). 10(-3),where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. Finally the J/psi sample is used to reconstruct exclusive b-hadron decays and calculate the corresponding b-hadron branching ratios and masses.

Abstract: A search for the hadronic decay of a hypothetical resonance S0 in the process e+e−→γ + hadrons at Z0 energies is reported. Particular care is taken to optimise the sensitivity to a scalar resonance decaying into bottom quarks, as expected for Higgs production, e+e−→Z0→H0γ with$H^0 \to b\bar b$, in the Standard Model or some of its extensions. No evidence for such a resonance is observed in a sample of about 5 million produced Z0’s. The results are interpreted in terms of models of non-standard Higgs production. An update of a search for a resonance produced in association with hadrons and the subsequent resonance decay into two photons is also presented.

Abstract: The branching ratio of the τ− → e−νeντ decay mode has been measured with the OPAL detector to be (17.78 ± 0.10 ±0.09)% where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The branching ratio, together with other measurements, has been used to test e — μ and μ — τ universality in the charged current weak interaction.

Abstract: The branching ratios of the τ−→h − h + h − v τ and τ−→h − h + h −≥1π0 v τ decays, whereh is either a charged π orK meson, are measured using a data sample of 87861 τ+τ− pairs collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The two branching ratios are extracted simultaneously from a sample of three charged particle decays and found to be: $$\begin{gathered} B(\tau ^ - \to h^ - h^ + h^ - \nu _\tau ) = (9.87 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.24)\% \hfill \\ B(\tau ^ - \to h^ - h^ + h^ - \geqslant 1\pi ^0 \nu _\tau ) = (5.09 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.23)\% \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The branching ratio of the τ lepton into three charged particles is measured to be: $$B(\tau ^ - \to 3 - prong) = (14.96 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.22)\%$$

Abstract: A study of b quark fragmentation at LEP is presented using a sample of semileptonic B decays containing a fully reconstructed charm meson. The data are compared to several theoretical models for heavy quark fragmentation; the free parameters in these models are fitted and the sensitivity of the model parameters to the rate of P-wave B meson production is studied. The mean scaled energy fraction of B 0 and B + mesons has been determined to be x E > = 0.695 ± 0.006 ± 0.003 ± 0.007, where the errors are statistical, systematic and model dependence respectively. This result is consistent with previous, less direct measurements from inclusive leptonic B decays. Also presented is a model independent fit to the shape of the energy distribution of weakly decaying B mesons at LEP.

Abstract: 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 $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{\left\langle {n^{ch.} } \right\rangle gluon}}{{\left\langle {n^{ch.} } \right\rangle b quark}} = 1.089 \pm 0.024(stat.) \pm 0.024(syst.) \hfill \\ \frac{{\left\langle {n^{ch.} } \right\rangle gluon}}{{\left\langle {n^{ch.} } \right\rangle uds quark}} = 1.390 \pm 0.038(stat.) \pm 0.032(syst.) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ 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.

Abstract: The production of Δ++ baryons has been measured using 3.5 million hadronic Z0 decays collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The production rate and fragmentation function are presented. A total of 0.22 ± 0.04 ± 0.04 Δ ++ + ( Δ ) −− per hadronic Z0 decay is observed. The fragmentation function is found to be softer than that predicted by the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo event generators. With this measurement of Δ++ production, at least one baryon of each strangeness level in the lightest baryon decuplet has now been measured at LEP.

Abstract: We have measured the multiplicity of charm quark pairs arising from gluon splitting in a sample of about 3.5 million hadronic Z0 decays. By selecting a 3-jet event topology and tagging charmed hadrons in the lowest energy jet using leptons, we established a signature of heavy quark pair production from gluons. The average number of gluons splitting into a c c pair per hadronic event was measured to be n g→c c =(2.27±0.28±0.41) × 10 −2 .

Abstract: The lifetime of the Λ b 0 baryon has been measured using 3.6 million hadronic Z 0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP from 1990 to 1994. A sample of Λ b 0 decays is obtained using partially reconstructed semileptonic decays involving Λ c + l − combinations, where the Λ c + is reconstructed from its decay to a pK − π + final state. From the 69 ± 13 Λ c + l − combinations attributed to Λ b 0 decays in this data sample, we measure τ ( Λ b 0 ) = 1.14 −0.19 +0.22 ± 0.07 ps, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Abstract: A search for direct production of new leptons in the mass range from 10 GeV up to 225 GeV is presented by the H1 experiment at HERA. The data were obtained during 1993 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 528 nb −1 . The search includes heavy lepton decays to final states e ( ν ) γ and e ( ν ) W , e ( ν ) Z with the subsequent decay of the W and Z bosons into jets or lepton pairs. No evidence was found for the production of new massive electrons or neutrinos in any of the decay channels. Rejection limits for excited electrons and neutrinos are derived.

Abstract: We have measured theR value in non-resonante+e− annihilation using the ARGUS detector at the storage ring DORIS II. At a centre-of-mass energy$\sqrt s = 9.36$ GeV the ratio of the hadronic cross-section to the μ-pair cross section in lowest order QED has been determined to beR=3.46±0.03±0.13. In addition, we have measured the charged-particle multiplicities in non-resonant hadron production at$\sqrt s = 10.47$ GeV just below theB$\bar B$ threshold and in ϒ (4S) resonance decays. For the average charged-particle multiplicities in continuum events and ϒ(4S)→B$\bar B$ decays we obtain cont=8.35±0.02±0.20 and ϒ(4s)=10.81±0.05±0.23.

Abstract: The process e+e−→γγ(γ) is studied using data recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The data sample taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 178 pb−1. The measured cross-section agrees well with the expectation from QED. A fit to the angular distribution is used to obtain improved limits at 95% CL on the QED cut-off parameters: Λ+> 304 GeV and Λ−> 295 GeV as well as a mass limit for an excited electron, Me* > 306 GeV assuming equal e*ey and eeγ couplings. Graviton exchange in the context of theories with higher dimensions is excluded for scales G+< 660 GeV and G−< 634 GeV. No evidence for resonance production is found in the invariant mass spectrum of photon pairs. Limits are obtained for the cross-section times branching ratio for a resonance decaying into two photons and produced in association with another photon.

Abstract: A search for charginos and neutralinos, predicted by supersymmetric theories, is performed using a data sample of 182.1 pb-1 taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP. No evidence for chargino or neutralino production is found. Upper limits on chargino and neutralino pair production (X1+X1-, X10X20) cross-sections are obtained as a function of the chargino mass (mX1±), the lightest neutralino mass (mX10) and the second lightest neutralino mass (mX20). Within the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model framework, and for mX1± - mX10 ≥ 5 GeV, the 95% confidence level lower limits on mX1± are 93.6 GeV for tan β = 1.5 and 94.1 GeV for tan β = 35. These limits are obtained assuming a universal scalar mass m0 ≥ 500 GeV. The corresponding limits for all m0 are 78.0 and 71.7 GeV. The 95% confidence level lower limits on the lightest neutralino mass, valid for any value of tan β are 32.8 GeV for m0 ≥ 500 GeV and 31.6 GeV for all m0.

The decay channels are assumed to be H^+ -> qq'(bar) and H^+ -> \tau^+ \nu_{\tau}. No evidence for charged Higgs boson production is observed. The lower limit for its mass is determined to be 52 GeV at 95% confidence level, independent of the H^+ -> \tau^+ \nu_{\tau} branching ratio., Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX, uses a4p.sty, 3 eps figures included, submitted to Phys.

Abstract: The inclusive production rates and differential cross-sections of photons and mesons with a final state containing photons have been measured with the OPAL detector at LEP. The light mesons covered by the measurements are the \pi^0, multiplicities per hadronic Z^0 decay, extrapolated to the full energy range, are: = 20.97 +/- 0.02 +/- 1.15, = 9.55 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.75, = 0.97 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.11, = 2.40 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.43, = 1.04 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.14, = 0.14 +/- 0.01 +/- 0.02, = 0.27 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.10. where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. In general, the results are in agreement with the predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo models. The inclusive production rates and differential cross-sections of photons and mesons with a final state containing photons have been measured with the OPAL detector at LEP. The light mesons covered by the measurements are the \pi^0, \eta, \rho(770)+-, \omega(782), \eta'(958) and a_0(980)+-.

The particle multiplicities per hadronic Z^0 decay, extrapolated to the full energy range, are: = 20.97 +/- 0.02 +/- 1.15, = 9.55 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.75, = 0.97 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.11, = 2.40 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.43, = 1.04 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.14, = 0.14 +/- 0.01 +/- 0.02, = 0.27 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.10. where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. In general, the results are in agreement with the predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo models.

Abstract: Gluon jets are identified in e+e- hadronic annihilation events by tagging two quark jets in the same hemisphere of an event. The gluon jet is defined inclusively as all the particles in the opposite hemisphere. Gluon jets defined in this manner have a close correspondence to gluon jets as they are defined for analytic calculations, and are almost independent of a jet finding algorithm. The charged particle multiplicity distribution of the gluon jets is presented, and is analyzed for its mean, dispersion, skew, and curtosis values, and for its factorial and cumulant moments. The results are compared to the analogous results found for a sample of light quark (uds) jets, also defined inclusively. We observe differences between the mean, skew and curtosis values of gluon and quark jets, but not between their dispersions. The cumulant moment results are compared to the predictions of QCD analytic calculations. A calculation which includes next-to-next-to-leading order corrections and energy conservation is observed to provide a much improved description of the data compared to a next-to-leading order calculation without energy conservation. There is agreement between the data and calculations for the ratios of the cumulant moments between gluon and quark jets., 32 pages, LaTeX, uses a4p.sty, 9 eps figures included (plus in colour), submitted to Zeit.

Abstract: Bose-Einstein correlations between like charged track pairs have been studied using a sample of approximately 3.6 million multihadronic Z0 decays collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The radius of the emitting sourceR and the chaoticity parameterλ were studied using two parametrisations, the Goldhaber (G) parametrisation and the one-dimensional Kopylov-Podgoretskii (KP) parametrisation. The radiiR G andR KP are found to increase linearly with the average observed charged multiplicityn ch , with changes with respect to a unit increase inn ch of $$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{{\langle R_G \rangle }}\frac{{\Delta R_G }}{{\Delta n_{ch} }} = (3.6 \pm 0.6) \cdot 10^{ - 3} and \hfill \\ \frac{1}{{\langle R_{KP} \rangle }}\frac{{\Delta R_{KP} }}{{\Delta n_{ch} }} = (3.4 \pm 1.0) \cdot 10^{ - 3} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where the 〈R〉 are the radius values measured in the inclusive event sample. The chaoticity parametersλ G andλ KP decrease with increasing charged multiplicity. It is shown that the increase ofR with multiplicity may be connected with differences between two- and three-jet events.

Abstract: The production of the $J^{P}={1⩈er 2}^{+}$ octet baryons Λ and Ξ−, the $J^{P}={3⩈er 2}^{+}$ decuplet baryons Σ(1385)±Ξ(1530)0, and Ω−, and the $J^{P}={3⩈er 2}^{-}$ orbitally excited state Λ(1520) has been measured in a sample of approximately 3.65 million hadronic Z0 decays. The integrated rates and the differential cross-sections as a function of xE, the scaled energy, are determined. The differential cross-sections of the Λ and Ξ− baryons are found to be softer than those predicted by both the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo generators. The measured baryon yields are found to disagree with the simple diquark picture where only one tuning parameter for spin 1 diquarks is allowed. The yields are further compared with a thermodynamic model of hadron production which includes the production of orbitally excited mesons and baryons. The momentum spectra of Λ, Ξ−, Σ(1385)±Ξ(1530)0, and Λ(1520) are also compared to the predictions of an analytical QCD formula.

Abstract: The production rates of the $J_{P}={1⩈er 2}^{+}$ octet Σ baryons in hadronic Z0 decays have been measured using the OPAL detector at LEP. The inclusive production rates per hadronic Z0 decay of the three isospin states (including the respective antiparticle) have been separately measured for the first time: $άtrix {n_{Sigma^{+}}=0.099pm 0.008pm 0.013ŗ n_{Sigma^{0}}=0.071pm 0.012pm 0.013ŗ n_{Sigma^{-}}=0.083pm 0.006pm 0.009ŗ}$ where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. Differential cross-sections are also presented for the Σ+ and Σ− and compared with JETSET and HERWIG predictions. Assuming full isospin symmetry, the average inclusive rate is: ${1⩈er 3}[n_{Sigma^{+}+Sigma^{0}+Sigma^{-}}]=0.084pm 0.005 ({⤪ stat.}) pm 0.008 ({⤪ syst.})$.

Abstract: Searches for unstable neutral and charged heavy leptons (L0, L±) have been performed using a data sample of 2.6 pb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of s =130 GeV and 2.6 pb−1 at 136 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP during November 1995. No candidate event was observed. If an unstable Dirac neutral heavy lepton L0 decays only into eW∗, μW∗ or τW∗, the lower limits on its mass at 95% C.L. are 62.5 GeV, 63.0 GeV and 57.4 GeV, respectively. The limits are modified for a Majorana L0 to 51.4 GeV, 52.2 GeV and 44.2 GeV, respectively. For charged heavy leptons, a lower mass limit of 64.5 GeV at 95% C.L. was obtained, if L± decays into a stable heavy neutrino ν l and W∗±, and m l± − mν l > 10 GeV. If L± decays through lepton flavour mixing into a massless neutrino νl and W∗±, the lower limit on m l± was determined to be 63.9 GeV at 95% C.L.

Abstract: Data collected with the OPAL detector during 1990–1994 are used to measure the time dependence of$B_d^0 \leftrightarrow \bar B_d^0 $ mixing. A sample of 348 D*± candidates with a lepton in the opposite hemisphere are reconstructed, of which 167±25 are expected to be from B d 0 decays. The B d 0 oscillation frequency is measured to be $$\Delta m_d = 0.567 \pm 0.089(stat)_{ - 0.023}^{ + 0.029} (syst) ps^{ - 1} .$$ . A previously published analysis ofΔm d using D*± and lepton candidates in the same hemisphere and jet charge is also updated with a larger data sample. From 1200 D*±l∓ candidates, of which 778±84 are expected to be from B d 0 decays, we find a value of: $$\Delta m_d = 0.539 \pm 0.060(stat) \pm 0.024(syst) ps^{ - 1} .$$ . The combined result of these two analyses is $$\Delta m_d = 0.548 \pm 0.050(stat)_{ - 0.019}^{ + 0.023} (syst) ps^{ - 1} .$$ .

Abstract: Cross-sections and angular distributions for the production of events with single and multiple photons are measured from data recorded with the OPAL detector at the recently upgraded LEP collider. The measured cross-sections are generally consistent with Standard Model expectations for the e + e − → ν v γ(γ) and e+e− → γγ(γ) processes. Six events with an acoplanar photon pair and large missing mass are found. The observed number of events is larger than expected from e + e − → ν ν γγ ; however, the missing mass distribution is compatible with the Z0 resonance. Deviations from QED are constrained by the data on e+e− → γγ(γ). Lower limits are set at 95% confidence level on the QED cut-off parameters Λ+ and Λ− of 152 GeV and 142 GeV, respectively, and also on the mass of an excited electron of 147 GeV.

Abstract: Production of events with multihadronic and leptonic final states has been measured in e + e − collisions at centre-of-mass energies significantly above the Z 0 mass, using the OPAL detector at LEP. A substantial production rate of radiative Z 0 γ events was observed, as expected, together with events with less energetic initial-state photons. The cross-sections and leptonic forward-backward asymmetries were measured and compared with Standard Model expectations. In a model-independent fit to the Z 0 lineshape, the hadronic cross-section and lepton asymmetries presented here provide constraints on the size of the γZ 0 -interference term which are complementary to those afforded by LEP data accumulated at the Z 0 resonance.
