Abstract: ABSTRACTHerbicides mixtures are used in many situations without the adequate knowledge related with the effect on major target weeds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different herbicides mixtures used in irrigated rice in order to establish the adequate combinations for the prevention and management of herbicide resistance in barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli). Three experiments were performed at field conditions with all major post-emergent herbicides used in irrigated rice in Brazil. The first experiment was performed with barnyardgrass resistant to imidazolinone herbicides and herbicides applied at label rates. The second and third experiments were performed with barnyardgrass resistant and susceptible to imidazolinone herbicides applied at doses of 50 or 75% of the label rates. The occurrence of additive, synergistic and antagonistic effects was identified at 18, 18 and 64%, respectively, among the total of 50 different associations of herbicide and rates evaluated. In general, the mixture of ACCase inhibitors with ALS inhibitors, quinclorac, clomazone + propanil or thiobencarb resulted in antagonism. Sinergic mixtures were found in clomazone with propanil + thiobencarb, profoxydim with cyhalofop-butyl or clomazone, and quinclorac with imazapyr + imazapic, bispyribac-sodium or cyhalofop-butyl. The mixtures of quinclorac with profoxydim were antagonic. Rice grain yield varied according to the efficiency of weed control. Seveveral mixtures were effective for imidazolinone resistant barnyardgrass control.

Abstract: Background Although movement variability and long-range correlations (LRCs) have been assessed in relation to neuropathology and aging during walking, to date only a few studies have investigated these aspects in subjects of different skill levels during prolonged overground running. Research question What effect does skill level and run duration have on different stride parameters, measures of variability and long-range correlations? Methods Using a between-subject repeated measures design, we assessed stride mechanics, variability and LRCs in recreational and elite runners over the course of a continuous exhaustive run. All subjects ran at a fixed, pre-determined running speed relative to their maximal performance. Stride parameters were continually recorded using a single foot-mounted inertial measurement unit. It was hypothesized that a significant reduction in the strength of the LRCs would occur over the course of the run and that the observed changes would be more pronounced in the group of recreational runners. Results Runners maintained a consistent stride length (SL), stride time (ST) and contact time (CT) during the run, while peak impact acceleration increased. Across groups, long-range correlations significantly decreased over the course of the run, while the magnitude of the variability remained constant. LRCs did not differ significantly between groups. Significance This is the first study to simultaneously investigate the effects of prolonged running and skill level on a range of stride parameters as well as stride-to-stride variability. Generally, long-range correlations were shown to be sensitive to run duration, while the magnitude of the variability did not differ between earlier and later stages of the run. The lack of a group effect on LRCs supports the idea that the mechanisms responsible for the emergence of temporal patterns in the stride pattern are not influenced by skill level.

4. Aspiration von Aktivkohle: Organbefunde nach Fehllage einer Magensonde mit 18-tägiger Überlebenszeit

Author: S. Bohnert, S. Kircher, C. Markus, M. Bohnert, and U. Preiß
Subjects: Pathology and Forensic Medicine
Abstract: ZusammenfassungLaut Statistischem Bundesamt wurden 2016 in Deutschland 178.425 Vergiftungsfälle im Krankenhaus behandelt. Zu den klinischen Sofortmaßnahmen gehören Verfahren zur Verhinderung weiterer Giftresorption. Die Anwendung von Aktivkohle wird dabei als Dekontaminationsverfahren der ersten Wahl nach peroralen Vergiftungen angesehen. Ein 14 Jahre alt gewordenes Mädchen habe in fraglich suizidaler Absicht mehrere Tabletten Amitriptylin eingenommen. Im erstbehandelnden Krankenhaus sei ihr eine unbekannte Menge an Aktivkohle über eine Magensonde verabreicht worden. Aufgrund der Fehllage der Magensonde wurde die Aktivkohle jedoch endotracheal appliziert. Danach erfolgte die Verlegung an ein Krankenhaus der Maximalversorgung. Trotz intensivmedizinischer Therapie sei das Mädchen nach 18 Tagen an einem akutem Lungenversagen nach massiver Aspiration von Aktivkohle verstorben. Bei der gerichtlichen Obduktion und der anschließenden mikroskopischen Untersuchung fielen sowohl eine heterogene Verteilung der intraalveolär gelegenen, variabel dichten Ansammlungen der Aktivkohle in allen Lungenlappen als auch mehrzeitige, akute sowie chronische entzündliche Veränderungen im Lungenparenchym auf. Darüber hinaus konnte Aktivkohle innerhalb der Lebersinusoide sowie in den Tubuli des Nierenparenchyms nachgewiesen werden.

Abstract: Ein wichtiges Werkzeug zur praklinischen Bewaltigung eines Massenanfalls von Notfallpatienten ist der Einsatz eines Behandlungsplatzes (BHP). Unter bestimmten Umstanden ist der Aufbau am oder in der Nahe des Schadensortes jedoch nicht sinnvoll. Dies ist z. B. bei terroristischen Anschlagen der Fall. Fur die Krankenhauser ist das oberste Ziel bei einem Massenanfall von Patienten, die Behandlungskapazitat an den akut gestiegenen Bedarf anzupassen und die Funktionalitat des Krankenhauses zu erhalten. Durch den Aufbau eines BHP innerhalb eines Krankenhauses konnen diese Ziele moglicherweise erreicht werden. Ziele des vorgestellten Pilotprojekts waren die Erarbeitung und Einubung eines Konzepts zum Aufbau eines BHP innerhalb eines Klinikums der Maximalversorgung durch Einheiten des Katastrophenschutzes. Nach Bildung eines multiprofessionellen Expertengremiums wurden verschiedene Ortlichkeiten des Klinikums unter einsatztaktischen und raumlichen Gesichtspunkten evaluiert. Im Rahmen einer Anfahrts- und Aufbauubung wurden vordefinierte Fragestellungen im Hinblick auf Raumordnung, Fahrzeugkoordination, Kommunikation, Fuhrung und Patientenfluss durch Einsatzkrafte und Evaluatoren bewertet und Losungen konsentiert. Der Aufbau und Betrieb eines Behandlungsplatzes innerhalb des Klinikums waren problemlos moglich. Durch den konsequenten Einsatz von Einsatzabschnittsleitern gestalteten sich die Fahrzeugkoordination und der simulierte Patientenfluss reibungslos. Die Fuhrung des BHP durch eine Sanitatseinsatzleitung (organisatorischer Leiter und leitender Notarzt) in enger Abstimmung mit der Krankenhauseinsatzleitung hat sich als sinnvolles Konzept dargestellt. Die anfanglichen Kommunikationsprobleme zwischen Sanitatseinsatzleitung und Krankenhauseinsatzleitung konnten durch Austausch von schnurlosen Telefonen und die Errichtung eines Digitalfunk-Repeaters behoben werden. Bei „Ad-hoc-Lagen“ sind Konzepte zu favorisieren, welche auf den laufenden Betrieb des „Alltagsgeschafts“ setzen, der bedarfsgerecht sukzessiv personell und materiell erweitert wird. Bei Gefahren- oder Schadenslagen mit ausreichender Vorlaufzeit (>60 min) ist darauf zu achten, die Funktionalitat des Krankenhauses so wenig wie moglich zu beeintrachtigen. Der Einsatz eines Behandlungsplatzes innerhalb einer Klinik (BHPK) konnte ein mogliches Konzept hierfur sein. Weitere Ubungen sind notwendig, um BHPK unter realen Bedingungen mit Patientenstromen und Personaleinsatz weiterzuentwickeln.

Abstract: An important instrument for handling mass casualty incidents in preclinical settings is the use of an advanced medical post. In certain circumstances, however, the establishment of such an advanced medical post on or close to the incident site is impossible. Terrorist attacks are a prime example for this. The highest priority for hospitals during mass casualty incidents is to adjust the treatment capacity to the acute rise in demand and to sustain its functionality throughout the duration of the incident. By establishing an advanced medical post within hospitals during certain types of mass casualty incidents these aims could potentially be accomplished.The aims of this pilot study were to test the practicability of the establishment of an advanced medical post within a university hospital and to identify potential problems. The results provide the foundation of a generalized concept, which will then be integrated into the hospital emergency plans.After the formation of a multiprofessional expert committee, different areas within the hospital were evaluated based on spatial and tactical considerations. Predefined questions were assessed and harmonized with respect to organization, vehicle management, communication, leadership and patient transport through the means of a practice run.The establishment and operation of an advanced medical post within the hospital were easily possible. The consequent deployment of section leaders enabled the smooth coordination of transport and an unobstructed simulated patient flow. The management of the treatment area by a senior emergency physician and a senior emergency medical service officer in close cooperation with the operational hospital lead proved to be a useful concept. Technical problems with communication within the hospital were resolved by using wireless phones and the installation of a digital radio repeater.During acute scenarios with only short prior notice, the authors prefer concepts that supplement the normal hospital operation through additional staff and material. In circumstances with prior notice of more than 60 min an advanced intrahospital advanced medical post, staffed by civil protection units, could be a concept that enables the absorption of the first patient arrivals within the first hour of a mass casualty incident without disturbing the functionality of hospitals to any great extent. Further practice runs are, however, necessary to further develop and adjust this concept to real-life circumstances.

Abstract: To investigate the effects of creatine supplementation and drop-set resistance training in untrained aging adults. Participants were randomized to one of two groups: Creatine (CR: n=14, 7 females, 7 males; 58.0±3.0yrs, 0.1g/kg/day of creatine+0.1g/kg/day of maltodextrin) or Placebo (PLA: n=17, 7 females, 10 males; age: 57.6±5.0yrs, 0.2g/kg/day of maltodextrin) during 12weeks of drop-set resistance training (3days/week; 2 sets of leg press, chest press, hack squat and lat pull-down exercises performed to muscle fatigue at 80% baseline 1-repetition maximum [1-RM] immediately followed by repetitions to muscle fatigue at 30% baseline 1-RM).Prior to and following training and supplementation, assessments were made for body composition, muscle strength, muscle endurance, tasks of functionality, muscle protein catabolism and diet.Drop-set resistance training improved muscle mass, muscle strength, muscle endurance and tasks of functionality (p0.05). The addition of creatine to drop-set resistance training significantly increased body mass (p=0.002) and muscle mass (p=0.007) compared to placebo. Males on creatine increased muscle strength (lat pull-down only) to a greater extent than females on creatine (p=0.005). Creatine enabled males to resistance train at a greater capacity over time compared to males on placebo (p=0.049) and females on creatine (p=0.012). Males on creatine (p=0.019) and females on placebo (p=0.014) decreased 3-MH compared to females on creatine.The addition of creatine to drop-set resistance training augments the gains in muscle mass from resistance training alone. Creatine is more effective in untrained aging males compared to untrained aging females.

Abstract: Identification and immediate treatment of life-threatening conditions is fundamental in patients with multiple trauma. In this context, the S3 guidelines on polytrauma and the S1 guidelines on emergency anesthesia provide the scientific background on how to handle these situations.This case report deals with a seriously injured driver involved in a truck accident. The inaccessible patient showed a scalping injury of the facial skeleton with massive bleeding and partially blocked airway but with spontaneous breathing as well as centralized cardiovascular circulation conditions and an initial Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of 8. An attempt was made to stop the massive bleeding by using hemostyptic-coated dressings. In addition, the patient was intubated via video laryngoscopy and received a left and right thoracic drainage as well as two entry points for intraosseous infusion.In modern emergency medical services, treatment based on defined algorithms is recommended and also increasingly established in dealing with critical patients. The guideline-oriented emergency care of patients with polytrauma requires invasive measures, such as intubation and thoracic decompression in the preclinical setting. The foundation for this procedure includes training in theory and practice both of the non-medical and medical rescue service personnel.

Abstract: Auch im Rahmen der Leitlinien des European Resuscitation Council (ERC) ergeben sich gemas unterschiedlichen Rahmenbedingungen Modifikationen der vorgeschlagenen Algorithmen. Hierbei gehen wesentliche fur den Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand mitverantwortliche Faktoren in die Therapieentscheidung ein. Die vorliegende Kasuistik thematisiert die Spezifikationen im Rahmen der Hypothermie. Der Patient wurde nach Beinahe-Ertrinken mit schwerer Hypothermie (ca. 30 min unter Wasser) initial ohne Spontankreislauf geborgen. Bei rasch erfolgendem Wiedereinsetzen eines spontanen Kreislaufs („return of spontaneous circulation“, ROSC) konnte er an Tag 15 im Anschluss an den Unfall ohne fokal-neurologische Defizite in die Rehabilitation entlassen werden. Die Sektion 8 des ERC hat Erganzungen zu den ERC-Leitlinien bei Reanimation unter besonderen Umstanden formuliert, die im vorliegenden Fall grose Relevanz hatten. Ein wichtiges Kriterium stellte hier die Hypothermie dar, die eine angepasste Pharmakotherapie notwendig machte. Weiterhin war die Wahl des Zielkrankenhauses aus rettungsdienstlicher Sicht masgeblich, um die Hypothermie und die sich daraus ergebenden Komplikationen adaquat mithilfe kontrollierter Wiedererwarmung therapieren zu konnen.

Abstract: In the context of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines, modifications of the proposed treatment algorithm need to be performed in order to respond to different parameters. In this respect several factors interacting with cardiac arrest are essential and need to be included in the therapy. This case report demonstrates an example of resuscitation in the situation of hypothermia.After a near drowning accident and approximately 30 min underwater, a patient suffering from severe hypothermia initially required resuscitation after the rescue. A return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was successfully achieved within a short length of time and after 15 days on the intensive care unit the patient was discharged to a rehabilitation facility without any signs of focal neurological deficits.Section 8 of the ERC guidelines provides additional information for resuscitation under specific conditions. In this case report, hypothermia was one of the main criteria leading to an adjusted pharmacological therapy. Furthermore, selection of the appropriate hospital for an optimal advanced treatment including controlled warming of the patient and management of hypothermia-induced complications had to be evaluated.

Abstract: Searches for a scalar top quark and a scalar bottom quark have been performed using a total data sample of 56.8 pb-1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. No candidate events were observed. Combining this result with those obtained at lower centre-of-mass energies, the 95% C.L. lower limit on the scalar top quark mass is 85.0 GeV if the mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left- and right-handed states of the top quark is zero. The lower limit is 81.3 GeV, even if the scalar top quark decouples from the Z boson. These limits were obtained assuming that the scalar top quark decays into a charm quark and the lightest neutralino, and that the mass difference between the scalar top quark and the lightest neutralino is larger than 10 GeV. Assuming a relatively light scalar neutrino, The complementary decay mode of the scalar top quark in which it decays into a bottom quark, a charged lepton and a scalar neutrino was also studied. From a similar analysis, a mass limit on the light scalar bottom quark was set at 82.7 GeV for a mass difference between the scalar bottom quark and the lightest neutralino larger than 7 GeV, and at 84.0 GeV for the mass difference larger 10 GeV and the lightest neutralino heavier than 30 GeV. These limits were obtained assuming that the scalar bottom quark decays into a bottom quark and the lightest neutralino, and that a mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left- and right-handed states of the bottom quark is zero.

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: Using radiative Z^0 -> \tau^+ \tau^- \gamma events collected with the OPAL detector at LEP at \sqrt{s}= M_Z during 1990-95, a direct study of the electromagnetic current at the \tau\gamma vertex has been performed in terms of the anomalous magnetic form factor F_2 of the \tau lepton. The analysis is based on a data sample of 1429 e^+ e^- -> \tau^+ \tau^- \gamma events which are examined for a deviation from the expectation with F_2 = 0. From the non-observation of anomalous \tau^+ \tau^- \gamma production a limit of -0.068 < F_2 < 0.065 is obtained. This can also be interpreted as a limit on the electric dipole form factor F_3 as -3.8 x 10^-16 e-cm < eF_3 < 3.6 x 10^-16 e-cm. The above ranges are valid at the 95% confidence level., Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, uses a4p.sty, 4 eps figures included, submitted to Phys. Lett. B

Abstract: Events with four distinct jets from e^+e^- collisions, collected by the OPAL detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 and 184 GeV, are analysed for a peak in the sum of dijet masses. This search is motivated by the ALEPH Collaboration's observation of a clear excess of events with dijet mass sums close to 105 GeV in data taken at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV in 1995. We have observed no significant excess of four-jet events compared to the Standard Model expectation for any dijet mass sum at any energy. Our observation is inconsistent with the excess observed by ALEPH in 1995. Upper limits are determined on the production cross-section as a function of the dijet mass sum., Comment: 24 pages, LaTeX, uses a4p.sty, 5 eps figures included, submitted to Physics Letters B

Abstract: Inclusive production of the ${\rm f_0}(980)$, ${\rm f}_2(1270)$ and $\phi(1020)$ resonances has been studied in a sample of 4.3 million hadronic ${\rm Z}^0$ decays from the OPAL experiment at LEP. A coupled channel analysis has been used for the ${\rm f}_0$ in simultaneous fits to the resonances in inclusive $\pi^+\pi^-$ and ${\rm K^+K^-}$ mass spectra. Fragmentation functions are reported for the three states. Total inclusive rates are measured to be $0.141 \pm 0.007 \pm 0.011$${\rm f}_0$, $0.155\pm0.011\pm0.018$${\rm f}_2$ and $0.091\pm0.002\pm0.003$$\phi$ mesons per hadronic ${\rm Z}^0$ decay. The production properties of the ${\rm f}_0$, including those in three-jet events, are compared with those of the ${\rm f}_2$ and $\phi$, and with the Lund string model of hadron production. All measurements are consistent with the hypothesis that the ${\rm f_0}(980)$ is a conventional ${\rm q\bar q}$ scalar meson.

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: This paper presents updated measurements of the lifetimes of the B^0_s meson and the \Lambda_b baryon using 4.4 million hadronic Z^0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP from 1990 to 1995. A sample of B^0_s decays is obtained using D_s^- \ell^+ combinations, where the D_s^- is fully reconstructed in the \phi \pi^-, K^*0 K^- and K^- K^0_S decay channels and partially reconstructed in the \phi \ell^- \nu(bar) X decay mode. A sample of \Lambda_b decays is obtained using \Lambda_c^+ \ell^- combinations, where the \Lambda_c^+ is fully reconstructed in its decay to a p K^- \pi^+ final state and partially reconstructed in the \Lambda \ell^+ \nu X decay channel. From 172 +/- 28 D_s^- \ell^+ combinations attributed to B^0_s decays, the measured lifetime is \tau(B^0_s) = 1.50 +0.16 -0.15 +/- 0.04 ps, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Abstract: A search for decays of the B_c meson was performed using data collected from 1990-1995 with the OPAL detector on or near the Z peak at LEP. The decay channels B_c^+ -> J/psi pi^+, B_c^+ -> J/psi a_1^+ and B_c^+ -> J/psi ell^+ nu were investigated, where ell denotes an electron or a muon. Two candidates are observed in the mode B_c^+ -> J/psi pi^+, with an estimated background of (0.63 +/- 0.20) events. The weighted mean of the masses of the two candidates is (6.32 +/- 0.06) GeV/c^2, which is consistent with the predicted mass of the B_c meson. One candidate event is observed in the mode B_c^+ -> J/psi ell^+ nu with an estimated background of (0.82 +/- 0.19) events. No candidate events are observed in the B_c^+ -> J/psi a_1^+ decay mode, with an estimated background of (1.10 +/- 0.22) events. Upper bounds at the 90% confidence level are set on the production rates for these processes., 18 pages, LaTeX, uses a4p.sty, 6 eps figures included, submitted to Phys. Lett. B

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: A search for pair-produced scalar electron, muon and tau leptons has been performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 10.1 pb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of s =161 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. Such events would yield an acoplanar pair of leptons with significant missing energy in the final state. No excess of acoplanar lepton pair events has been observed in the data. Limits are presented on the production cross-sections of charged scalar leptons. Exclusion regions are also presented in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. A 95% C.L. lower limit on the right-handed selectron mass of 71.5 GeV is obtained for tan β ≥ 1.5, |μ| ≥ 200 GeV and m χ 1 0 = 12.0 GeV . A 95% C.L. lower limit on the right-handed smuon mass of 51.0 GeV is obtained for m χ 1 0 = 12.0 GeV , independent of tan β and μ.

Abstract: The inclusive one- and two-jet production cross-sections are measured in collisions of quasi-real photons radiated from the LEP beams at e+e- centre-of-mass energies √see = 130 and 136 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Hard jets are reconstructed using a cone jet finding algorithm. The differential jet cross-sections dσ/dETjet are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. Transverse energy flows in jets are studied separately for direct and resolved two-photon events. © Springer-Verlag 1997.

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: A search for supersymmetric particles (charged scalar leptons, charginos decaying semileptonically, scalar top quarks) and for the associated production of two massive particles decaying into quarks has been performed using a data sample of more than 5 pb-1 at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 130 and 136 GeV collected with the OPAL detector at LEP during November 1995. No evidence for production of any of these particles has been observed in the data. Limits are presented on the production of charged scalar leptons, semileptonically decaying charginos, scalar top quarks and on the associated production of two massive particles leading to four-jet final states. © Springer-Verlag 1997.

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: Charginos and neutralinos, predicted by supersymmetric theories, have been searched for in e+e− collisions with an intergrated luminosity of 10.0 pb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 161 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP. Two candidate events are selected; consistent with the total background estimate of 0.7 ± 0.2 events. The 95% C.L. lower limit on the lightest chargino mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is 78.5 GeV if the universal scalar mass m0 is greater than 1 TeV, and 62.0 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 = 1.5. The new exclusion limits significantly improve on the results obtained at s = 130 and 136 GeV.

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: The spin composition of Λ Λ , ΛΛ and Λ Λ pairs at low invariant mass values has been measured for the first time in multihadronic Z0 decays with the OPAL detector at LEP. No single spin state has been observed in the Λ Λ sample, verifying that the low mass enhancement in this sample, attributed to local baryon number compensation, is not a resonance state. The fraction of the spin 1 contribution to the Λ Λ pairs was found to be consistent with the value 0.75, as expected from a statistical spin mixture. This may be the net effect of many different QCD processes which contribute to the hyperon anti-hyperon pair production. The spin composition of the identical ΛΛ and Λ Λ pairs, well above threshold, is found to be similar to that of the Λ Λ sample. A ΛΛ emitter dimension is estimated from the data assuming the onset of the Pauli exclusion principle near threshold.

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.
