Abstract: Abstract A search is made for charged Higgs bosons predicted by Two-Higgs-Doublet extensions of the Standard Model (2HDM) using electron-positron collision data collected by the OPAL experiment at $\sqrt{s}=189\mbox{--}209\ \mbox{GeV}$ , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 600 pb−1. Charged Higgs bosons are assumed to be pair-produced and to decay into $\mathrm{q} \bar{\mathrm{q}}$ , τν τ or AW±. No signal is observed. Model-independent limits on the charged Higgs-boson production cross section are derived by combining these results with previous searches at lower energies. Under the assumption $\mathrm{BR} (\mathrm{H}^{\pm} \to \tau\nu_{\tau}) + \mathrm{BR} (\mathrm{H}^{\pm} \to \mathrm{q} \bar{\mathrm{q}}) = 1$ , motivated by general 2HDM type II models, excluded areas on the $[m_{\mathrm{H}^{\pm}} , \mathrm{BR} (\mathrm {H}^{\pm} \to \tau\nu_{\tau})]$ plane are presented and charged Higgs bosons are excluded up to a mass of 76.3 GeV at 95 % confidence level, independent of the branching ratio BR(H±→τν τ). A scan of the 2HDM type I model parameter space is performed and limits on the Higgs-boson masses $m_{\mathrm{H}^{\pm}}$ and m A are presented for different choices of tanβ.

Abstract: A search is performed for Higgs bosons decaying into invisible final states, produced in association with a Z(0) boson in e(+)e(-) collisions at energies between 183 and 209 GeV. The search is based on data samples collected by the OPAL detector at LEP corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 660 pb(-1). The analysis aims to select events containing the hadronic decay products of the Z(0) boson and large missing momentum, as expected from Higgs boson decay into a pair of stable weakly interacting neutral particles, such as the lightest neutralino in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The same analysis is applied to a search for nearly invisible Higgs boson cascade decays into stable weakly interacting neutral particles. No excess over the expected background from Standard Model processes is observed. Limits on the production of invisibly decaying Higgs bosons produced in association with a Z(0) boson are derived. Assuming a branching ratio BR(h(0) -> invisible) = 1, a lower limit of 108.2 GeV is placed on the Higgs boson mass at the 95% confidence level. Limits on the production of nearly invisibly decaying Higgs bosons are also obtained. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: This Letter describes a direct search for pair produced magnetic monopoles in e(+)e(-) collisions. The analysis is based on 62.7 pb(-1) of data collected with the OPAL detector at an average centre-of-mass energy of root S = 206.3 GeV. The monopole signal was assumed to be characterized by two back-to-back particles with an anomalously high ionization energy loss dE/dx in the tracking chambers. No evidence for production of monopoles was observed. Upper limits were obtained on the magnetic monopole pair-production cross-section (sigma) in the mass range 45 GeV/c(2) < m(M) < 102 GeV/c(2). The average limit is sigma < 0.05 pb and is essentially independent of the magnetic monopole mass. The cross-section limit is derived at the 95% confidence level and is valid for spin-1/2 magnetic monopoles. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Inclusive jet production (e(+)e(-) -> e(+)e(-) + jet + X) is studied in collisions of quasi-real photons radiated by the LEP beams at e(+)e(-) centre-of-mass energies root s(ee) from 189 to 209 GeV. Jets are reconstructed using the k(perpendicular to) jet algorithm. The inclusive differential cross-section is measured as a function of the jet transverse momentum, p(T)(jet), in the range 5 < p(T)(jet) < 40 GeV for pseudo-rapidities, eta(jet), in the range - 1.5 < eta(jet) < 1.5. The results are compared to predictions of perturbative QCD in next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Despite the great success of the Standard Model, many key questions in particle physics and cosmology are unanswered today. Together with the Large Hadron Collider LHC, starting in 2007, the International Linear Collider ILC as the next project planned at the high energy frontier, will play a crucial role in tackling many of these most exciting questions. The high precision achievable with experiments at the ILC will be indispensable in order to reach definite conclusions about many features of new physics expected at the TeV scale. This contribution presents prominent physics examples and describes detector challenges and the project status.

Abstract: We report upon the performance of an analog hadron calorimeter prototype, where plastic scintillator tiles are read out with wavelength-shifting fibers coupled to avalanche photodiodes. This prototype configuration has been tested using a positron beam at DESY with energies between 1 and 6 GeV. We present different detector calibration methods, show measurements for noise, linearity, and energy resolution and discuss gain monitoring with an LED system. The results are in good agreement with our simulation studies and previous measurements using silicon photomultiplier readout.

Abstract: A search for gravitinos produced in e±p collisions is performed using the H1 detector at HERA. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 64.3 pb -1 for e+p collisions and 13.5 pb-1 for e -p collisions. If R-parity is not conserved, the t-channel exchange of a selectron can produce a neutralino, which, in models where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle, subsequently decays into a photon and a light gravitino. The resulting event signature, which involves an isolated photon, a jet and missing transverse energy, is analysed for the first time at HERA. No deviation from the Standard Model is found. Exclusion limits on the cross section and on R-parity-violating Yukawa couplings are derived in a Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking scenario. The results are independent of the squark sector. Neutralinos and supersymmetric partners of the left-handed electron with masses up to 112 GeV and 164 GeV, respectively, can be ruled out at the 95% confidence level for R-parity-violating couplings λ′ equal to 1, in some parts of the parameter space of the considered model. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Measurements are presented of inclusive charm and beauty cross sections in e$^+$p collisions at HERA for values of photon virtuality Q$^2$ > 150 GeV$^2$ and of inelasticity 0.1 < y < 0.7. The charm and beauty fractions are determined using a method based on the impact parameter, in the transverse plane, of tracks to the primary vertex, as measured by the H1 vertex detector. The data are divided into four regions in Q$^2$ and Bjorken x, and values for the structure functions $F_2^{c\overline{c}}$ and $F_2^{b\overline{b}}$ are obtained. The results are found to be compatible with the predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics.

Abstract: A new scalar resonance, called the radion, with couplings to fermions and bosons similar to those of the Higgs boson, is predicted in the framework of Randall-Sundrum models, proposed solutions to the hierarchy problem with one extra dimension. An important distinction between the radion and the Higgs boson is that the radion would couple directly to gluon pairs, and in particular its decay products would include a significant fraction of gluon jets. The radion had the same quantum numbers as the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, and therefore they can mix, with the resulting mass eigenstates having properties different from those of the SM Higgs boson. Existing searches for the Higgs boson are sensitive to the possible production and decay of radions and Higgs bosons in these models. For the first time, searches for the SM Higgs boson and flavour-independent and decay-mode independent searches for a neutral Higgs boson are used in combination to explore the parameter space of the Randall-Sundrum model. In the dataset recorded by the OPAL experiment at LEP, no evidence for radion or Higgs particle production was observed in any of those searches. The results are used to set limits on the radion and Higgs boson masses., Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to Phys. Lett. B

Abstract: Measurements of R b , the ratio of the b b ¯ cross-section to the q q ¯ cross-section in e + e − collisions, are presented. The data were collected by the OPAL experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 182 and 209 GeV. Lepton, lifetime and event-shape information is used to tag events containing b quarks with high efficiency. The data are compatible with the Standard Model expectation. The mean ratio of the eight measurements reported here to the Standard Model prediction is 1.055 ± 0.031 ± 0.037 , where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.

Abstract: We report on the design, construction and performance of a prototype for a high-granularity tile hadronic calorimeter for a future international linear collider detector. Scintillating tiles are read out via wavelength-shifting fibers that guide the scintillation light to a novel photodetector, the silicon photomultiplier. A prototype has been tested using a positron test beam at DESY. The results are compared with a reference prototype calorimeter equipped with multichannel vacuum photomultipliers. Detector calibration, noise, linearity and stability are discussed, and the energy response in a 1–6 GeV positron beam is compared with simulations. The present results demonstrate that the silicon photomultiplier is well-suited as photodetectors in calorimeters and thus has been selected for the construction of a 1 m 3 calorimeter prototype to operate in hadron beams.

Abstract: We present a determination of the LEP beam energy using "radiative return" fermion-pair events recorded at centre-of-mass energies from 183 GeV to 209 GeV. We find no evidence of a disagreement between the OPAL data and the LEP Energy Workings Group's standard calibration. Including the energy- averaged 11 MeV uncertainty in the standard determination, the beam energy we obtain from the OPAL data is higher than that obtained from the LEP calibration by 0+-34(stat.)+-27(syst.)MeV, Comment: 24 pages, 5 figures, Submitted to Phys.

Abstract: Events with a final state consisting of two or more photons and large missing transverse energy have been observed in e + e − collisions at centre-of-mass energies in the range 192–209 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Cross-section measurements are performed within the kinematic acceptance of the selection and compared with the expectations from the Standard Model process e + e − → ν ν ¯ γ γ ( γ ) . No evidence for new physics contributions to this final state is observed. Upper limits on σ ( e + e − → X X ) ⋅ BR 2 ( X → Y γ ) are derived for the case of stable and invisible Y. In the case of massive Y the combined limits obtained from all the data range from 10 to 60 fb, while for the special case of massless Y the range is 20 to 40 fb. The limits apply to pair production of excited neutrinos ( X = ν * , Y = ν ), to neutralino production ( X = χ ˜ 2 0 , Y = χ ˜ 1 0 ) and to supersymmetric models in which X = χ ˜ 1 0 and Y = G ˜ is a light gravitino.

Abstract: A search for scalar top quarks in R-parity violating supersymmetry is performed in e(+)p collisions at HERA using the H1 detector. The data, taken at roots = 319 GeV and 301 GeV, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 106 pb(-1). The resonant production of scalar top quarks t in positron quark fusion via an R-parity violating Yukawa coupling lambda' is considered with the subsequent bosonic stop decay t --> BW. The R-parity violating decay of the sbottom quark b --> dv(e) and leptonic and hadronic W decays are considered. No evidence for stop production is found in the search for bosonic stop decays nor in a search for the direct R-parity violating decay t --> eq. Mass dependent limits on lambda' are obtained in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. Stop quarks with masses up to 275 GeV can be excluded at the 95% confidence level for a Yukawa coupling of electromagnetic strength. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: The proton structure function F-2(x, Q(2)) is measured in inelastic QED Compton scattering using data collected with the H1 detector at HERA. QED Compton events are used to access the kinematic range of very low virtualities of the exchanged photon, Q(2), down to 0.5 GeV2, and Bjorken x up to similar to 0.06, a region which has not been covered previously by inclusive measurements at HERA. The results are in agreement with the measurements from fixed target lepton-nucleon scattering experiments. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: A search for the Higgsstrahlung process e + e − → hZ is described, where the neutral Higgs boson h is assumed to decay into hadronic final states. In order to be sensitive to a broad range of models, the search is performed independent of the flavour content of the Higgs boson decay. The analysis is based on e + e − collision data collected by the OPAL detector at energies between 192 and 209 GeV. The search does not reveal any significant excess over the Standard Model background prediction. Results are combined with previous searches at energies around 91 and at 189 GeV. A limit is set on the product of the cross-section and the hadronic branching ratio of the Higgs boson, as a function of the Higgs boson mass. Assuming the hZ coupling predicted by the Standard Model, and a Higgs boson decaying only into hadronic final states, a lower bound of 104 GeV / c 2 is set on the mass at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract: Bose-Einstein correlations between like-sign charged-particle pairs in e(+)e(-) --> W+ W- events recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 183 GeV and 209 GeV are studied. Recently proposed methods which allow direct searches for correlations in the data via distributions of test variables are used to investigate the presence of correlations between hadrons originating from different W bosons in W+W- --> q (q) over barq (q) over bar events. Within the statistics of the data sample no evidence for inter - WW Bose-Einstein correlations is obtained. The data are also compared with predictions of a recent implementation of Bose-Einstein correlation effects in the Monte Carlo model PYTHIA.

Abstract: Cross sections for the production of two isolated muons up to high di-muon masses are measured in ep collisions at HERA with the H1 detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 71 pb-1 at a centre of mass energy of √s=319 GeV. The results are in good agreement with Standard Model predictions, the dominant process being photon-photon interactions. Additional muons or electrons are searched for in events with two high transverse momentum muons using the full data sample corresponding to 114 pb-1, where data at √s=301 GeV and √s=319 GeV are combined. Both the di-lepton sample and the tri-lepton sample agree well with the predictions. © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V., 0, DESY-03-159 / hep-ex/0311015, SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract: Hadronic event shape distributions from e+e− annihilation measured by the OPAL experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 91 GeV and 209 GeV are used to determine the strong coupling α S. The results are based on QCD predictions complete to the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), and on NNLO calculations matched to the resummed next-to-leading-log-approximation terms (NNLO + NLLA). The combined NNLO result from all variables and centre-of-mass energies is while the combined NNLO + NLLA result is The completeness of the NNLO and NNLO + NLLA results with respect to missing higher order contributions, studied by varying the renormalization scale, is improved compared to previous results based on NLO or NLO + NLLA predictions only. The observed energy dependence of α S agrees with the QCD prediction of asymptotic freedom and excludes the absence of running.

Abstract: A search for single production of doubly-charged Higgs bosons has been performed using 600.7 pb^-1 of e+e- collision data with sqrt(s)=189--209GeV collected by the OPAL detector at LEP. No evidence for the existence of H++/-- is observed. Upper limits on the Yukawa coupling of the H++/-- to like-signed electron pairs are derived. Additionally, indirect constraints on the Yukawa coupling from Bhabha scattering, where the H++/-- would contribute via t-channel exchange, are derived for M(H++/--) < 2TeV. These are the first results for both a single production search and constraints from Bhabha scattering reported from LEP., 20 pages, 9 figures, Submitted to Phys. Lett. B

Abstract: A search for stable and long-lived massive particles of electric charge |Q/e|=1 or fractional charges of 2/3, 4/3, and 5/3 is reported using data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP, at centre-of-mass energies from 130 to 209 GeV. These particles are assumed to be pair-produced in e+e- collisions and not to interact strongly. No evidence for the production of these particles was observed. Model-independent upper limits on the production cross-section between 0.005 and 0.028 pb have been derived for scalar and spin-1/2 particles with charge +-1. Within the framework of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM), this implies a lower limit of 98.0 (98.5) GeV on the mass of long-lived right (left)- handed scalar muons and scalar taus. Long-lived charged heavy leptons and charginos are excluded for masses below 102.0 GeV. For particles with fractional charge +-2/3, +-4/3, and +-5/3, the upper limit on the production cross-section varies between 0.005 and 0.020 pb. All mass and cross-section limits are derived at the 95% confidence level and are valid for particles with lifetimes longer than 10-6s.

Abstract: A search was performed for charginos with masses close to the mass of the lightest neutralino in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 189-209 GeV recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. Events were selected if they had an observed high-energy photon from initial state radiation, reducing the dominant background from two-photon scattering to a negligible level. No significant excess over Standard Model expectations has been observed in the analysed data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 570pb-1. Upper limits were derived on the chargino pair-productin cross-section, and lower limits on the chargino mass were derived in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model for the gravity and anomaly mediated Supersymmetry breaking scenarios., 26 pages, 9 figures

Abstract: Data collected around sqrt{s}=91 GeV by the OPAL experiment at the LEP e+e- collider are used to study the mechanism of baryon formation. As the signature, the fraction of Sigma-hyperons whose baryon number is compensated by the production of a Sigma-, Lambda or Xi- antihyperon is determined. The method relies entirely on quantum number correlations of the baryons, and not rapidity correlations, making it more model independent than previous studies. The diquark fragmentation model without the popcorn mechanism is strongly disfavored with a significance of 3.8 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties. It is shown that previous studies of the popcorn mechanism are not conclusive if parameter uncertainties are considered., Comment: No of pages 31 - No of figures 7

Abstract: Using about 3.9 million hadronic Z decays from e + e − collisions recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies s ≈M Z , the branching ratio for the decay D − s →τ − ν τ has been measured to be BR ( D − s →τ − ν τ )=(7.0±2.1( stat )±2.0( syst ))%. This result can be used to derive the decay constant of the D − s meson: f D s =(286±44( stat )±41( syst )) MeV .

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: A multidimensional study of local multiplicity fluctuations and multiparticle correlations of hadrons produced in Z decays is performed. The study is based on the data sample of more than 4 million events recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The fluctuations and correlations are analysed in terms of the normalized scaled factorial moments and cumulants up to the fifth order. The moments are observed to have intermittency-like behaviour, which is found to be more pronounced with increasing dimension. The large data sample allows for the first time a study of the factorial cumulants in e+e- annihilation. The analysis of the cumulants shows the existence of genuine multiparticle correlations with a strong intermittency rise up to higher orders. These correlations are found to be stronger in higher dimensions. The decomposition of the factorial moments into lower-order correlations that the dynamical fluctuations have important contributions from genuine many-particle correlations. The Monte Carlo models JETSET 7.4 and HERWIG 5.9 are found to reproduce the trend of the measured moments and cumulants but they underestimate the magnitudes. The results are found to be consistent with QCD jet formation dynamics, although additional contributions from other mechanisms in the hadronization process cannot be excluded.

Abstract: The product branching ratio, $f ({\rm b} \to \Lambda_{\rm b}) \cdot{\rm BR} (\Lambda_{\rm b} \to \Lambda{\rm X})$, where $\Lambda_{\rm b}$ denotes any weakly-decaying b–baryon, has been measured using the OPAL detector at LEP. $\Lambda_{\rm b}$'s are selected by the presence of energetic $\Lambda$ particles in bottom events tagged by the presence of displaced secondary vertices. A fit to the momenta of the $\Lambda$ particles separates signal from B meson and fragmentation backgrounds. The measured product branching ratio is  Combined with a previous OPAL measurement, one obtains

Abstract: Photonic events with large missing energy have been observed in $\mathrm e^+e^-$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130, 136 and 183 GeV collected in 1997 using the OPAL detector at LEP. Results are presented for event topologies with a single photon and missing transverse energy or with an acoplanar photon pair. Cross-section measurements are performed within the kinematic acceptance of each selection. These results are compared with the expectations from the Standard Model process ${\rm e}^+{\rm e}^-\to\nu\overline{\nu}$ + photon(s). No evidence is observed for new physics contributions to these final states. Using the data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 183 GeV, upper limits on ${\sigma({\rm e^+e^-}\to{\rm XY})\cdot{\rm BR}(\rm X \to Y \gamma)}$ and ${\sigma({\rm e^+e^-}\to{\rm XX})\cdot{\rm BR}^2(\rm X \to Y \gamma)}$ are derived for the case of stable and invisible Y. These limits apply to single and pair production of excited neutrinos ( $\rm X = \nu^*, Y = \nu$ ), to neutralino production ( $\rm X={{\tilde{\chi}}^{0}}_{2}, Y={{\tilde{\chi}}^{0}}_{1}$ ) and to supersymmetric models in which $\rm X = {{\tilde{\chi}}^{0}}_{1}$ and $\rm Y=\tilde{\mathrm{G}}$ is a light gravitino.

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: 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: An upper limit for the $\tau$–neutrino mass has been determined from the decay $\tau\rightarrow 5\pi^{\pm}\nu_{\tau}$ using data collected with the OPAL detector from 1991 to 1995 in $\rm e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}\approx M_\mathrm{Z}$. A limit of 43.2 MeV at 95% CL is obtained using a two–dimensional method in the $5\pi$ invariant mass and energy distribution from 22 selected events. Combining this result with OPAL's previously published measurement using $\rm \tau^{+}\tau^{-}\rightarrow 3h^{\pm}\bar{\nu}_{\tau}+3h^{\mp}\nu_{\tau}$ decays, a new combined limit of \(m_{\nu_{\tau}}

Abstract: Bose-Einstein Correlations (BEC) of three identical charged pions were studied in $4 \times 10^6$ hadronic ${\rm Z}^0$ decays recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The genuine three-pion correlations, corrected for the Coulomb effect, were separated from the known two-pion correlations by a new subtraction procedure. A significant genuine three-pion BEC enhancement near threshold was observed having an emitter source radius of $r_3 = 0.580 \pm 0.004 \mbox{ (stat.)} \pm 0.029 \mbox{ (syst.)} \mbox{ fm}$ and a strength of $\lambda_3 = 0.504 \pm 0.010 \mbox{ (stat.)}\pm 0.041 \mbox{ (syst.)}$ . The Coulomb correction was found to increase the $\lambda_3$ value by $\sim $ 9% and to reduce $r_3$ by $\sim $ 6%. The measured $\lambda_3$ corresponds to a value of $0.707 \pm 0.014 \mbox{ (stat.)} \pm 0.078 \mbox{ (syst.)}$ when one takes into account the three-pion sample purity. A relation between the two-pion and the three-pion source parameters is discussed.

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: 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.
