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.

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.

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: Measurements of the production of the weakly decaying charmed hadrons: D0, D+, Ds+ andΛc+ in both$Z^0 \to c\bar c$ and$Z^0 \to b\bar b$ events are reported. By summing the partial contributions from each of these states we measure the partial width for Z0 decays into a$c\bar c$ pair as: $$\frac{{\Gamma _{c\bar c} }}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.167 \pm 0.011(stat) \pm 0.011(sys) \pm 0.005(br)$$ where the errors are statistical, systematic and due to the uncertainties in the charmed hadron branching ratios, respectively. The relative production rates for the formation of the charmed hadrons from primaryc quarks is found to be in good agreement with continuum e+e− data at √s≈10 GeV.

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 average lifetime of b-flavoured baryons measured with the OPAL detector is updated to include data collected between 1990 and 1994 at LEP. Bottom-flavoured baryons that decay semileptonically and produce aΛ baryon are identified through the correlation of the baryon number of theΛ and the electric charge of the lepton. To measure the lifetime, the decay point of the b baryon is estimated by theΛ-lepton vertex, and the observed distribution of decay lengths is fitted simultaneously in 874 right-sign and 384 wrong-sign combinations. In a separate method, the impact parameter distribution of the leptons is fitted in a subset of these data. When the two results are combined, taking correlations into account, the average b-baryon lifetime is found to be τ=1.16±0.11(stat.)±0.06(syst.) ps. Using the same data, the product branching ratio is measured to be$\begin{gathered} \hfill f(b \to \Lambda _b ) \cdot BR(\Lambda _b \to \Lambda \ell ^ - \bar vX) = (2.91 \pm 0.23(stat.) \\ \hfill \pm 0.25(stat.)) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \\ \end{gathered} $, where the symbolf(b→Λb) is the fraction of b quarks from Z0 decays forming b baryons,Λb represents all b-flavoured baryons and l is either an electron or a muon.

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: The dependence of event shape cross sections on the QCD structure constantsCA,CF andTF is studied using data from the OPAL detector at LEP. The observables Thrust, Heavy Jet Mass, Total and Wide Jet Broadening are used. They allow the use ofO(αs2), resummed NLLA, and combinedO(αs2) plus resummed NLLA QCD calculations so that a comparison between the different approaches can be performed. The measured values of the structure constants are found to be consistent with standard QCD based on SU(3) and five active quark flavours. A measurement of the strong coupling constant using NLLA QCD calculations alone results in$\alpha _s (M_{Z^0 } ) = 0.113_{ - 0.008}^{ + 0.009}$, which complements our previous determinations.

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.
