Abstracts
We have studied the reactions e+ e- hadrons, e+ e-, + - and + -, in the energy range 88.2 < < 94.2 GeV. A total luminosity of 5.5 pb-1, corresponding to approximately 115000 hadronic and 10000 leptonic Z0 decays, has been recorded with the L3 detector. From a simultaneous fit to all of our measured cross section data, we obtain assuming lepton universality: center tabular rl MZ&= 91.181 ± 0.010 ± 0.02 (LEP) GeV,
Z&= 2501 ± 17 MeV,
had&= 1742 ± 19 MeV,
l&= 83.6 ± 0.8 MeV. tabular center If we do not assume lepton universality, we obtain for the partial decay widths of the Z0 into e+ e-, +- and + -: center tabular rl e&= 83.3 ± 1.1 MeV,
&= 84.5 ± 2.0 MeV,
&= 84.0 ± 2.7 MeV. tabular center From the measured ratio of the invisible and the leptonic decay widths of the Z0, we determine the number of light neutrino species to be N = 3.05 ± 0.10. We include our measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry for the leptonic channels in a fit to determine the vector and axial-vector neutral current coupling constants of charged leptons to the Z0. We obtain tilde gV = -0.046-0.012+0.015 and tilde gA = -0.500 ± 0.003. In the framework of the Standard Model, we estimate the top quark mass to be mt = 193-69+52 ± 16 (Higgs) GeV, and we derive a value for the weak mixing angle of sin2W = 1 - (MW/MZ)2 = 0.222 ± 0.008, corresponding to an effective weak mixing angle of sin2tildeW = 0.2315 ± 0.0025.
