摘要
The data collected by the L3 experiment at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV are used to measure the W-pair production cross section and the W-boson decay branching fractions. These data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 176.8 pb-l. The total cross section for W-pair production, combining all final states, is measured to be sigma (W) = 16.24 +/- 0.37 (stat.) +/- 0.22 (syst.) pb. Including our data collected at lower centre-of-mass energies, the hadronic branching fraction of the W-boson is determined to be B(W --> qq) = [68.20 +/- 0.68 (stat.) +/- 0.33 (syst.)]%. The results agree with the Standard Model predictions. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
