Abstract

We report on a measurement of the mass of the Z⁰ boson, its total width, and its partial decay widths into hadrons and leptons. On the basis of 25 801 hadronic decays and 1999 decays into electrons, muons or taus, selected over eleven energy points between 88.28 GeV and 95.04 GeV, we obtain from a combined fit to hadrons and leptons a mass of M_z=91.154±0.021 (exp)±0.030 (LEP) GeV, and a total width of Γ_z=2.536±0.045 GeV. The errors on M_z have been separated into the experimental error and the uncertainty due to the LEP beam energy. The measured leptonic partial widths are Γ_ee=81.2±2.6 MeV, Γ_μμ=82.6± 5.8 MeV, and Γ_ττ=85.7±7.1 MeV, consistent with lepton universality. From a fit assuming lepton universality we obtain Γ_ℓ⁺ ℓ^- = 81.9±2.0 MeV. The hadronic partial width is Γ_had=1838±46 MeV. From the measured total and partial widths a model independent value for the invisible width is calculated to be Γ_inv=453±44 MeV. The errors quoted include both the statistical and the systematic uncertainties.

N2 - We report on a measurement of the mass of the Z0 boson, its total width, and its partial decay widths into hadrons and leptons. On the basis of 25 801 hadronic decays and 1999 decays into electrons, muons or taus, selected over eleven energy points between 88.28 GeV and 95.04 GeV, we obtain from a combined fit to hadrons and leptons a mass of Mz=91.154±0.021 (exp)±0.030 (LEP) GeV, and a total width of Γz=2.536±0.045 GeV. The errors on Mz have been separated into the experimental error and the uncertainty due to the LEP beam energy. The measured leptonic partial widths are Γee=81.2±2.6 MeV, Γμμ=82.6± 5.8 MeV, and Γττ=85.7±7.1 MeV, consistent with lepton universality. From a fit assuming lepton universality we obtain Γℓ+ ℓ- = 81.9±2.0 MeV. The hadronic partial width is Γhad=1838±46 MeV. From the measured total and partial widths a model independent value for the invisible width is calculated to be Γinv=453±44 MeV. The errors quoted include both the statistical and the systematic uncertainties.
