Abstract

We report an experimental determination of the cross section for e⁺e^- → hadrons from a scan around the Z⁰ pole. On the basis of 4350 hadronic events collected over seven energy points between 89.26 GeV and 93.26 GeV we obtain a mass of m_z=91.01±0.05±0.05 GeV, and a total decay width of Γ_z=2.60±0.13 GeV. In the context of the standard model t these results imply 3.1 ± 0.4 neutrino generations.

N2 - We report an experimental determination of the cross section for e+e- → hadrons from a scan around the Z0 pole. On the basis of 4350 hadronic events collected over seven energy points between 89.26 GeV and 93.26 GeV we obtain a mass of mz=91.01±0.05±0.05 GeV, and a total decay width of Γz=2.60±0.13 GeV. In the context of the standard model t these results imply 3.1 ± 0.4 neutrino generations.
