Abstract

The cross-section ratio R_b = σ(e⁺e^- → bb̄)/σ(e⁺e^- → qq̄) and the bottom and charm forward-backward asymmetries A^b_FB and A^c_FB are measured using event samples collected by the OPAL detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 and 189 GeV. Events with bottom quark production are selected with a secondary vertex tag, and a hemisphere charge algorithm is used to extract A^b_FB. In addition, the bottom and charm asymmetries are measured using leptons from semileptonic decays of heavy hadrons and pions from D*⁺ → D⁰π⁺ decays. The results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.

N2 - The cross-section ratio Rb = σ(e+e- → bb̄)/σ(e+e- → qq̄) and the bottom and charm forward-backward asymmetries AbFB and AcFB are measured using event samples collected by the OPAL detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 and 189 GeV. Events with bottom quark production are selected with a secondary vertex tag, and a hemisphere charge algorithm is used to extract AbFB. In addition, the bottom and charm asymmetries are measured using leptons from semileptonic decays of heavy hadrons and pions from D*+ → D0π+ decays. The results are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
