Abstract

The inclusive charm production rate in W decays is measured from a study of the properties of final state particles. The sample of W pairs is selected from 67.7 pb^-1collected by ALEPH in 1996 and 1997 at centre-of-mass energies near 172 and 183 GeV in the channels W⁺W^-→ 4q and W⁺W^-→ℓvqq̄. The branching fraction of hadronic W decays to a final state containing a c quark, R_c ^W= Γ(W→cX)/Γ(W→hadrons), is measured to be 0.51 ± 0.05_stat+ 0.03_syst.This allows a direct determination of the CKM matrix element |Vcs| = 1.00 ± 0.11_stat± 0.07_syst.

N2 - The inclusive charm production rate in W decays is measured from a study of the properties of final state particles. The sample of W pairs is selected from 67.7 pb-1collected by ALEPH in 1996 and 1997 at centre-of-mass energies near 172 and 183 GeV in the channels W+W-→ 4q and W+W-→ℓvqq̄. The branching fraction of hadronic W decays to a final state containing a c quark, Rc W= Γ(W→cX)/Γ(W→hadrons), is measured to be 0.51 ± 0.05stat+ 0.03syst.This allows a direct determination of the CKM matrix element |Vcs| = 1.00 ± 0.11stat± 0.07syst.
