Abstract

The production of W⁺W^- pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.2 pb^-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays into leptons or hadrons. Combining all final states and assuming Standard Model branching fractions, the total W-pair cross section is measured to be 15.71 ± 0.34(stat.) ± 0.18(syst.)pb. Using also the W-pair data samples collected by ALEPH at lower centre-of-mass energies, the decay branching fraction of the W boson into hadrons is measured to be B(W → hadrons) = 66.97 ± 0.65(stat.) ± 0.32(syst.)%, allowing a determination of the CKM matrix element |V(cs)| = 0.951 ± 0.030(stat.) ± 0.015(syst.).

N2 - The production of W+W- pairs is analysed in a data sample collected by ALEPH at a mean centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.2 pb-1. Cross sections are given for different topologies of W decays into leptons or hadrons. Combining all final states and assuming Standard Model branching fractions, the total W-pair cross section is measured to be 15.71 ± 0.34(stat.) ± 0.18(syst.)pb. Using also the W-pair data samples collected by ALEPH at lower centre-of-mass energies, the decay branching fraction of the W boson into hadrons is measured to be B(W → hadrons) = 66.97 ± 0.65(stat.) ± 0.32(syst.)%, allowing a determination of the CKM matrix element |V(cs)| = 0.951 ± 0.030(stat.) ± 0.015(syst.).
