- Abstract
- The cross-section for the process e+e−→W+W− has been measured with the data sample collected by DELPHI at an average centre-of-mass energy of 182.65 GeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 53 pb−1. Based on the 770 events selected as WW candidates, the cross-section for the doubly resonant process View the MathML source has been measured and found to be in good agreement with the Standard Model expectation. The branching fractions of the W decay were also measured. From these a value of the CKM mixing matrix element View the MathML source was derived. Our previously published WW cross-section measurements and the derived measurement of mW have been revised and updated with the present cross-section measurement to yield View the MathML source.
