Abstract: (Springer)
The reaction (e+e−→μ+μ−) has been measured betweenS=14.0\sqrt S= 14.0 andS=36.4\sqrt S= 36.4. The total cross section result is in good agreement with the QED prediction and the following Λ values have been obtained:Λ+=186 GeV,Λ−=101 GeV. The angular distribution at high energy ((S=34.2GeV)\left( {\left. {\left\langle {\sqrt S } \right.} \right\rangle= 34.2 GeV} \right)) shows a fitted charge asymmetry of −0.064±0.064 in agreement with theW-S model prediction of −0.092, corresponding to an axial coupling parametera2=4ga2=0.69±0.69.
