1 Introduction

Particles not produced at LEP, like the top or the Higgs, can have measurable effects on electroweak observables through the radiative corrections they induce. In the same

way than LEP was able to predict the top mass with a precision of2 103-465 before its

discovery at the TEVATRON, the present electroweak data give throng constrains on

the Higgs mass (798 = 88:<;>=

sensitive to the fermions couplings to the  play an important role in these

con-strains. The asymmetric forward-backward production of fermions in the  decays

are among them. In this paper the measurement of the forward-backward

asymme-try performed at LEP I will be presented. It provides today, with 7DC andE$FHG , the

main constrain on7 8 .

2.1 Experimental techniques

To perform theE ” ”

o“p measurement the following informations are required :

™

A flavour tag to select the

P



event

™

The polar angle/”axis” of the 

production

™

A charge tag to sign this 

“axis” along the direction

Among the quarks only the andš quarks can be easily tagged. Many methods to tag

 decays inš



š or



quarks have been developed. They rely on different properties of the heavy quarks production and decay:

™

The hadrons have a long fly distance (›š&~ Œ 2 w ‘ mm). The charm, present

in the decay products, further increases the distance between the interaction

region and the secondary vertices. Such decay chain gives vertices clearly shifted from the primary vertex and produces tracks with high impact

param-eters (see figure 4). Typical working point in E$” ”

obp analysis using lifetime tag

corresponds to an efficiency in 2 0.7 - 0.9 for a purity2 0.7 - 0.9. This

work-ing point is slightly different to the one used inœ Œ analysis for which a higher

purity is required.

The é and ê hadrons have high semi-leptonic branching ratios (2 10% for

prompt decay in orW ), they take most of the beam energy (@ëèì}íjîï2}ˆN‘*—

and@–ëèì–íjð2–ˆN‘• ), and, due to their high mass, they produce leptons with a

high transverse momentum (ñ(ò ). For these reasons semi-leptonic tagging using

theñ andñ(ò of the leptons can give pure sample of orš quarks (see figure 3).

The charm content of and š events can be directly identified by exclusive

reconstruction ofêèó"ôHê decays. The energy and fly distance of theseêèó'ô“ê

allow a distinction between andš events.

The usual choice for the polar angle is the thrust axis. This choice induces specific QCD corrections but doesn’t result in any significant systematics.

The charge of the initial quark can be extracted :

in a exclusive way using the correlation between the quark and its decay

prod-ucts ( Y W ? hxë ,š Y êèó : , etc). ™

in an inclusive way by a jet charge method where the sign of the quark charge is estimated by a momentum weighted mean of the charged tracks present in the

is typically chosen between 0.5 and 1 (see figure 5). This method uses the

fact than tracks of high momentum in a jet are more likely coming from the

o“p measurements

Many combinations of the different flavour and charge tagging techniques described in the previous section have been used. In this section the last developments in the usage of these tools will be presented.

New lepton analysis

In lepton analysis a few observables have been used on top of the pureñ ,ñ ò tags.

Im-proved sample purity has been obtained using missing energy/ neutrino tag (ALEPH

 ) or lifetime tag (ALEPH

been reached using differences between Y

ob-servables like the jet charge of the opposite hemisphere to the lepton (DELPHIM ) or

the energy taken by the tracks nearer the lepton (OPAL ). If all these observables

improved the statistical precision of the results, they require in general specific mea-surements/calibrations to keep the systematics under control.

Such improved techniques decreased the statistical error up to 20% (50%) for

E$” ” obp (

E$’ ’

New inclusive analysis

ALEPH; and DELPHI

 provided in 2001 results with highly inclusive techniques.

The interest of these approaches is to measure directly in the data both ,the sample

purity and the charge separation, using more of the available information than the usual “ -tagging + jet charge” techniques.

For the same sample, the total error onE$” ”

obp is reduced by 1.2 in DELPHI and 1.7

in ALEPH compared to the classical jet charge analysis. These results are obtained by :

adding charge/ flavour informations like secondary vertex charge or lepton/K

identification combined with their reconstructedñ ,ñò and charge.

into account in the LEP average, for example a statistical correlation of 2 20% is

Calibration in the data

Of course the simulation cannot describe properly all the variables used in these anal-ysis : sample composition or charge separation have to be measured directly in the data. The interest in the analysis described above rely not only on their improved statistical sensitivity but even more on their relative low sensitivity to the availability of a precise simulation description.

) to tag each flavour

X .

In the DELPHI lepton analysis, the jet charge of the opposite hemisphere to the lepton is used. The shape of the jet charge (

a

Π,

Š

Π) like always is measured in the

data (see figure 5). The calibration gives, almost by construction, a good data/MC agreement (see figure 8) for the overall sample but also for subsamples with different

lepton- charge correlation selected by a givenñ ,ñ(ò cuts. This last point is interesting

as it indicates than the origin of the different leptons is well understood.

On important point in the new ALEPH/DELPHI inclusive analysis is the mea-surement of the charge separation in the data them self. In DELPHI only hemispheres

with a good charge separation are used. The charge tagging power is measured in

the data by a single/double tag techniques. Up to 93% right charge tagging has been obtained (see figure 7). In ALEPH all -tagged events have been used and a charge separation up to 74% has been observed. In this last analysis a classical (see figure 5) calibration of the shape of the jet charge has been performed.

In analysis using such kind of self-calibration (for the jet charge , -tagging , ... ) the dominant systematics are in general still coming from what has to be taken from the simulation. For example the hemisphere correlations or the behaviour of non-events induce the main contribution to the systematics in the inclusive analysis.

Nevertheless lots of efforts have been done to define correctly the size of such systematics. For example (see figure 9) in the new DELPHI inclusive analysis the source of the charge correlation between the hemispheres has been investigated in the simulation and identified to the jet charge information. Such correlation in the jet charge being well understood and studied in data as shown in the pure jet charge

The effect of the QCD corrections received lots of attention over the last years. This effort converged only in 1999. The main conclusion of these studies is than the visibility of the hard gluon emission, which dominate the theoretical QCD correc-tions, is a function of the experimental method used to extract the asymmetry. For example

There is eleven different measurements ofE$” ”

obp performed at LEP I by the four LEP

experiments. To take into account correctly in the average the statistical and system-atical correlations of these results, the LEP/SLD Heavy Flavour Working group has

developed an averaging proceduree which includes many measured quantities

con-nected to the electroweak measurements in the andš sectors at the  . In practice

the average is performed for 18 observables and for a total of 99 measurements. The

The overall goal of a security API in the context of network protocols is to improve the security of the protocol that makes use of it, for instance to make it more resistant in

The approach used in the present analysis, based on the selection of four-b events, results in a smaller statistics, but the dependence on the Monte Carlo model is reduced,
