The combined data set considered in Available online 26 August 2013 −1 this report corresponds to a total luminosity of about 3 fb collected by the four editor: J.A. Bagger LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 GeV to 209 GeV. Keywords: Combining the published results of the four LEP experiments, the measurements Electron–positron physics include total and differential cross-sections in photon-pair, fermion-pair and four-fermion Electroweak interactions Decays of heavy intermediate gauge bosons production, the latter resulting from both double-resonant WW and ZZ production as Fermion–antifermion production well as singly resonant production. Total and differential cross-sections are measured Precision measurements at W-pair energies precisely, providing a stringent test of the Standard Model at centre-of-mass energies Tests of the Standard Model never explored before in electron–positron collisions. Final-state interaction effects in four- Radiative corrections fermion production, such as those arising from colour reconnection and Bose–Einstein Effective coupling constants correlations between the two W decay systems arising in WW production, are searched Neutral weak current for and upper limits on the strength of possible effects are obtained. The data are used Z boson to determine fundamental properties of the W boson and the electroweak theory. Among W boson Top quark others, themass andwidth of theW boson,mW andΓW , the branching fraction ofW decays Z Higgs boson to hadrons, B(W → had), and the trilinear gauge-boson self-couplings g1 , κγ and λγ are determined to be: mW = 80.376 ± 0.033 GeV ΓW = 2.195 ± 0.083 GeV B(W → had) = 67.41 ± 0.27% Z +0.018 g1 = 0.984−0.020 κγ = 0.982 ± 0.042 λγ = −0.022 ± 0.019. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
