Decays of the Z boson into hadrons or muon pairs are considered and the Z mass is determined to be 91.272 +- 0.032 (stat.) +- 0.033 (syst.) GeV, in agreement with the value measured at the Z resonance. Alternatively, assuming this measured value of the Z mass, the method determines the LEP beam energy, found to be 87 +- 34 (stat.) \\pm 34 (syst.) MeV lower than the nominal value.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-01-31T13:57:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "centre-of-mass energies", "gamma events", "measurement", "hard initial state radiation", "lep beam energy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 636939 } } }
