摘要：

The inclusive charm hadron semileptonic branching fractions B(c --> e) and B(c --> mu) in Z(0) --> c (c) over bar events have been determined using 4.4 million hadronic Z(0) decays collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. A charm-enriched sample is obtained by. selecting events with reconstructed D*(+/-) mesons. Using leptons found in the hemisphere opposite that of the D*(+/-) mesons, the semileptonic branching fractions of charm hadrons are measured to be B(c --> e) = 0.103 +/- 0.009(-0.008)(+0.009) and B(c --> mu) = 0.090 +/ 0.007(-0.006)(+0.007), where the first errors are in each case statistical and the second systematic. Combining these measurements, an inclusive semileptonic branching fraction of charm hadrons of B(c --> l) = 0.095 +/- 0.006(-0.006)(+0.007) is obtained.
