摘要：

The process e(+)e(-) --> gamma gamma(gamma) is studied using data recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP. The data sample corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 56.2 pb(-1) taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The measured cross-section agrees well with the expectation from QED. A fit to the angular distribution is used to obtain improved limits at 95% CL on the QED cut-off parameters: Lambda(+) > 233 GeV and Lambda(-) > 265 GeV as well as a mass limit for an excited electron, M(e*) > 227 GeV assuming equal e*e gamma and ee gamma couplings. No evidence for resonance production is found in the invariant mass spectrum of photon pairs. Limits are obtained for the cross-section times branching ratio for a resonance decaying into two photons. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
