摘要：

We report on the measurement of W-boson pair-production with the L3 detector at LEP, In a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 55.47 pb(-1) collected at an average centre-of-mass energy of 182.68 GeV, we select 824 four-fermion events with pairs of hadronic jets or pairs of leptons with high invariant masses. Branching fractions of W decays into different fermion-antifermion pairs are determined, Assuming charged-current lepton universality, the branching fraction for hadronic W decays is measured to be: B(W --> hadrons) = 70.1 +/- 1.3(stat.) +/- 0.4(syst.) %. Combining all final states the total cross section for W-pair production is measured to be: sigma(WW) = 16.53 +/- 0.67(stat.) +/- 0.26(syst.) pb. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V, All rights reserved.
