Abstract
Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) between final state particles in the reaction e(+)e(-) -> W+ W- -> q(1)(q(2)) over barq(3)(q(4)over bar>) over bar) have been studied. Data corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 550 pb(-1), recorded by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV, were analysed. An indication for inter-W BEC between like-sign particles has been found at the level of 2.4 standard deviations of the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Electroweak measurements in electron positron collisions at W-boson-pair energies at LEP

S. Schael, +1675 more
- 30 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the four LEP experiments were combined to determine fundamental properties of the W boson and the electroweak theory, including the branching fraction of W and the trilinear gauge-boson self-couplings.

Energy dependence of J/ψ absorption in proton-nucleus collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the normal nuclear absorption in proton-nucleus collisions is presented, where the charmonium production cross sections increase less than linearly with the number of target nucleons.

Measurements of CP-conserving Trilinear Gauge Boson Couplings WWV (V = gamma,Z) in e+e- Collisions at LEP2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used DELPHI data to place limits on the CP-conserving trilinear gauge boson couplings Delta_g1z, lambda_gamma and Delta_kappag associated to W+W- and single W production at LEP2.
