## A combination of preliminary electroweak measurements and constraints on the Standard Model

This note presents a combination of published and preliminary electroweak results from the four LEP collaborations and the SLD collaboration which were prepared for the 2001 summer conferences. Averages from Z resonance results are derived for hadronic and leptonic cross sections, the leptonic forward-backward asymmetries, the tau polarisation asymmetries, the b-bbar and c-cbar partial widths and forward-backward asymmetries and the q-qbar charge asymmetry. Above the Z resonance, averages are derived for di-fermion cross sections and forward-backward asymmetries, W-pair, Z-pair and single-W production cross section, electroweak gauge boson couplings, W mass and width and W decay branching ratios. For the first time, total and differential cross sections for di-photon production are combined. The main changes with respect to the experim...

## Studies of hadronic event structure in e(+)e(-) annihilation from 30 to 209 GeV with the L3 detector

In this Report, QCD results obtained from a study of hadronic event structure in high energy e(+)e(-) interactions with the L3 detector are presented. The operation of the LEP collider at many different collision energies from 91 to 209 GeV offers a unique opportunity to test QCD by measuring the energy dependence of different observables. The main results concern the measurement of the strong coupling constant, as, from hadronic event shapes and the study of effects of soft gluon coherence in charged particle multiplicity and momentum distributions.

## Heavy flavor properties of jets produced in p(p)over-bar interactions at root s=1.8 TeV

We present a detailed examination of the heavy flavor properties of jets produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data set, collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab, consists of events with two or more jets with transverse energy E(T)>or equal to15 GeV and pseudorapidity \eta\< or equal to1.5. The heavy flavor content of the data set is enriched by requiring that at least one of the jets (lepton- jet) contains a lepton with a transverse momentum larger than 8 GeV/c. Jets containing hadrons with heavy flavor are selected via the identification of secondary vertices. The parton-level cross sections predicted by the HERWIG Monte Carlo generator program are tuned within theoretical and experimental uncertainties to reproduce the secondary-vertex rates in the data. The tuned simulation provides new information on the or...

## Neutral-Current Four-Fermion Production in $e^+ e^-$ Interactions at 130 GeV $\leq \sqrt{s} \leq$ 172 GeV

A study of neutral-current four-fermion processes is performed, using data collected by the L3 detector at LEP during high-energy runs at centre-of-mass energies 130 - 136, 161 and 170 - 172 GeV, with integrated luminosities of 4.9, 10.7 and 10.1 pb$^{-1}$, respectively. The total cross sections for the final states $\ell\ell \ell^\prime \ell^\prime$ and $\rm \ell\ell qq$ ($\ell$,~$\ell^\prime$ = e, $\mu$ or $\tau$) are measured and found to be in agreement with the Standard Model prediction.
