Study of Z pair production and anomalous couplings in e+e - collisions at √s between 190 GeV and 209 GeV
2004
A study of Z-boson
pair productionin e+e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 190 GeV and 209 GeV is reported. Final states containing only
leptons, (l+l-l+l- and l+l-nn), quark and
leptonpairs, (qql+l-, qqnn) and only hadrons (qqqq) are considered. In all states with at least one Z boson decaying hadronically, lifetime,
leptonand event-shape tags are used to separate bb pairs from qq final state. Limits on anomalous ZZgamma and ZZZ couplings are derived from the measured cross sections and from event kinematics using an optimal observable method. Limits on low scale gravity with large dimensions are derived from the cross sections and their dependence on polar angle.
