A Study of b bbar Production in e+e- Collisions at sqrt(s) = 130-207 GeV
Abstract
Measurements are presented of Rb, the ratio of the b bbar cross-section to the q qbar cross-section in e+e- collisions, and the forward-backward asymmetry AbFB at twelve energy points in the range sqrt(s) = 130-207 GeV. These results are found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectations. The measurements are used to set limits on new physics scenarios involving contact interactions.
