Cross Section Measurement of μ Pair Production at √ {S} = 161 - 208\ GEV in γγ Collisions at Lep with L3
Abstract
The QED reaction e+e- → e+e-l+l- is a dominant channel at LEP2. It has been studied with the L3 detector for l = μ using an untagged data sample collected at 161 <= √ {s} <= 208\ GeV. The cross sections are measured as a function of the two-photon invariant mass for 3 ≤ Wγγ ≤ 40 GeV. Good agreement is found between these measurement and the O(α4) QED expectations.
