Abstract

The forward-backward asymmetries of {Mathematical expression} have been measured by the OPAL Collaboration using samples of hadronic Z0 decays in which electron or muon candidates were observed. The asymmetries were measured simultaneously in a two parameter fit, which used the distributions of the track momentum and transverse momentum component with respect to the associated jet to distinguish lepton candidates from different sources. From a sample of 360 000 hadronic events with centre-of-mass energies within ±0.5 GeV of the Z0 mass and mean energy 91.24. GeV, the values obtained for the {Mathematical expression} asymmetry before and after correcting, for the effect of {Mathematical expression} mixing, and for the {Mathematical expression} asymmetry are, respectively: {Mathematical expression} The measurement of the {Mathematical expression} asymmetry is confirmed by a measurement using only leptons with high transverse momentum. This sample is highly enriched in semileptonic decays of b hadrons. Measurements using high transverse momentum leptons were also performed using samples of events with centre-of-mass energies further from the Z0 mass. After correcting for the effect of {Mathematical expression} mixing, the results are: {Mathematical expression}
