Results are reported on a high statistics study of Bhabha scattering at 29 GeV in the polar angle region, |cos θ | < 0.55. The data are consistent with the standard model, and measure vector and axial-vector coupling constants of g v 2 = 0.03 ± 0.09 and g a 2 = 0.46±0.14. Limits on the QED-cutoff parameters are Λ + > 154 GeV and Λ - > 220 GeV. Lower limits on scale parameters of composite models are in the range 0.9–2.8 TeV. The partial width of a hypothetical spin-zero boson decaying to e + e − has an upper limit which varies from 6 to 57 MeV corresponding to a boson mass in the range 45–80 GeV/ c 2 .

We have measured the process e+e−→μ+μ− at √s =29 GeV using the High Resolution Spectrometer at SLAC PEP. The forward-backward charge asymmetry is Aμμ=-(4.9±1.5±0.5)% based on 5057 events. A subsample of 3488 μ+μ− events in the angular range ‖cosθ‖<0.55 gives a cross-section ratio of Rμμ=0.990±0.017±0.030. The resulting couplings of the weak neutral current are gaegaμ=0.208±0.064± 0.021 and gvegvμ=0.027 ±0.051±0.089. The QED cutoff parameters are Λ+>170 GeV and Λ−>146 GeV at 95% C.L.
Corrected for acceptance and O(alpha**3) QED radiation. Numerical values taken from SUGANO-ANL-HEP-CP-84-90.
Forward-backward asymmetry based on fit to angular distribution. Result is given combined with earlier data from BENDER et al.
