Description

We have measured the processe+e-→μ+μ- at √s = 29 GeV using the High Resolution Spectrometer at SLAC PEP. The forward-backward charge asymmetry is A/sub mumu/ = -(4.9 +- 1.5 +- 0.5)% based on 5057 events. A subsample of 3488 μ+μ- events in the angular range Vertical BarcosthetaVertical Bar<0.55 gives a cross-section ratio of R/sub mumu/ = 0.990 +- 0.017 +- 0.030. The resulting couplings of the weak neutral current are g/sub a//sup e/g/sub a//sup μ/ = 0.208 +- 0.064 +- 0.021 and g/sub v//sup e/g/sub v//sup μ/ = 0.027 +- 0.051 +- 0.089. The QED cutoff parameters are Λ/sub +/>170 GeV and Λ/sub -/>146 GeV at 95% C.L
