Description

The recent work of the PETRA groups CELLO, JADE, MARK J and TASSO on studies of electroweak interactions is reviewed. The charge asymmetry in μ-pair production is established. It agrees with the prediction of the standard model of Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam. First results on the large asymmetry in tau-pair production are presented. The data are interpreted in terms of values for sin2thetasub(w) in the standard theory and of the weak coupling constant gsub(v) and gsub(a). In addition a new upper limit on he beauty lifetime is discussed, and new data on the tau branching ratios and lifetime are given
