Abstract

Four-fermion events have been selected in a data sample of 5.8 pb-1 collected with the ALEPH detector at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV. The final states ℓ+ℓ-qq̄, ℓ+ℓ-ℓ+ℓ -,vv̄qq̄, and vv̄ℓ+ℓ- have been examined. Five events are observed in the data, in agreement with the Standard Model predictions of 6.67 ± 0.38 events from four-fermion processes and 0.14 +0.19-0.05 from background processes.
