Intermediate-Vector-Boson Properties at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron Collider

Abstract
The properties of a sample of 172 charged intermediate vector bosons decaying in the (eνe) channel and 16 neutral intermediate vector bosons decaying in the (e+e-) channel are described. Masses, decay widths, decay angular distributions, and production cross-sections are given; they are shown to be in excellent agreement with the expectations of the SU2U1 standard model. A limit is put on the number of light-neutrino types Nν ≤ 10 at 90% c.l.
