Abstract
The forward-backward asymmetry of the process e(+)e(-) --> Z --> b ($) over bar b has been measured using events collected ee by the DELPHI experiment during the 1991 and 1992 LEP runs. This data sample corresp onded to 884 000 hadronic Z decays at a centre-of-mass energy root s s imilar to M(Z). The tagging of b-quark events was performed using two approaches; the first was based on the semileptonic decay channels b - -> X + mu and b --> X + e, the second used a lifetime tag with jet-cha rge reconstruction. The results of these two methods were combined to give A(FB)(b ($) over bar b) = 0.107 +/- 0.011(stat. + syst. + mixing) . With the semileptonic sample, the forward-backward asymmetry of the process e(+)e(-) --> Z --> c ($) over bar c was also measured to be A( FB)(c ($) over bar c) = 0.083 +/- 0.022(stat.) +/- 0.016(syst.). The e ffective value of the Weinberg mixing angle derived from these measure ments was sin(2) theta(eff)(lep) = 0.2294 +/- 0.0021.
