Abstract

Cross-sections for hadronic. bl; and lepton pair final states in e(+)e (-) collisions at. root s=183 GeV, measured with the OPAL detector at LEP, are presented and compared with the predictions of the Standard M odel. Forward-backward asymmetries for the leptonic final state:! have also been measured. Cross-sections and asymmetries are also presented for data recorded in 1997 at root s=130 and 136 GeV. The results are used to measure the energy dependence of the electromagnetic coupling constant alpha(em), and to place limits on new physics as described by four-fermion contact interactions or by the exchange of a new heavy p article such as a leptoquark, or of a squark or sneutrino in supersymm etric theories with R-parity violation.
