Abstract
The interference between initial and final state radiation in the proc ess e(+)e(-) --> mu(+)mu(-) at root s approximate to M(Z) has been stu died by measuring the forward-backward asymmetry as a function of the acoplanarity angle between the final state muons. The interference is expected to be sensitive to the space-time separation of the initial a nd final state radiation. The measured asymmetry distribution has been compared to theoretical predictions using the KORALZ generator, with and without O(alpha) interference, The magnitude of the interference b etween initial and final state radiation was found to be of the order predicted and to follow the expected distribution. Using the theoretic al predictions, a value of Gamma(Z) = 2.50 +/- 0.21 (stat.) +/- 0.06 ( syst.) GeV. has been extracted, The interpretation of this result is d iscussed. There is an additional uncertainty in the estimate of Gamma( Z) from as yet uncalculated higher order interference terms. By assumi ng a value of Gamma(Z) consistent with the world average, the data wer e used to estimate the size of these uncalculated corrections.
