摘要：

Using muon candidates in 133 000 hadronic decays of the Z0, recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP, we have measured the fraction of events containing semi-leptonic decays of b flavoured hadrons. An analysis based on fitting the shape of the momentum and transverse momentum distributions of the muon candidates gave the result: (GAMMA-(Z0 --> bbBAR)/(GAMMA-(Z0 --> hadrons)) x br (b --> mu) = 0.0226 +/- 0.0007 +/- 0.0013, and also yielded: (GAMMA-(Z0 --> ccBAR)/GAMMA-(Z0 --> hadrons)) x Br(c --> mu) = 0.0176 +/- 0.0025 +/- 0.0042. Using the charge of the muon and the angle of the event thrust axis with respect to the electron beam, in a b-enriched event sample, we measured the forward-backward asymmetry for Z0 --> bbBAR decays. Without correction for B0BBAR0 mixing, the asymmetry was found to be A(b)FB = 0.072 +/- 0.042 +/- 0.010.
