Abstract

The L3 detector at LEP has been used to determine the number of light neutrino families by measuring the cross section of single photon even in e+e collisions at energies near the Z0 resonance. We have observed 61 single photon candidates with more than 1.5 GeV of deposited energy in the barrel electromagnetic calorimeter, for a total integrated luminosity of 3.0 pb−1. From a likelihood fir to the single photon cross sections, we determin Nν=3.24 ± 0.46 (statistical) ±0.22 (systematic).
