Abstract

We present a combined measurement of and the semileptonic branching ratio of b quarks in Z decays, , using double-tag methods. Two analyses are performed on one million hadronic Z decays collected in 1994 and 1995. The first analysis exploits the capabilities of the silicon microvertex detector. The tagging of b-events is based on the large impact parameter of tracks from weakly decaying b-hadrons with respect to the collision point. In the second analysis, a high- lepton tag is used to enhance the b-component in the sample and its momentum spectrum is used to constrain the model dependent uncertainties in the semileptonic b-decay. The analyses are combined in order to provide precise determinations.
