Abstract
Inclusive branching ratios involving
transitions
are measured in approximately four million hadronic Z decays collected
by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The fully-inclusive branching ratio
and the semi-inclusive branching ratio
are measured to be
and
, in agreement with the
standard model predictions. Upper limits on the branching fractions
and
are set to
and
at the
90% C.L.
These results allow a 90% C.L. lower limit of
0.40 (GeV/c2)-1
to be set on the
ratio, in the framework of type-II
two-Higgs-doublet models.
