ZZ production in e + e - interactions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 183-209 GeV
Measurements of on-shell ZZ production are described, using data from the DELPHI experiment at LEP in e + e - collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 183 and 209 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 665 pb-1. Results obtained in each of the final states $q \bar{q} q \bar{q}$, $\nu \bar{\nu} q \bar{q}$, $\mu^+ \mu^- q \bar{q}$, $e^+e^- q \bar{q}$, $\tau^+ \tau^- q \bar{q}$, l + l - l + l -, and $\nu \bar{\nu} l^+l^-$ (with $l=e,\mu$) are presented. The measured production cross-sections are consistent with the Standard Model expectations. These results update and supersede those already published at 183 and 189 GeV.
