    abstract = "From a data sample of 9.98 pb(-1) integrated luminosity, collected by
DELPHI at a centre-of-mass energy of 172 GeV, 118 events were selected
as W-pair candidates. From these, the branching fraction Br(W –> q (q)
over bar) was measured to be 0.660(-0.037)(+0.036)(stat.) +/-
0.009(syst.) and the cross-section for the doubly resonant process
e(+)e(-) –> W+W- to be 11.58(-1.35)(+1.44)(stat.) +/- 0.32(syst.) pb.
The mass of the W boson, obtained from direct reconstruction of the
invariant mass of the fermion pairs in the decays WW –> lvq (q) over
bar and WW –> q (q) over bar q (q) over bar, was determined to be m(w)
= 80.22 +/- 0.41(stat.) +/- 0.04(syst.) +/- 0.05(int.) +/- 0.03(LEP)
GeV/c(2), where “int.” denotes the uncertainty from interconnection
effects like colour reconnection and Bose-Einstein interference.
Combined with the W mass obtained from the cross-sections measured by
DELPHI at threshold, a value of m(w) = 80.33 +/- 0.30(stat.) +/-
0.05(syst.) +/- 0.03(int.) +/- 0.03(LEP) GeV/c(2) was found."
