The data collected at these energies correspond to integrated luminosities of 10.0, 1.0 and 9.4 pb −1−1 , respectively.

In combination with previous OPAL searches at center-of-mass energies close to the Z 00 resonance and the revised previous OPAL searches at 161 GeV , we derive a lower limit of 69.4 GeV for the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson at the 95% confidence level.",
