Abstract

The forward-backward asymmetry of quarks produced in $e^{+}$ $e^{-}$ annihilations, summed over all flavors, is measured at √s between 50 and 60.8 GeV. Methods of determining the charge direction of jet pairs are discussed. The asymmetry is found to agree with the five-flavor standard model.
