Measurement of Standard Model Processes in
e+e- Collisions at 192-202 GeV
Based on the analysis of about 200 pb^-1 of data recorded at
centre-of-mass energies between 192-202 GeV with the OPAL
detector at LEP, several preliminary measurements and comparisons
with the Standard Model expectations are described. In particular,
results on cross-sections for hadronic, lepton pair, and multi-photon
final states and on forward-backward asymmetries for the leptonic
final states are presented. These results are used to determine the
electromagnetic coupling constant alpha_em at LEP2 energies and
to put limits on new physics. Preliminary determinations of the
cross-sections for WW and ZZ production are described. QCD studies
of hadronic decays are also presented. All results are consistent
with Standard Model expectations.
