Abstract
The forward-backward asymmetry of {Mathematical expression} has been measured using approximately 2.15 million hadronic Z0 decays collected at the LEP e+e- collider with the OPAL detector. A lifetime tag technique was used to select an enriched {Mathematical expression} event sample. The measurement of the {Mathematical expression} asymmetry was then performed using a jet charge algorithm to determine the direction of the primary quark. Values of: {Mathematical expression} were measured where, in each case, the first error is statistical, the second is systematic and the third term gives the variation due to a change {Mathematical expression} in the value of {Mathematical expression} assumed..
