AB - A study of W-pair production in e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup> annihilations at LEP is presented, based on 877 W<sup>+</sup>W<sup>-</sup> candidates corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 57pb<sup>-1</sup> at √s = 183 GeV. Assuming that the angular distributions of the W-pair production and decay, as well as their branching fractions, are described by the Standard Model, the W-pair production cross-section is measured to be 15.43 ± 0.61(stat.) ± 0.26(syst.) pb. Assuming lepton universality and combining with our results from lower centre-of-mass energies, the W branching fraction to hadrons is determined to be 67.9 ± 1.2(stat.) ± 0.5(syst.)%. The number of W-pair candidates and the angular distributions for each final state (qqlν<inf>l</inf>, qqqq, lν<inf>l</inf>l′ν<inf>l</inf>′) are used to determine the triple gauge boson couplings. After combining these values with our results from lower centre-of-mass energies we obtain Δκ<inf>γ</inf> = 0.11+<sup>0.52</sup><inf>-0.37</inf>, Δg<sup>z</sup><inf>1</inf> = 0.01<sup>+0.13</sup><inf>-0.12</inf> and λ = -0.10<sup>+0.13</sup><inf>-0.12</inf>, where the errors include both statistical and systematic uncertainties and each coupling is determined by setting the other two couplings to the Standard Model value. The fraction of W bosons produced with a longitudinal polarisation is measured to be 0.242 ± 0.091(stat.) ± 0.023(syst.). All these measurements are consistent with the Standard Model expectations.
