Measurement of inclusive particle spectra and test of MLLA prediction in e+ e- annihilation at s**(1/2) = 58-GeV

The TOPAZ collaboration Itoh, R. ; Yamauchi, M. ; Yamaguchi, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 345 (1995) 335-342, 1995.
Inspire Record 381900 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38345

Inclusive momentum spectra are measured for all charged particles and for each of $\pi~{\pm}$, $K~{\pm}$, $K~0/\overline{K~0}$, and $p/\overline{p}$ in hadronic events produced via $e~+e~-$ annihilation at $\sqrt{s}$=58GeV . The measured spectra are compared with QCD predictions based on the modified leading log approximation(MLLA). The MLLA model reproduces the measured spectra well. The energy dependence of the peak positions of the spectra is studied by comparing the measurements with those at other energies. The energy dependence is also well described by the MLLA model.

The TOPAZ collaboration Nakano, E. ; Enomoto, R. ; Iwasaki, M. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 340 (1994) 135-142, 1994.
Inspire Record 39496 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.28532

We have measured, with electron tagging, the forward-backward asymmetries of charm- and bottom-quark pair productions at $\langle \sqrt{s} \rangle$=58.01GeV, based on 23,783 hadronic events selected from a data sample of 197pb$~{-1}$ taken with the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. The measured forward-backward asymmetries are $A_{FB}~c = -0.49 \pm 0.20(stat.) \pm 0.08 (sys.)$ and $A_{FB}~b = -0.64 \pm 0.35(stat.) \pm 0.13 (sys.)$, which are consistent with the standard model predictions.

Measurement of the total hadronic cross-section and determination of gamma - Z interference in e+ e- annihilation

The TOPAZ collaboration Miyabayashi, K. ; Adachi, I. ; Fujii, K. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 347 (1995) 171-178, 1995.
Inspire Record 381777 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38368

The total hadronic cross section in e + e − annihilation was measured at s =5.77 GeV to be σ h = 143.6 ± 1.5 (stat) ± 3.5 (sys) pb with only the QED corrections. The measurement was based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 90.8 pb −1 accumulated by the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. Our data point put stringent constraints on the size of the γ - Z 0 interference and the Z 0 mass. Combining our data with the OPAL data at LEP, we obtained the coefficient of the interference and the Z 0 mass to be J had = 0.10 ± 0.26 and M z = 91.151 ± 0.008 GeV, respectively, in a model-independent analysis.

Determination of the strong coupling constant from jet rates in deep inelastic scattering

The H1 collaboration Ahmed, T. ; Aid, S. ; Andreev, V. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 346 (1995) 415-425, 1995.
Inspire Record 380945 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.45050

Jet rates in deep inelastic electron proton scattering are studied with the H1 detector at HERA for momentum transfers squared between 10 and 4000 GeV 2 . It is shown that they can be quantitatively described by perturbative QCD in next to leading order making use of the parton densities of the proton and with the strong coupling constant α s as a free parameter. The measured value, α s ( M Z 2 ) = 0.123 ± 0.018, is in agreement both with determinations from e + e − annihilation at LEP using the same observable and with the world average.

Search for the top quark decaying to a charged Higgs boson in anti-p p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

Phys.Rev.Lett. 73 (1994) 2667-2671, 1994.
Inspire Record 383998 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.50929

We present the results of a search in p¯p collisions at s=1.8 TeV for the top quark decaying to a charged Higgs boson (H±). We search for dilepton final states from the decay chain tt¯→HH (or HW, or WW) + bb¯→ll+X. In a sample of 19.3 pb−1 collected during 1992-93 with the Collider Detector at Fermilab, we observe 2 events with a background estimation of 3.0 ± 1.0 events. Limits at 95% C.L. in the (Mtop,MH±) plane are presented. For the case Mtop<MW+Mb, we exclude at 95% C.L. the entire (Mtop,MH±) plane for the branching ratio B(H→τν) larger than 75%. We also interpret the results in terms of the parameter tan β of two-Higgs-doublet models.

Measurement of inclusive electron cross-section in gamma gamma collisions at TRISTAN

The TOPAZ collaboration Iwasaki, M. ; Enomoto, R. ; Hayashii, H. ; et al.

Inspire Record 378075 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.43778

We have studied open charm production in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions with the TOPAZ detector at the TRISTAN $e~{+}e~{-}$ collider. In this study, charm quarks were identified by electrons (and positrons) from semi-leptonic decays of charmed hadrons. The data corresponded to an integrated luminosity of 95.3 pb$~{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 58 GeV. The results are presented as the cross sections of inclusive electron production in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions with an anti-tag condition, as well as the subprocess cross sections, which correspond to resolved-photon processes. The latter were measured by using a sub-sample with remnant jets. A comparison with various theoretical predictions based on direct and resolved-photon processes showed that our data prefer that with relatively large gluon contents in a photon at small $x (x \le 0.1)$, with the next-to-leading order correction, and with a charm-quark mass of 1.3 GeV.

Measurement of the B meson and b quark cross-sections at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV using the exclusive decay B0 ---> J / psi K*0 (892)

Inspire Record 382305 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.51050

This paper reports the measurement of the B meson and b quark cross sections through the decay chain B0→J/ψ K*(892)0, J/ψ→μ+μ−, K*(892)0→K+π−, using 4.3 pb−1 of data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p¯p collisions at qrts=1.8 TeV. We obtain σB=1.5±0.7(stat)±0.6(syst) μb for B0 mesons with transverse momentum PT>9.0 GeV/c and rapidity ‖y‖<1.0. Using this result, we find σb=3.7±1.6(stat)±1.5(syst) μb for b quarks with PT>11.5 GeV/c and rapidity ‖y‖<1.0. The b quark cross section is compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations and previous measurements.

We present the first measurement of the left-right asymmetry in Bhabha scattering with a polarized electron beam. The effective electron vector and axial vector couplings to the Z0 are extracted from a combined analysis of the polarized Bhabha scattering data and the left-right asymmetry previously published by this collaboration.

Measurement of alpha-s (M(Z)**2) from hadronic event observables at the Z0 resonance

The SLD collaboration Abe, K. ; Abt, I. ; Ahn, C.J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 51 (1995) 962-984, 1995.
Inspire Record 378545 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22450

The strong coupling alpha_s(M_Z^2) has been measured using hadronic decays of Z^0 bosons collected by the SLD experiment at SLAC. The data were compared with QCD predictions both at fixed order, O(alpha_s^2), and including resummed analytic formulae based on the next-to-leading logarithm approximation. In this comprehensive analysis we studied event shapes, jet rates, particle correlations, and angular energy flow, and checked the consistency between alpha_s(M_Z^2) values extracted from these different measures. Combining all results we obtain alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1200 \pm 0.0025(exp.) \pm 0.0078(theor.), where the dominant uncertainty is from uncalculated higher order contributions.

K0 (anti-K0) production in two photon processes at TRISTAN

Phys.Lett.B 341 (1994) 238-244, 1994.
Inspire Record 377805 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38385

We have carried out an inclusive measurement of $K~0(\overline{K~0})$ production in two-photon processes at TRISTAN. The mean $\sqrt{s}$ was 58 GeV and the integrated luminosity was 199 pb$~{-1}$. High-statistics $K_s$ samples were obtained under such conditions as no-, anti-electron, and remnant-jet tags. The remnant-jet tag, in particular, allowed us, for the first time, to measure the cross sections separately for the resolved-photon and direct processes.
