The B0 B¯ 0 average mixing parameter χ has been extracted from eμ and ee events produced in pp¯ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. In a sample of 900 eμ events, the like-sign to opposite-sign charge ratio R is measured to be 0.556±0.048(stat)−0.042+0.035(syst). In the absence of mixing, the expected value of R would be 0.23±0.06. The corresponding number for 212 ee events is 0.573±0.116(stat)±0.047(syst) with an expected nonmixing value of 0.24±0.07. The observed excess in R leads to a combined determination of χ=0.176±0.031(stat+syst) ±0.032 (model), where the last uncertainty is due to Monte Carlo modeling.

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

This letter reports the full reconstruction of B mesons through the decay chain B±→J/ψ K±, J/ψ→μ+μ−, using data obtained at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p¯p collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. This exclusive sample, the first observed at a hadron collider, is then used to measure the B-meson cross section, from which we extract the b-quark cross section. We obtain σ=2.8±0.9 (stat) ±1.1(syst) μb for B− mesons with PT>9.0 GeV/c and rapidity ‖y‖<1.0. We obtain σ=6.1±1.9(stat) ±2.4(syst) μb, for b quarks with transverse momentum PT>11.5 GeV/c and rapidity ‖y‖<1.0.

Measurement of the ratio sigma B (W ---> tau-neutrino) / sigma B (W ---> e neutrino), in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

We have observed over 102 events of the type W→τν followed by τ→ hadrons, where the taus are identified by their decay into one or three charged particles. We measure the cross section times branching ratio for pp¯→W→τν and compare it to the value for W→eν to directly measure the ratio of weak coupling constants gτ/ge. We find gτ/ge=0.97±0.07, consistent with lepton universality.

Measurement of the W P(T) distribution in anti-p p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, Dante E. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 66 (1991) 2951-2955, 1991.
Inspire Record 314225 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19900

Using the Collider Detector at Fermilab, the W-boson differential cross section dσ/dPT is measured using W→eν events in proton-antiproton collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. A next-to-leading-order theoretical calculation agrees well with the data. The cross section (σ) for PT>50 GeV/c is measured to be 423±58(stat)±108(syst) pb.
