Three different methods are used for extraction Alphas value (see text for details). Systematical errors with C=HADR and C=THEOR are due to hadronization correction and theoretical uncertainties.


Charge changing cross-sections of the neutron rich isotopes Li-8, Li-9, Li-11

Blank, B. ; Gaimard, J.J. ; Geissel, H. ; et al.
Z.Phys.A 343 (1992) 375-379, 1992.
Inspire Record 333513 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.16579

Total charge-changing cross sections have been measured for8Li on C and Pb targets, for9Li on C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb targets, as well as for11Li on C, Sn and Pb targets at about 80 MeV/nucleon. These data are compared to measured total reaction cross sections and Glauber-type calculations using Hartree-Fock density distributions. These comparisons allow to draw conclusions on the proton density distribution of the neutronrich lithium isotopes. The results show that even for the most exotic nucleus11Li the proton distribution is only very weakly influenced by the long tail in the neutron density distribution already established in several experiments.

Local particle densities and global multiplicities in central heavy ion interactions at 3.7-A/GeV, 14.6-A/GeV, 60-A/GeV and 200-A/GeV

The EMU01 collaboration Adamovich, M.I. ; Aggarwal, M.M. ; Alexandrov, Y.A. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 56 (1992) 509-520, 1992.
Inspire Record 334794 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.9290

The energy and centrality dependence of local particle pseudorapidity densities as well as validity of various parametrizations of the distributions are examined. The dispersion, σ, of the rapidity density distribution of produced particles varies slowly with centrality and is 0.80, 0.98, 1.21 and 1.41 for central interactions at 3.7, 14.6, 60 and 200A GeV incident energy, respectively, σ is found to be independent of the size of the interacting system at fixed energy. A novel way of representing the window dependence of the multiplicity as normalized variance versus inverse average multiplicity is outlined.

Studies of hadronic event structure and comparisons with QCD models at the Z0 resonance

The L3 collaboration Adeva, B. ; Adriani, O. ; Aguilar-Benitez, M. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 55 (1992) 39-62, 1992.
Inspire Record 334954 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.14566

The structure of hadronic events fromZ0 decay is studied by measuring event shape variables, factorial moments, and the energy flow distribution. The distributions, after correction for detector effects and initial and final state radiation, are compared with the predictions of different QCD Monte Carlo programs with optimized parameter values. These Monte Carlo programs use either the second order matrix element or the parton shower evolution for the perturbative QCD calculations and use the string, the cluster, or the independent fragmentation model for hadronization. Both parton shower andO(α2s matrix element based models with string fragmentation describe the data well. The predictions of the model based on parton shower and cluster fragmentation are also in good agreement with the data. The model with independent fragmentation gives a poor description of the energy flow distribution. The predicted energy evolutions for the mean values of thrust, sphericity, aplanarity, and charge multiplicity are compared with the data measured at different center-of-mass energies. The parton shower based models with string or cluster fragmentation are found to describe the energy dependences well while the model based on theO(α2s calculation fails to reproduce the energy dependences of these mean values.

Unfolded Thrust distribution. Statistical error includes statistical uncertainties of the data as well as of the unfolding Monte Carlo Sample. The systematic error combines the uncertainties of measurements and of the unfolding procedure.

Unfolded Major distribution where Major is defined in the same way as Thrust but is maximized in a plane perpendicular to the Thrust axis.

Unfolded Minor distribution where the minor axis is defined to give an orthonormal system.

Inspire Record 334018 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29224

Using the detector ARGUS at the storage ring DORIS II of DESY, we have found evidence for the production of the charmed and doubly strange baryon Ω c through its decay channel Ξ − K − π + π + . Its mass has been determined to be ((2719.0±7.0±2.5)MeV/ c 2 , and the product of production cross section and branching ratio the above channel to be (2.41±0.90±0.30) pb.

Nucleon structure functions from high energy neutrino interactions

Oltman, E. ; Auchincloss, Priscilla S. ; Blair, R.E. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 53 (1992) 51-71, 1992.
Inspire Record 335706 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.1433

Structure functions obtained from high energy neutrino and antineutrino scattering from an iron target are presented. These were extracted from the combined data of Fermilab experiments E616 and E701; these utilized narrow band beam runs between 1979–1982. The structure functions are used to test the validity of quarkparton model (QPM) predictions and to extract the QCD scale parameter Λ from fits to the Altarelli-Parisi equations.

A Measurement of the production and muonic decay rate of W and Z bosons in p anti-p collisions at S**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, Dante E. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 69 (1992) 28-32, 1992.
Inspire Record 334085 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19817

An analysis of proton-antiproton collisions at √s =1.8 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) yields σ(pp¯→WX)B(W→μν)=2.21±0.22 nb and σ(pp¯→ZX)B(Z →μ+μ−)=0.226±0.032 nb. The ratio is Rμ=σWB(W→μν)/σZB(Z→μ+μ−)=9.8±1.2. Combining with previous CDF electron results gives σWB(W→lν)=2.20±0.20 nb, σZB(Z→l+l−)=0.214±0.023 nb, and Rl=10.0±0.8. We extract the ratios of the coupling constants gμ/ge and gτ/gμ. Using standard model assumptions we deduce the inverse branching ratio B−1(W→lν), the width Γ(W), and a decay-mode-independent lower bound on the top quark mass of 45 GeV/c2 (95% C.L.).

Properties of hadronic Z decays and test of QCD generators

The ALEPH collaboration Buskulic, D. ; Decamp, D. ; Goy, C. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 55 (1992) 209-234, 1992.
Inspire Record 334577 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.1420

Distributions are presented of event shape variables, jet roduction rates and charged particle momenta obtained from 53 000 hadronicZ decays. They are compared to the predictions of the QCD+hadronization models JETSET, ARIADNE and HERWIG, and are used to optimize several model parameters. The JETSET and ARIADNE coherent parton shower (PS) models with running αs and string fragmentation yield the best description of the data. The HERWIG parton shower model with cluster fragmentation fits the data less well. The data are in better agreement with JETSET PS than with JETSETO(αS2) matrix elements (ME) even when the renormalization scale is optimized.

Determination of alpha-s from hadronic event shapes measured on the Z0 resonance

The L3 collaboration Adrian, O. ; Aguilar-Benitez, M. ; Ahlen, S. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 284 (1992) 471-481, 1992.
Inspire Record 334951 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29157

We present a study of the global event shape variables thrust and heavy jet mass, of energy-energy correlations and of jet multiplicities based on 250 000 hadronic Z 0 decays. The data are compared to new QCD calculations including resummation of leading and next-to-leading logarithms to all orders. We determine the strong coupling constant α s (91.2 GeV) = 0.125±0.003 (exp) ± 0.008 (theor). The first error is the experimental uncertainty. The second error is due to hadronization uncertainties and approximations in the calculations of the higher order corrections.
