Data on inclusive kaon production in e+e− annihilations at energies in the vicinity of the ϒ(4S) resonance are presented. A clear excess of kaons is observed on the ϒ(4S) compared to the continuum. Under the assumption that the ϒ(4S) decays into BB¯, a total of 3.38±0.34±0.68 kaons per ϒ(4S) decay is found. In the context of the standard B-decay model this leads to a value for (b→c)(b→all) of 1.09±0.33±0.13.

Observation of a Fourth Upsilon State in e+ e- Annihilations

A fourth state in the upsilon energy region has been seen in e+e− collisions at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. A resonance is observed with a mass 1112±5 MeV above the lowest upsilon state. The 9.6-MeV rms width is greater than the 4.6-MeV energy resolution of the e+e− beams. The observed characteristics of the new state make it a likely candidate for the 4S3 state of the bb¯ system, lying above the threshold for the production of B mesons.

Observation of Three Upsilon States

Three narrow resonances have been observed in e+e− annihilation into hadrons at total energies between 9.4 and 10.4 GeV. Measurements of mass spacing and ratios of lepton pair widths support the interpretation of these "ϒ" states as the lowest triplet-S levels of the bb¯ quark-antiquark system.

PHOTOPRODUCTION OF eta MESONS AT 9.7-GeV

Inspire Record 132567 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24307

Inclusive η photoproduction has been studied at 9.7 GeV, on hydrogen and deuterium targets. A simple, parameter-free ρ0-dominance model adequately fits the forward cross sections, but overestimates the cross section at large momentum transfer.

Experimental Study of Nuclear Shadowing in Photoproduction

Inspire Record 124559 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20970

The total cross section for hadron production by high-energy photons has been measured from a number of nuclei ranging from hydrogen to uranium. Some shadowing is observed at a level considerably less than predicted by conventional vector-meson dominance but consistent with a modified theory. The energy dependence predicted by vectormeson dominance is observed. The shadowing in heavy nuclei shows a smooth transition from electroproduction to photoproduction.

Inelastic Photoproduction of omega and rho+- Mesons

Phys.Rev.D 17 (1978) 647, 1978.
Inspire Record 4373 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24401

We report measurements of inelastic photoproduction of ω and ρ± mesons from hydrogen and deuterium at incident photon energies in the range 7.5-10.5 GeV. For ωΔ and ρ−Δ++ production, differential cross sections dσdt′ and spin density matrices are presented. For higher missing masses the cross sections dσdMX2 and invariant structure functions F(x) are also given. The data are compared to a one-pion-exchange model. We conclude that pion exchange is dominant for inelastic ω photoproduction, but unimportant for ρ±.

Rho+- Photoproduction at 9.6-GeV

Inspire Record 108497 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21105

ρ± photoproduction from hydrogen and deuterium at 9.6 GeV is studied. The reactions γp→ρ+n and γp→ρ−Δ++(1236) have cross sections much larger than expected from pion exchange alone. t distributions do not show the sharp forward peak characteristic of one-pion exchange contributions. Density matrices indicate an isotropic decay distribution. The ratio of ρ+ to ρ− production on deuterium differs from unity and by the amount expected from interference between ρ and A2 exchanges. We conclude that π exchange is unimportant for ρ± photoproduction, and infer that ρ exchange dominates.

Elastic Photoproduction of omega Mesons from Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Complex Nuclei

Inspire Record 108496 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21101

We have studied ω photoproduction using 7.5- to 10.5-GeV tagged photons. Cross sections from hydrogen lie 22% below the bubble chamber results of Ballam et al., but have a similar slope. Density matrices indicate approximate s-channel helicity conservation. The proton-neutron cross-section difference is midway between zero and the value suggested by the γp−γn total-cross-section difference. Fits to the cross sections for D, Be, and Cu and those for Be, C, Al, Cu, and Pb from a previous experiment yield σωN=25.4±2.7 mb and γω24π=7.6±1.2.

The product of the photoproduction cross section at 11.1 GeV for ψ(3105) on nucleons times the branching ratio for ψ into e+e− is less than 75 pb, at the 90% confidence level. This result implies a ψ-nucleon total cross section of less than 1.2 mb.
