Inclusive chi(c) and b quark production in anti-p p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

Inspire Record 357240 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19721

We report the full reconstruction of χc mesons through the decay chain χc→J/ψ γ, J/ψ→μ+μ−, using data obtained at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in 2.6±0.2 pb−1 of p¯p collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. This exclusive χc sample is used to measure the χc-meson production cross section times branching fractions. We obtain σ×B=3.2±0.4(stat)−1.1+1.2(syst) nb for χc mesons decaying to J/ψ with pT>6.0 GeV/c and pseudorapidity ‖η‖<0.5. From this and the inclusive J/ψ cross section we calculate the inclusive b-quark cross section to be 12.0±4.5 μb for pTb>8.5 GeV/c and ‖yb‖<1.

Phys.Rev.C 49 (1994) 314-319, 1994.
Inspire Record 356615 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38156

Dielectron production in p+d and p+p collisions at the beam kinetic energy of 4.9 GeV has been measured with the Dilepton Spectrometer. Features of the dielectron cross section have been studied with cuts on the mass and transverse momentum of the pairs. The spectra for several regions of phase space are presented as a function of the pair mass and transverse momentum.

Reaction pi+ p ---> pi+ pi0 p near threshold and chiral symmetry breaking

Pocanic, D. ; Frlez, E. ; Assamagan, K.A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 72 (1994) 1156-1159, 1994.
Inspire Record 364090 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19682

We have measured total cross sections for the reaction π+p→π+π−p at incident pion kinetic energies of 190, 200, 220, 240, and 260 MeV. We use this result to deduce a new value of the chiral symmetry breaking parameter, ξ=-0.25±0.10, in a global constrained fit of the five ππN near-threshold amplitudes. Consequently, we report new soft pion model values for the s-wave ππ scattering lengths.

Search for quark compositeness, axigluons and heavy particles using the dijet invariant mass spectrum observed in p anti-p collisions

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Albrow, Michael G. ; Akimoto, H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 71 (1993) 2542-2546, 1993.
Inspire Record 356676 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19713

The dijet invariant mass distribution has been measured in the region between 140 and 1000 GeV/c2, in 1.8 TeV p p¯ collisions. Data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab show agreement with QCD calculations. A limit on quark compositeness of Λc>1.3 TeV is obtained. Axigluons with masses between 240 and 640 GeV/c2 are excluded at 95% C.L. if we assume ten open decay channels. Model-independent limits on the production of heavy particles decaying into two jets are also presented.

We present a measurement of the b-quark cross section in 1.8 TeV p-p¯ collisions recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab using muonic b-quark decays. In the central rapidity region (‖yb‖<1.0), the cross section is 295±21±75 nb (59±14±15 nb) for pTb>21 GeV/c (29 GeV/c). Comparisons are made to previous measurements and next-to-leading order QCD calculations.

Polarization of $\Sigma^+$ and $\bar{\Sigma^-}$ Hyperons Produced by 800-GeV/c Protons

The E761 collaboration Morelos Pineda, Antonio ; Albuquerque, I.F. ; Bondar, N.F. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 71 (1993) 2172-2175, 1993.
Inspire Record 356301 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19722

We have mesured the polarization of 375-GeV/c Σ+ and Σ¯ − hyperons produced by 800-GeV/c protons incident on a Cu target. We find that the Σ+ polarization rises with increasing pt to a maximum of 16% at pt=1.0 GeV/c and then decreases to 10% at pt=1.8 GeV/c. We compare this Σ+ polarization with data at lower energies. The Σ¯ − polarization has been measured for the first time. It has the same sign as the Σ+ but smaller magnitude in a similar kinematical region.

Search for excited electrons using the ZEUS detector

Inspire Record 355574 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.45106

This paper reports a search for excited electrons at the HERA electron-proton collider. In a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 26 nb − , no evidence was found for any resonant state decaying into e − γ , ν W − or e − Z 0 . Limits on the coupling strength of an excited electron have been determined for masses between 45 and 225 GeV. This study also reports the observation of the wide-angle e γ Compton scattering process.

Evidence of the Cabibbo Suppressed Decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to p K^- K^+$

The E687 collaboration Frabetti, P.L. ; Cheung, H.W.K. ; Cumalat, John P. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 314 (1993) 477-481, 1993.
Inspire Record 356600 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42675

We report evidence for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay of the charm baryon Λ c + into the final state pK − K + . The analysis is performed on data collected by high energy photoproduction experiment E687 during the 1990–1991 Fermilab fixed target run. The branching ratio of the decay Λ c + → pK − K + relative to the non-suppressed Λ c + → pK − π + is measured to be BR( pK − K + / pK − π + ) = 0.096 ± 0.029 ± 0.010. The upper limit of the decay into pø relative to the inclusive pK − K + decay is measured to be BR( pø / pK − K + < 58% at the 90% confidence level.
