Factorial moments and correlations in meson - nucleus interactions at 250-GeV/c

The EHS/NA22 collaboration Botterweck, F. ; Charlet, M. ; Chliapnikov, P.V. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 51 (1991) 37-48, 1991.

Inspire Record 302022 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.40466

A sample of 8000 interactions of 250 GeV/c π+ andK+ mesons on Al and Au nuclei, is used to search for intermittency effects by calculating the normalized factorial moments of order two to four. No significant effect is observed in the higher moments. Two-body rapidity correlations and Bose-Einstein correlations in these interactions are presented.

Measurement of the Total Hadronic Cross-section in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

The MARK-II collaboration Von Zanthier, Christoph ; de Boer, W. ; Grindhammer, Guenter ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 43 (1991) 34-45, 1991.

Inspire Record 295286 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22852

A precise measurement of the ratio R of the total cross section e+e−→hadrons to the pointlike cross section e+e−→μ+μ− at a center-of-mass energy of 29.0 GeV is presented. The data were taken with the upgraded Mark II detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The result is R=3.92±0.05±0.09. The luminosity has been determined with three independent luminosity monitors measuring Bhabha scattering at different angular intervals. Recent calculations of higher-order QED radiative corrections are used to estimate the systematic error due to missing higher-order radiative corrections in the Monte Carlo event generators.

A Search for Elastic Nondiagonal Lepton Pair Production in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

Gomez Cadenas, J.J. ; Heusch, C.A. ; Abrams, G.S. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 66 (1991) 1007-1010, 1991.

Inspire Record 295203 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19918

We have searched for the annihilation of e+e− into the exclusive channels e±τ∓ and μ±τ∓ at √s =29 GeV, using 226 and 133 pb−1, respectively, of data taken with the Mark II detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The resulting candidate sample is compatible with the expected background from τ pair production. Our analysis yields 95%-C.L. cross-section limits of σeτ/σμμ<1.8×10−3 and σμτ/σμμ<6.1×10−3, where σμμ is the QED cross section for production of a lepton pair. This is the first high-Q2 test of lepton-flavor conservation involving τ leptons.

Measurements of Charged Particle Inclusive Distributions in Hadronic Decays of the $Z$ Boson

Abrams, G.S. ; Adolphsen, Chris ; Averill, D. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 64 (1990) 1334, 1990.

Inspire Record 283799 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19999

We have measured inclusive distributions for charged particles in hadronic decays of the Z boson. The variables chosen for study were charged-particle multiplicity, scaled momentum, and momenta transverse to the sphericity axes. The distributions have been corrected for detector effects and are compared with data from e+e− annihilation at lower energies and with the predictions of several QCD-based models. The data are in reasonable agreement with expectations.

Determination of $\alpha^- s$ From a Differential Jet Multiplicity Distribution at {SLC} and {PEP}

Komamiya, Sachio ; Le Diberder, F. ; Abrams, G.S. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 64 (1990) 987, 1990.

Inspire Record 283630 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19937

We measured the differential jet-multiplicity distribution in e+e− annihilation with the Mark II detector. This distribution is compared with the second-order QCD prediction and αs is determined to be 0.123±0.009±0.005 at √s≊MZ (at the SLAC Linear Collider) and 0.149±0.002±0.007 at √s=29 GeV (at the SLAC storage ring PEP). The running of αs between these two center-of-mass energies is consistent with the QCD prediction.

Measurements of Z Boson Resonance Parameters in e+ e- Annihilation

Abrams, G.S. ; Adolphsen, Chris ; Averill, D. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 63 (1989) 2173, 1989.

Inspire Record 281818 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20033

We have measured the mass of the Z boson to be 91.14±0.12 GeV/c2, and its width to be 2.42−0.35+0.45 GeV. If we constrain the visible width to its standard-model value, we find the partial width to invisible decay modes to be 0.46±0.10 GeV, corresponding to 2.8±0.6 neutrino species, with a 95%-confidence-level upper limit of 3.9.

We have measured the mass of the Z boson to be 91.11±0.23 GeV/c2, and its width to be 1.61−0.43+0.60 GeV. If we constrain the visible width to its standard-model value, we find the partial width to invisible decay modes to be 0.62±0.23 GeV, corresponding to 3.8±1.4 neutrino species.

QUARK HADRONIZATION PROBED BY K0 MESONS

The HRS collaboration Abachi, S. ; Derrick, M. ; Kooijman, P. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 41 (1990) 2045, 1990.

Inspire Record 280958 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23000

Total and differential K0 corss sections are presented from e+e− collisions at s=29 GeV in the High Resolution Spectrometer detector. K0 and charged-particle distributions are compared in a study of the hadronization of quarks of known flavor. Ecents of the reaction e+e−→cc¯ are tagged by identifying D*'s while uu¯, dd¯, or ss¯ events are tagged through the identification of a charged particle with fractional momentum near 1. Parton-shower models with cluster and string fragmentation are compared with these data. Also, certain particle scaling tests are performed using the quark-flavor tags. In addition, K0 production in two- and three-jet events is compared to these models.

First Measurements of Hadronic Decays of the $Z$ Boson

Phys.Rev.Lett. 63 (1989) 1558, 1989.

Inspire Record 282670 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20044

We have observed hadronic final states produced in the decays of Z bosons. In order to study the parton structure of these events, we compare the distributions in sphericity, thurst, aplanarity, and number of jets to the predictions of several QCD-based models and to data from lower energies. The data and models agree within the present statistical precision.
