One prong tau decays into charged kaons

The ALEPH collaboration Buskulic, D. ; Casper, D. ; De Bonis, I. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 332 (1994) 209-218, 1994.

Inspire Record 373751 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.68012

Form a sample of about 75000 τ decays measured in the ALEPH detector, 1-prong charged kaon decays are identified by the dE / dx measurement in the central detector. The resulting branching ratios for the inclusive and exclusive modes are: B ( τ → ν τ K − ≥ 0 π 0 ≥ 0 K 0 ) = (1.60±0.07±0.12)%, B ( τ → ν τ K − = (0.64±0.05±0.05)%, B ( τ → ν τ − π 0 = (0.53±0.05±0.07)% and B ( τ → ν τ K − π 0 π 0 ) = (0.04±0.03±0.02)%. Exclusive modes are corrected for measured K L 0 production. The rate for τ → ν τ K − agrees well with the prediction based on τ - μ universality.

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.

An Improved measurement of alpha-s (M (Z0)) using energy correlations with the OPAL detector at LEP

The OPAL collaboration Acton, P.D. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, J. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 276 (1992) 547-564, 1992.

Inspire Record 321657 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29245

We report on an improved measurement of the value of the strong coupling constant σ s at the Z 0 peak, using the asymmetry of the energy-energy correlation function. The analysis, based on second-order perturbation theory and a data sample of about 145000 multihadronic Z 0 decays, yields α s ( M z 0 = 0.118±0.001(stat.)±0.003(exp.syst.) −0.004 +0.0009 (theor. syst.), where the theoretical systematic error accounts for uncertainties due to hadronization, the choice of the renormalization scale and unknown higher-order terms. We adjust the parameters of a second-order matrix element Monte Carlo followed by string hadronization to best describe the energy correlation and other hadronic Z 0 decay data. The α s result obtained from this second-order Monte Carlo is found to be unreliable if values of the renormalization scale smaller than about 0.15 E cm are used in the generator.

Pseudorapidity Distributions of Charged Particles Produced in anti-p p Interactions at s**(1/2) = 630-GeV and 1800-GeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, D. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 41 (1990) 2330, 1989.

Inspire Record 283352 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.52936

We present measurements of the pseudorapidity (η) distribution of charged particles (dNchdη) produced within |η|≤3.5 in proton-antiproton collisions at s of 630 and 1800 GeV. We measure dNchdη at η=0 to be 3.18±0.06(stat)±0.10(syst) at 630 GeV, and 3.95±0.03 (stat)±0.13(syst) at 1800 GeV. Many systematic errors in the ratio of dNchdη at the two energies cancel, and we measure 1.26±0.01±0.04 for the ratio of dNchdη at 1800 GeV to that at 630 GeV within |η|≤3. Comparing to lower-energy data, we observe an increase faster than ln(s) in dNchdη at η=0.

K0(S) PRODUCTION IN ANTI-P P INTERACTIONS AT S**(1/2) = 630-GeV AND 1800-GEV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, D. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.D 40 (1989) 3791-3794, 1989.

Inspire Record 287811 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22999

Measurements of inclusive transverse-momentum spectra for KS0 mesons produced in proton-antiproton collisions at s of 630 and 1800 GeV are presented and compared with data taken at lower energies. The ratio, as a function of pT, of the cross section for KS0 to that for charged hadrons is very similar to what is observed at lower energies. At 1800 GeV, we calculate the strangeness-suppression factor λ=0.40±0.05.
