Confirmation of the Existence of the Sigma(c)++ and Lambda(c)+ Charmed Baryons

Baltay, C. ; Caroumbalis, D. ; French, H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 42 (1979) 1721, 1979.
Inspire Record 140761 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.50280

In a broadband neutrino exposure of the Fermilab 15-ft bubble chamber, we observe the production of the Σc++(2426) charmed baryon followed by its decay to Λc+(2260) and π+. We find the mass of the Λc+ to be 2257±10 MeV and the m(Σc++)−m(Λc+) mass difference to be 168±3 MeV. Previously unseen two-body decay modes of the Λc+(2260) are observed.

Measurement of the Relative Total Hadronic Cross-section R at {PETRA}

The Aachen-DESY-Annecy(LAPP)-MIT-NIKHEF-Beijing collaboration Barber, D. ; Becker, U. ; Boehm, A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 42 (1979) 1113, 1979.
Inspire Record 140059 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.3235

We report the first measurement of the ratio R=(σe+e−→hadrons)(σe+e−→μ+μ−) (with negligible τ-lepton contribution) at a center-of-mass energy s=13 GeV and s=17 GeV, from the just finished electron-positron colliding-beam facility PETRA. The detector, MARK-J, has an approximately 4π solid angle and measures γ, e, μ, and charged and neutral hadrons simultaneously. Our results yield R(s=17 GeV)=4.9±0.6 (statistical) ±0.7 (systematic error), and R(s=13 GeV)=4.6±0.5 (statistical) ±0.7 (systematic error). The ratio R(s=17 GeV)R(s=13 GeV) is 1.08±0.18.

Experimental Limits on Heavy Lepton Production by Neutrinos

Cnops, A.M. ; Connolly, P.L. ; Kahn, S.A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 40 (1978) 144-146, 1978.
Inspire Record 121918 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.37905

We present upper limits on the production of heavy leptons (L±) by neutrinos via the process νμ+Ne→L±+⋯, L±→e±+ν+ν¯. These limits imply that the L− and L+, if they couple in full strength to νμ, are heavier than 7.5 and 9 GeV, respectively. They also imply that the coupling strength νμ to the recently discovered 1.9-GeV heavy lepton τ is less than 0.025 of the normal νμ−μ coupling.

Measurement of Rates for Muonless Deep Inelastic Neutrino and anti-neutrino Interactions

Aubert, Bernard ; Benvenuti, A.C. ; Cline, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 32 (1974) 1457, 1974.
Inspire Record 1123 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21890

Relative rates for deep inelastic neutrino and antineutrino scattering without a finalstate muon have been measured. For neutrinos the result is Rν=σ(νμ+nucleon→νμ+hadrons)σ(νμ+nucleon→μ−+hadrons)=0.11±0.05. The corresponding ratio for antineutrinos is Rν¯=0.32±0.09.

Observation of single pion production by a weak neutral current.

Barish, S.J. ; Cho, Y. ; Derrick, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 33 (1974) 448, 1974.
Inspire Record 89586 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.51354

In exposures of the Argonne National Laboratory 12-ft bubble chamber filled with hydrogen and deuterium to a neutrino beam, we have observed events consisting of (1) a single π+ meson originating in the liquid, and (2) a proton with an e+e− pair pointing to it. Only a small fraction of these events can be ascribed to known reactions such as np→nnπ+ and np→npπ0. The remaining events, which correspond to a signal of about 4.5 standard deviations, we ascribe to the reactions νp→νnπ+ and νpπ0.

Further observation of muonless neutrino-induced inelastic interactions.

Aubert, Bernard ; Benvenuti, A.C. ; Cline, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 32 (1974) 1454-1457, 1974.
Inspire Record 882 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21934

We report here additional positive results of a search for muonless neutrino- and anti-neutrino-induced events using an enriched antineutrino beam and a muon identifier of relatively high geometric detection efficiency. The ratio of muonless to muon event rates is observed to be R=0.20±0.05. We observe no background derived from ordinary neutrino or antineutrino interactions that is capable of explaining the muonless signal.
