Measurement of the neutron electric form factor G(E,n) in the quasifree H-2(e(pol.),e' n(pol.))p reaction.

Ostrick, M. ; Herberg, C. ; Andresen, H.G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 83 (1999) 276-279, 1999.
Inspire Record 506748 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19444

The electric form factor of the neutron GE,n has been measured in the quasifree 2H(e→,e′n→)p reaction using the 855 MeV polarized cw electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The polarization of the scattered neutrons was analyzed in a polarimeter consisting of two walls of plastic scintillators. The precession of the neutron spin in a magnetic field was used for the first time to circumvent the measurement of the effective analyzing power of the polarimeter and the beam polarization. In this way GE,n could be determined with little model dependence and experimental uncertainties. The result GE,n(0.34GeV2/c2)=0.0611±0.0069stat({+0.0069}{−0.0055})syst is larger than previously assumed.

New measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the positive muon

Carey, R.M. ; Earle, W. ; Efstathiadis, E. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 82 (1999) 1632-1635, 1999.
Inspire Record 500172 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19493

The muon anomalous magnetic moment has been measured in a new experiment at Brookhaven. Polarized muons were stored in a superferric ring, and the angular frequency difference, ωa, between the spin precession and orbital frequencies was determined by measuring the time distribution of high-energy decay positrons. The ratio R of ωa to the Larmor precession frequency of free protons, ωp, in the storage-ring magnetic field was measured. We find R=3.707220(48)×10−3. With μμ/μp=3.18334547(47) this gives aμ+=1165925(15)×10−9 ( ±13ppm), in good agreement with the previous CERN measurements for μ+ and μ− and of approximately the same precision.

Measurement of the proton and deuteron spin structure functions g2 and asymmetry A(2).

The E155 collaboration Anthony, P.L. ; Arnold, R.G. ; Averett, T. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 458 (1999) 529-535, 1999.
Inspire Record 493768 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27072

We have measured the spin structure functions g2p and g2d and the virtual photon asymmetries A2p and A2d over the kinematic range 0.02 < x < 0.8 and 1.0 < Q^2 < 30(GeV/c)^2 by scattering 38.8 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons from transversely polarized NH3 and 6LiD targets.The absolute value of A2 is significantly smaller than the sqrt{R} positivity limit over the measured range, while g2 is consistent with the twist-2 Wandzura-Wilczek calculation. We obtain results for the twist-3 reduced matrix elements d2p, d2d and d2n. The Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule integral - int(g2(x)dx) is reported for the range 0.02 < x < 0.8.

Measurement of gamma p --> K0 Sigma+ at photon energies up to 1.55-GeV.

Inspire Record 512574 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27045

The reaction γp → K 0 Σ + has been measured with the SAPHIR detector at the electron stretcher ring ELSA. The total cross section rises up to a peak value of 1.1 μ b at a photon energy of 1.4 GeV. The differential cross sections dσ/dΩ are consistent with being flat throughout the measured energy range. The first measurement of the Σ + polarization in photon induced reactions was obtained.

Measurement of W and Z boson production cross-sections

The D0 collaboration Abbott, B. ; Abolins, M. ; Abramov, V. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 60 (1999) 052003, 1999.
Inspire Record 494696 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42125

DO has measured the inclusive production cross section of W and Z bosons in a sample of 13 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron. The cross sections, multiplied by their leptonic branching fractions, for production in pbar-p collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV are sigma_W*B(W->e nu) = 2.36+-0.02+-0.08+-0.13 nb, sigma_W*B(W->mu nu) = 2.09+-0.06+-0.22+-0.11 nb, sigma_Z*B(Z->e+ e-) = 0.218+-0.008+-0.008+-0.012 nb, and sigma_Z*B(Z->mu+ mu-) = 0.178+-0.022+-0.021+-0.009 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic; the third reflects the uncertainty in the integrated luminosity. For the combined electron and muon analyses, we find sigma_W*B(W->l mu)/sigma_Z*B(Z->l+ l-) = 10.90+-0.52. Assuming standard model couplings, we use this result to determine the width of the W boson, and obtain Gamma(W) = 2.044+-0.097 GeV.

Measurement of the top quark pair production cross section in the all-jets decay channel

Phys.Rev.Lett. 83 (1999) 1908-1913, 1999.
Inspire Record 494099 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42119

We present a measurement of tbar-t production using multijet final states in pbar-p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV, with an integrated luminosity of 110.3 pb(-1). The analysis has been optimized using neural networks to achieve the smallest expected fractional uncertainty on the tbar-t production cross section, and yields a cross section of 7.1 +/- 2.8(stat.) +/- 1.5(syst.) pb, assuming a top quark mass of 172.1 GeV/c^(2). Combining this result with previous D0 measurements, where one or both of the W bosons decay leptonically, gives a tbar-t production cross section of 5.9 +/- 1.2(stat) +/- 1.1(syst) pb.

Medium effects in kaon and antikaon production in nuclear collisions at subthreshold beam energies.

The KaoS collaboration Laue, F. ; Sturm, Christian Thomas ; Bottcher, I. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 82 (1999) 1640-1643, 1999.
Inspire Record 493975 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31244

Production cross sections of K$^+$ and K$^-$ mesons have been measured in C+C collisions at beam energies per nucleon below and near the nucleon-nucleon threshold. At a given beam energy, the spectral slopes of the K$^-$ mesons are significantly steeper than the ones of the K$^+$ mesons. The excitation functions for K$^+$ and K$^-$ mesons nearly coincide when correcting for the threshold energy. In contrast, the K$^+$ yield exceeds the K$^-$ yield by a factor of about 100 in proton-proton collisions at beam energies near the respective nucleon-nucleon thresholds.

Enhancement of strange and multi-strange baryons and anti-baryons in S W interactions at 200-GeV/c.

The WA85 collaboration Antinori, F. ; Barnes, R.P. ; Bayes, A.C. ; et al.

Inspire Record 500180 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.28123

Strange and multistrange baryon production is expected to be enhanced in heavy ion interactions if a phase transition from hadronic matter to a Quark-Gluon Plasma takes place. The production yields of Λ s, Λ s, Ξ − s, and Ξ + s relative to the production of negative particles are presented for sulphur-tungsten interactions at 200 GeV/ c per nucleon. These production yields are compared to those produced in proton-tungsten interactions and the enhancements of strange and multistrange baryons and antibaryons are presented.
