Measurements of $\alpha^- s$ in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=53$.3-{GeV} and 59.5-{GeV}

We studied the energy-energy correlation (EEC) and its asymmetry (AEEC) using e + e − hadronic annihilation events obtained at √ s =53.3 GeV and 59.5 GeV with the TOPAZ detector at the TRISTAN collider. We used a Monte Carlo simulation combined with the QCD matrix elements by Gottschalk and Shatz and the Lund string fragmentation model. By comparing the experimental data with simulated events, we determined the strong coupling constant α s at both energies. The results are 0.129±0.007 (stat) ±0.010 (syst) at √ s =53.3 GeV and 0.122±0.008 (stat) ±0.010 (syst) at 59.5 GeV.

Measurement of the Processes $e^+ e^- \to e^+ e^-$ and $e^+ e^- \to \gamma \gamma$ at $\sqrt{s}=52$-{GeV}

Differential cross sections for the processes e + e − → e + e − (Bhabha scattering) and e + e − → γγ have been measured with the TOPAZ detector at s =52 GeV . The results agree with the predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The lower limits for the QED cut-off parameters have been obtained to be Λ + ⩾115 GeV and Λ − ⩾236 GeV for Bhabha scattering, and Λ + ⩾94 GeV and Λ − ⩾59 GeV for the reaction e + e − → γγ .

Charge Asymmetry Measurement in $e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\tau^+ \tau^-$ Reactions at $\sqrt{s}=52$-{GeV}

The TOPAZ collaboration Adachi, I. ; Aihara, H. ; Dijkstra, H.B. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 208 (1988) 319-323, 1988.
Inspire Record 251920 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29948

The reactions e + e − → μ + μ − and τ + τ − were measured at s =52 GeV and 55 GeV by using the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. For the combined data, the observed charge asymmetry is −0.29±0.13 and the total cross section is 27.9±3.0 (stat.)±0.8 (syst.) pb for μ + μ − production, and those for τ + τ − production are −0.20±0.14 and 35.7±4.3 (stat.)±2.4 (syst.)pb, respectively. These values are consistent with predictions by the standard model of electroweak interactions.

Search for Top Quark in e+ e- Collisions at s**(1/2) = 52-GeV

The TOPAZ collaboration Adachi, I. ; Aihara, H. ; Dijkstra, H.B. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 60 (1988) 97, 1988.
Inspire Record 251830 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20141

We searched for possible signatures of top-quark production in 508 e+e− hadronic annihilation events collected at s=52 GeV by the TOPAZ detector at the KEK e+e− collider TRISTAN. The observed hadronic cross section and shape of hadronic events are consistent with the standard-model predictions without top quarks. A lower limit (95% confidence level) on the mass of the lightest top meson is set at 25.8 GeV.
