Determination of the Number of Light Neutrino Species

The ALEPH collaboration Decamp, D. ; Deschizeaux, B. ; Lees, J.P. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 231 (1989) 519-529, 1989.

Inspire Record 282904 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29758

The cross-section for e + e − → hadrons in the vicinity of the Z boson peak has been measured with the ALEPH detector at the CERN Large Electron Positron collider, LEP. Measurements of the Z mass, M z = (91.174±0.070) GeV, the Z width Γ z =(2.68±0.15) GeV, and of the peak hadronic cross-section, σ had peak =(29.3±1.2) nb, are presented. With the constraints of the standard electroweak model, the number of light neutrino species is found to be N v =3.27±0.30. this results rules out of the possibility of a fourth type of light neutrino at 98% CL.

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.

Two Jet Differential Cross-Section in anti-p p Collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

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

Phys.Rev.Lett. 64 (1990) 157, 1990.

Inspire Record 283353 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19998

The two-jet differential cross section d3σ(p¯p→jet 1+jet 2+X)/dEtdη1dη2, averaged over -0.6≤η1≤0.6, at √s =1.8 TeV, has been measured in the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The predictions of leading-order quantum chromodynamics for most choices of structure functions show agreement with the data.

First Measurements of Hadronic Decays of the $Z$ Boson

The MARK-II collaboration Abrams, G.S. ; Adolphsen, Chris ; Aleksan, R. ; et al.

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.
