A Determination of the strong coupling constant alpha-s from W production at the CERN p anti-p collider

The UA2 collaboration Alitti, J. ; Ambrosini, G. ; Ansari, R. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 263 (1991) 563-572, 1991.
Inspire Record 315374 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29394

The large sample of W→eν events collected by the UA2 experiment at the CERN pp̄ collider between 1988 and 1990 has been used to determine the strong coupling constant α s . From a measurement of the ratio of the production rate of W events with one jet to that with no jets, α s has been extracted to second order in the MS ̄ scheme: α s (M 2 w )=0.123±0.0.18( stat .)±0.017 ( syst .) .

A Study of multi - jet events at the CERN anti-p p collider and a search for double parton scattering

The UA2 collaboration Alitti, J. ; Ambrosini, G. ; Ansari, R. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 268 (1991) 145-154, 1991.
Inspire Record 317817 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29361

A study of events containing at least four high transverse momentum jets and a search for double parton scattering (DPS) have been performed using data collected with the UA2 detector at the CERN p p Collider (√ s =630 GeV). The results are in good agreement with leading order QCD calculations. A value of σ DPS <0.82 nb at 95% confidence level (CL) is obtained for the DPS cross section.

Inclusive jet cross-section and a search for quark compositeness at the CERN $\bar{p} p$ collider

The UA2 collaboration Alitti, J. ; Ansari, R. ; Autiero, D. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 257 (1991) 232-240, 1991.
Inspire Record 302588 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29493

The inclusive jet cross-section has been measured at the CERN p p Collider ( s = 630 GeV ) as a function of the jet transverse momentum ( p T ) and pseudorapidity ( η ) for p T values up to 180 GeV and for−2< η <2. The results are consistent with leading order QCD calculations, and a lower limit Λ c >825 GeV (95% CL ) is set on the quark compositeness scale Λ c .

A Measurement of two jet decays of the W and Z bosons at the CERN anti-p p collider

The UA2 collaboration Alitti, J. ; Ansari, R. ; Ansorge, R.E. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 49 (1991) 17-28, 1991.
Inspire Record 298412 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15084

A study of the two-jet mass spectrum measured with the UA 2 calorimeter has revealed a signal from hadronic decays ofW andZ bosons above a large background. Production and decay properties of the signal have been measured. The combined production cross-section σ·B(W, Z → two jets) is 9.6±2.3 (stat.)±1.1 (syst.) nb, compared with an expectation of 5.8 nb calculated to order αs2. A limit on the production cross-section of additional heavy vector bosons decaying into two jets is given as a function of the boson mass.

Measurement of the gluon structure function from direct photon data at the CERN anti-p p collider

The UA2 collaboration Alitti, J. ; Ambrosini, G. ; Ansari, R. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 299 (1993) 174-182, 1993.
Inspire Record 341576 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.48424

A measurement of the gluon structure fusion using direct photon events observed with the UA2 detector in p p collisions at √ s =630 GeV is presented. The x -range covered by this analysis is between 0.049 and 0.207 and the Q 2 range is between 280 GeV 2 and 3670 GeV 2 . The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 7.14 pb −1 . The results are found to be in good agreement with the gluon distributions measured in deep inelastic scattering experiments extrapolated to the UA2 Q 2 values.
