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.

Determination of $\alpha^- s$ From a Differential Jet Multiplicity Distribution at {SLC} and {PEP}

Komamiya, Sachio ; Le Diberder, F. ; Abrams, G.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 64 (1990) 987, 1990.
Inspire Record 283630 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19937

We measured the differential jet-multiplicity distribution in e+e− annihilation with the Mark II detector. This distribution is compared with the second-order QCD prediction and αs is determined to be 0.123±0.009±0.005 at √s≊MZ (at the SLAC Linear Collider) and 0.149±0.002±0.007 at √s=29 GeV (at the SLAC storage ring PEP). The running of αs between these two center-of-mass energies is consistent with the QCD prediction.

Measurements of Charged Particle Inclusive Distributions in Hadronic Decays of the $Z$ Boson

Phys.Rev.Lett. 64 (1990) 1334, 1990.
Inspire Record 283799 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19999

We have measured inclusive distributions for charged particles in hadronic decays of the Z boson. The variables chosen for study were charged-particle multiplicity, scaled momentum, and momenta transverse to the sphericity axes. The distributions have been corrected for detector effects and are compared with data from e+e− annihilation at lower energies and with the predictions of several QCD-based models. The data are in reasonable agreement with expectations.

Initial Measurements of Z Boson Resonance Parameters in e+ e- Annihilation

Phys.Rev.Lett. 63 (1989) 724, 1989.
Inspire Record 280007 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20034

We have measured the mass of the Z boson to be 91.11±0.23 GeV/c2, and its width to be 1.61−0.43+0.60 GeV. If we constrain the visible width to its standard-model value, we find the partial width to invisible decay modes to be 0.62±0.23 GeV, corresponding to 3.8±1.4 neutrino species.

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.

Studies of Jet Production Rates in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $e$({CM}) = 29-{GeV}

Inspire Record 277772 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15472

Production rates of multijet hadronic final states are studied ine+e− annihilation at 29 GeV center of mass energy. QCD shower model calculations with exact first order matrix element weighting at the first gluon vertex are capable of reproducing the observed multijet event rates over a large range of jet pair masses. The method used to reconstruct jets is well suited for directly comparing experimental jet rates with parton rates calculated in perturbative QCD. Evidence for the energy dependene of αs is obtained by comparing the observed production rates of 3-jet events with results of similar studies performed at higher center of mass energies.

Measurement of the Total Hadronic Cross-section in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

Inspire Record 295286 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22852

A precise measurement of the ratio R of the total cross section e+e−→hadrons to the pointlike cross section e+e−→μ+μ− at a center-of-mass energy of 29.0 GeV is presented. The data were taken with the upgraded Mark II detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The result is R=3.92±0.05±0.09. The luminosity has been determined with three independent luminosity monitors measuring Bhabha scattering at different angular intervals. Recent calculations of higher-order QED radiative corrections are used to estimate the systematic error due to missing higher-order radiative corrections in the Monte Carlo event generators.

$\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$ Nucleon Charged Current Total Cross Section for 5 GeV to 250-GeV

The ν¯μ charged-current total cross section has been measured with the Fermilab 15-ft bubble chamber plus the external muon identifier and internal "picket fence." Beam monitoring information used for the flux calculation was obtained from Blair et al., whose detector operated in the same dichromatic beam. The present result, averaged over ν¯μ energies from 5 to 250 GeV, is σE=(0.340±0.019±0.022)×10−38 cm2/(GeV nucleon) for an isoscalar target.

A Search for Elastic Nondiagonal Lepton Pair Production in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

Inspire Record 295203 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19918

We have searched for the annihilation of e+e− into the exclusive channels e±τ∓ and μ±τ∓ at √s =29 GeV, using 226 and 133 pb−1, respectively, of data taken with the Mark II detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The resulting candidate sample is compatible with the expected background from τ pair production. Our analysis yields 95%-C.L. cross-section limits of σeτ/σμμ<1.8×10−3 and σμτ/σμμ<6.1×10−3, where σμμ is the QED cross section for production of a lepton pair. This is the first high-Q2 test of lepton-flavor conservation involving τ leptons.

Multi - Hadronic Events at E(c.m.) = 29-GeV and Predictions of QCD Models from E(c.m.) = 29-GeV to E(c.m.) = 93-GeV

Inspire Record 246184 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.4114

Multihadronic e+e− annihilation events at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV have been studied with both the original (PEP 5) Mark II and the upgraded Mark II detectors. Detector-corrected distributions from global shape analyses such as aplanarity, Q2-Q1, sphericity, thrust, minor value, oblateness, and jet masses, and inclusive charged-particle distributions including x, rapidity, p⊥, and particle flow are presented. These distributions are compared with predictions from various multihadron event models which use leading-logarithmic shower evolution or QCD matrix elements at the parton level and string or cluster fragmentation for hadronization. The new generation of parton-shower models gives, on the average, a better description of the data than the previous parton-shower models. The energy behavior of these models is compared to existing e+e− data. The predictions of the models at a center-of-mass energy of 93 GeV, roughly the expected mass of the Z0, are also presented.
