Barber, D.P. ; Becker, U. ; Benda, H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 43 (1979) 901, 1979.
Inspire Record 141542 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20739

This paper reports on the first results of the study of e+e− collisions at s=27.4 GeV and s=27.7 GeV at PETRA, using the 4π-sr electromagnetic and calorimetric detector MARK-J. We obtain an average R=σ(e+e−→hadrons)σ(e+e−→μ+μ−)=3.8±0.3 (statistical)±0.6 (systematic) and a relative R=1.0±0.2 between the two energies. The R values, the measured thrust distribution, and average spherocity show no evidence for the production of new quark flavors.

Hadron jets produced in e + e − annihilation between 13 GeV and 31.6 GeV in c.m. at PETRA are analyzed. The transverse momentum of the jets is found to increase strongly with c.m. energy. The broadening of the jets is not uniform in azimuthal angle around the quark direction but tends to yield planar events with large and growing transverse momenta in the plane and smaller transverse momenta normal to the plane. The simple q q collinear jet picture is ruled out. The observation of planar events shows that there are three basic particles in the final state. Indeed, several events with three well-separated jets of hadrons are observed at the highest energies. This occurs naturally when the outgoing quark radiates a hard noncollinear gluon, i.e., e + e − → q q g with the quarks and the gluons fragmenting into hadrons with limited transverse momenta.

Discovery of Three Jet Events and a Test of Quantum Chromodynamics at PETRA Energies

Inspire Record 142085 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20742

We report the analysis of the spatial energy distribution of data for e+e−→hadrons obtained with the MARK-J detector at PETRA. We define the quantity "oblateness" to describe the flat shape of the energy configuration and the three-jet structure which is unambiguously observed for the first time. Our data can be explained by quantum chromodynamic predictions for the production of quark-antiquark pairs accompanied by hard noncollinear gluons.

X Dependence of the Proton Structure Functions From Inelastic Anti-neutrino - Proton Scattering

Fernandez, E. ; Barnes, V.E. ; Carman, T.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 43 (1979) 1975, 1979.
Inspire Record 8235 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20741

From an analysis of 2275 ν¯p→μ++X0 events at an average Q2 of 4.5 GeV2, there are presented the first measurements, up to one undetermined overall normalization constant, of the x dependence of the proton structure functions using antineutrinos, and of the u and d¯+s¯ quark distributions. The result for u(x) is in good agreement with models based on fits to electron and muon scattering data. With u(x) normalized to those models the absolute antiquark momentum distribution x[d¯x+s¯(x)] in the proton is determined.

A Test of Universality of Charged Leptons

Phys.Rev.Lett. 43 (1979) 1915, 1979.
Inspire Record 142012 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20759

Measurements of the reactions e++e−→e++e−, μ++μ−, and τ++τ− at PETRA energies (s12=13,17,27.4,30 and 31.6 GeV) are reported. The results show that these reactions agree well with the predictions of quantum electrodynamics thus determining that all the known charged leptons are pointlike particles to a distance < × 10−16 cm.

The hadronic final state in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation at c.m. energies of 13, 17 and 27.4 GeV

Inspire Record 142275 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.45234

Results on the hadronic final state in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at 13, 17 and 27.4 GeV are presented. There is no compelling evidence for the existence of the t quark in these data, which are in general agreement with a simple quark parton model. Some tentative indications of QCD effects are observed in the p/sub T//sup 2/ distributions.

In partial wave analyses of the ( π − π − π + ) system, substantial shape changes of the 1 + S ( ϱπ ) intensity as a function of t , and relative phase changes of ≈ 90°, provide compelling evidence for a resonant A 1 of mass ≈ 1280 MeV and width ≈ 300 MeV.

The J PC = 2 −+ partial wave intensities and their large phase changes prove the resonant nature of the A 3 meson (mass ≈ 1670 MeV, width ≈ 210 MeV). The decay modes are f 0 π , ϱ 0 π , and ϵ 0 π . Evidence is found for a further 2 − enhancement.

rivet Analysis
Search for a 'Top' Threshold in Hadronic $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at Energies Between 22-{GeV} and 31.6-{GeV}

Phys.Lett.B 86 (1979) 413-417, 1979.
Inspire Record 142517 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27295

Results on e + e − annihilation into hadrons at c.m. energies between 22 and 31.6 GeV are presented. The data were accumulated with the PLUTO detector at PETRA. The events are dominantly of the two-jet type. The value of the relative hadronic cross section R =3.88 ± 0.22 along with the details of the sphericity and thrust distribution rule out an open (tt̄) channel (Q t = 2 3 ) below 30 GeV. The inclusive muon results support the above conclusion.
