The HERA-B collaboration Abt, I. ; Adams, M. ; Agari, M. ; et al.

Eur.Phys.J.C 50 (2007) 315-328, 2007.

Inspire Record 719788 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.43089

The inclusive production cross sections of the strange vector mesons K*0, K*0bar, and phi have been measured in interactions of 920 GeV protons with C, Ti, and W targets with the HERA-B detector at the HERA storage ring. Differential cross sections as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum have been measured in the central rapidity region and for transverse momenta up to pT=3.5 GeV/c. The atomic number dependence is parametrised as sigma(pA) = sigma(pN)*A**alpha, where sigma(pN) is the proton-nucleon cross section. Within the phase space accessible, alpha(K*0) = 0.86+/-0.03, alpha(K*0bar) = 0.87+/-0.03, and alpha(phi) = 0.96+/-0.02. The total proton-nucleon cross sections, determined by extrapolating the differential measurements to full phase space, are sigma(pN->K*0) = 5.06+/-0.54 mb, sigma(pN->K*0bar) = 4.02+/-0.45 mb, and sigma(pN->phi) = 1.17+/-0.11 mb. The Cronin effect is observed for the first time for vector mesons containing strange quarks/ compared to the measurements of Cronin et al. for K+- mesons, the measured values of alpha for phi mesons coincide with those of K- mesons for all transverse momenta, while the enhancement for K*0 / K*0bar mesons is smaller.

Threshold structure of the quasifree p + n --> d + eta reaction.

Calen, H. ; Dyring, J. ; Fransson, K. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 80 (1998) 2069-2072, 1998.

Inspire Record 468434 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19524

The quasifree p+n→d+η reaction cross section has been measured at the threshold using 1295 MeV protons in the CELSIUS storage ring and an internal cluster-jet deuterium target. The kinematics is chosen such that the target proton can be assumed to be a spectator. The Fermi momentum of the target neutron is used to extract the energy dependence of the cross section by reconstructing the kinematics on an event-by-event basis. The data cover excess energies from threshold to 10 MeV in the center of mass of the final dη system. Approaching the threshold the cross section is enhanced compared to what is expected from phase space. This behavior is typical for a strong final-state interaction.

Production of charmonium states in pi- Be collisions at 515-GeV/c

The E672-E706 collaboration Koreshev, V. ; Jesik, R. ; Mendez, H. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 77 (1996) 4294-4297, 1996.

Inspire Record 419626 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42234

We report on χc1 and χc2 production in the Feynman-x range 0.1<xF<0.8 in 515GeV/c π−Be collisions. The χc states are observed via their radiative decays into J/ψ's. The resulting photons are detected either as showers in the electromagnetic calorimeter or after conversion in the target as e+e− pairs in the tracking system. The fraction of J/ψ production due to χc1 and χc2 decays is 0.443±0.041±0.035. The ratio of the χc1 to χc2 cross section is 0.57±0.18±0.06. Our results on J/ψ, ψ(2S), and χc production indicate that 0.454±0.044±0.042 of J/ψ's are produced directly.

A study of electron muon pair production in 450-GeV/c p Be collisions.

Åkesson, T. ; Almehed, S. ; Angelis, A.L. S. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 72 (1996) 429-436, 1996.

Inspire Record 416743 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.12544

We report on the production ofe± μ∓ pairs in 450 GeV/c pBe collisions at the CERN SPS. Theeμ signal, which has average missing energy of 21 GeV, is shown to be consistent with expectations from charm decay, and implies a σ ×B for$c\bar c$ production in p-nucleon collisions of 0.63 ± 0.35μb. Alternatively, using an estimate of charm production from other experiments, the data imply a 95% confidence level upper limit of 1.16μb on any new physics process which producese±μ∓.

The data have been collected with the open geometry spectrometer of the E771 Experiment at the FNAL High Intensity Lab. J ψ , ψ′ and γ total cross sections as well as the ratio B(ψ′ → μμ)σ(ψ′) (B( J ψ → μμ)σ( J ψ )) have been measured. Results are compared with theoretical predictions and with results at other energies.

Inspire Record 395454 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47928

Data from BEBC experiments are combined to provide large statistics for neutrino interactions. ChargedD* mesons are produced in (1.22±0.25)% of neutrino and (1.01±0.31)% of antineutrino charged current interactions. The mean fraction of the hadronic laboratory energy taken by theD*+ in these events is 0.59±0.03±0.08. Less than 18% of all chargedD* mesons from (anti)neutrino interactions are found to be daughters ofD**0 (at the 90% confidence level).

Observation of D(s)** (2536) meson production by neutrinos in BEBC

The Big Bubble Chamber Neutrino collaboration Asratyan, A.E. ; Aderholz, M. ; Ammosov, V.V. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 61 (1994) 563-566, 1994.

Inspire Record 363214 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.14264

Neutrino interactions in BEBC produce theDS** (2536) charmed strange meson. The mass of this state is 2534.2±1.2 MeV. The production rate is 0.011±0.005 per neutrino charged current interaction at a mean neutrino energy of 61 GeV. An earlier claim for another$c\bar s$ bound state near 2565 MeV, produced in neutrino interactions, is not supported.

Production of $J / \psi$ via $\psi^{\prime}$ and $X$ Decay in 300-GeV/c Proton and $\pi^{\pm}$ Nucleon Interactions

The E705 collaboration Antoniazzi, L. ; Arenton, M. ; Cao, Z. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 70 (1993) 383-386, 1993.

Inspire Record 336204 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19754

The production of the χ1 and χ2 states of charmonium has been observed in 300 GeV/c π±N and pN interactions. The fraction of the total inclusive J/ψ production due to radiative χ decay has been determined to be 0.40±0.04, 0.37±0.03, and 0.30±0.04 for the π+, π−, and proton data, respectively. Total cross sections have been obtained of 131±18±14 and 188±30±21 nb/nucleon in the 300 GeV/c π−N interactions for χ1 and χ2 production. By measuring the contributions to the J/ψ production due to both ψ’ and radiative χ decay, the cross sections for direct J/ψ production have been determined to be 97±14, 102±14, and 89±12 nb/nucleon for π+, π−, and protons, respectively.
