The angular distribution and the s dependence of the total cross section for the process e + e − → μ + μ − have been measured using the JADE detector at PETRA. After radiative corrections, a forward-backward asymmetry of −(11.8±3.8) % was observed at an average centre of mass energy of 33.5 GeV. For comparison, an asymmetry of −7.8 % is expected on the basis of the standard Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model.

Experimental Limits on the Strength of Weak Neutral Currents in Lepton Pair Production at {PETRA} Energies

The processes e + e − → e + e − and μ + μ − have been studied at PETRA using the JADE detector. The data, which were collected at s -values of up to 1300 GeV 2 have been analysed in terms of an electro-weak extension of QED to obtain values for the weak vector and axial vector couplings in the lepton sector. The values obtained agree with the predictions of the standard Salam-Weinberg model and the data are further analysed in terms of this model to obtain the limits 0.10 < sin 2 ϑ w < 0.40 (68% CL). The mass of the neutral weak gauge boson is deduced to be greater than 51 GeV/ c 2 .

An experiment is described to measure the differential cross section for the charge-exchange reaction K 0 p → K + n from 0.6 to 1.5 GeV/ c incident kaon momentum in the angular range −0.65 < cos θ ∗ < 0.85 The calibration of the kaon beam by observation of K S 0 regeneration is also described. The differential cross sections are fitted with Legendre polynomials and compared with those from the time-reversed reaction using deuterium targets. Qualitative conclusions are drawn on the behaviour of particular charge-exchange amplitudes.
