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

Gomez Cadenas, J.J. ; Heusch, C.A. ; Abrams, G.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 66 (1991) 1007-1010, 1991.
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.

Threshold Measurement of the Reaction $\bar{p} p \to \bar{\ell}$ambda $\lambda$ at {LEAR}

Barnes, P.D. ; Besold, R. ; Birien, P. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 229 (1989) 432-438, 1989.
Inspire Record 280159 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29780

The excitation function of the reaction p p→ Λ Λ in the threshold region has been measured at LEAR. Sixteen measurements of the total cross section, in the energy range between 0.85 MeV below threshold and 4.05 MeV above, are presented. The shapes of the measured differential cross sections indicate a remarkably strong p-wave contribution even down to the reaction threshold. We also report here the measurement of significant polarizations in the threshold region; these are compared with previous higher-energy data.

$\Lambda$(c)+ Production and Semileptonic Decay in 29-{GeV} $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation

We present results on Λc+ production in 29-GeV e+e− annihilation. The Λc+ are observed via their semileptonic decays to Λe+X and Λμ+X. With radiative corrections, we find σ(e+e−→Λc+X)〉BΛc+→eΛX)= 1.5±0.6±0.5 pb or 0.0038±0.0015±0.0012 Λc+→Λe+X decay per hadronic event, and σ(e+e−Λc+X)B(Λc+→μΛX)= 1.4±1.4±0.4 pb or 0.0035±0.0035±0.0011 Λc+→Λμ+X decay per hadronic event. These results can be used to place constraints on the predictions of various production models.

Cross sections for charge changing and particle production are measured for 32 S collisions with Al, Fe, Cu, Ag and Pb targets at 200 GeV/ c . The measured difference between the two cross sections is discussed. Results are compared with data obtained with an 16 O beam.

Lambda0 and anti-Lambda0 Production from Proton - anti-Proton Collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The transverse-momentum spectra of lambdas (Λ0, Λ¯0) produced in the central region has been measured in p¯p collisions at s=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Collider. We find that the average transverse momentum of the lambdas increases more rapidly with center-of-mass energy than that of charged particles, and the ratio of lambdas to charged particles increases as a function of center-of-mass energy.

Experimental Study of X Distributions in Semileptonic Neutral Current Neutrino and Anti-neutrino Reactions

The CHARM collaboration Allaby, J.V. ; Amaldi, U. ; Barbiellini, G. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 213 (1988) 554-561, 1988.
Inspire Record 264997 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29877

Using the CHARM detector 36 000 deep inelastic neutral-current reactions of neutrinos (and 2000 of antineutrinos) from the 160 GeV narrow-band beam were recorded. The differential cross section d σ d x in the Bjorken scaling variable x was computed by unfolding the effects of limited acceptance and of resolution of the detector as well as the ambiguity of the energy of the incoming neutrinos (produced by π- or K-decay). Combining the results from the neutrino and antineutrino data, the structure functions F 2 and xF 3 and the antiquark momentum distribution measured via the NC coupling were determined. The distributions are in agreement with the corresponding CC distibutions. Comparisons with deep inelastic muon scattering confirm the universality of nuclear structure functions as probed by the weak and the electromagnetic currents.

η production has been investigated by the Mark II collaboration at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP. η particles are reconstructed by their γγ decay mode. The η fragmentation function has been measured and found to be in good agreement with the Lund-model prediction. η′ production has been measured for the first time in high-energy e+e− annihilation. There is evidence at the 3σ level for Ds± decay into ηπ± and η′π±.

Inclusive ψ production in e+e− annihilation at 29 GeV has been measured with the Mark II detector. The ψ cross section is found to be 1.1±0.5±0.4 pb. After subtraction of the expected contribution from B decay, an upper limit of 0.02σμμ is obtained for other sources of ψ production.
