Radiochemical activation techniques were used to study the behavior of projectile fragments formed in the interaction of 44 GeV C12 ions within thick Cu targets. After a short review of the results obtained hitherto with this Cu-target technique, the interaction of 44 GeV C12 with several copper target configurations yielding the deep spallation product Na24 is described. Energetic fragments which are emitted into the laboratory angles 10°≤θ≤45° appear to produce more Na24 (up to nearly one order of magnitude) than calculated with a phenomenological model and an intranuclear cascade model. This enhanced production of Na24 by wide-angle secondaries is only observed for 44 GeV C12 on copper, but not for 25 GeV C12 on copper. Some normalization experiments with 4 GeV He4 and 2.6 GeV p are described.

Cross sections for the reaction pp¯→e+e− have been measured at s=8.9,12.4, and 13.0 GeV2. The cross sections have been analyzed to obtain the proton electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region. We find that GM(q2)∝q−4αs2(q2) for q2≥5 (GeV/c)2.

The total photoproduction cross section is determined from a measurement of electroproduction with the ZEUS detector at HERA. The Q 2 values of the virtual photons are in the range 10 −7 < Q 2 <2×10 −2 GeV 2 . The γp total cross section in the γp centre of mass energy range 186–233 GeV is 154 ± 16 (stat.) ± 32 (syst.) μ b.

Using the 18.8 pb −1 of data accumulated at LEP in 1990 and 1991 with the ALEPH detector, a direct test of neutral current CP -invariance is performed by a search for CP -odd correlations in Z decays to τ pairs where both τ decay modes are identified. No evidence for CP -violation is observed. The weak dipole moment of the τ has been measured to be d τ ( m Z ) = (1.3 ± 1.4 ± 0.1) × 10 −17 e ·cm which results in an upper limit on the weak dipole moment of | d τ ( m Z )| ⩽ 3.7 × 10 −17 e ·cm with 95% confidence level.

Measurements are presented of the inclusive distributions of theJ/Ψ meson produced by muons of energy 200 GeV from an ammonia target. The gluon distribution of the nucleon has been derived from the data in the range 0.04<x<0.36 using a technique based on the colour singlet model. An arbitrary normalisation factor is required to obtain a reasonable integral of the gluon distribution. Some comments are made on the use ofJ/Ψ productionby virtual photons to extract the gluon distribution at HERA.

We have measured the cross-section of the production of single photon events in e + e − collisions near the Z 0 resonance. For an integrated luminosity of 9.6 pb −1 , we have observed 202 single photon candidates with energy between 0.9 and 3.5 GeV in the polar angular region between 45° and 135°. Assuming that the only stable weakly interacting particles are light neutrinos with standard model couplings, we determine the number of light neutrino species to be N v = 3.14 ± 0.24 (stat.)±0.12 (syst.). This corresponds to an invisible Z 0 width of Γ inv = 524 ± 40 ± 20 MeV.

The dielectron yield in p + d and p + p collisions at a beam kinetic energy of 4.9 GeV has been measured using the Dilepton Spectrometer (DLS) at the Bevalac. The measured ratio of the yield in p + d to that in p + p collisions, 1.92±0.06, is in disagreement with the assumptions of model calculations applied to our ealier p +Be data, where it was found that p + n bremsstrahlung dominated other sources. While the measured ratio is consistent with a hadron-like origin of the dielectrons, the contributions of known hadronic decays are smaller than the measured yield from p + p collissions.

Results are presented on the difference in R , the ratio of longitudinally to transversely polarised virtual photon absorption cross sections, for the deuteron and the proton. They are obtained by comparing the ratio of cross sections for the deep inelastic scattering of muons from deuterium and hydrogen targets at 90 and 280 GeV incident energy. The results cover the range x =0.01–0.30, at an average Q 2 of 9 GeV 2 . The measured difference R d - R p shows no significant x dependence and is compatible with zero, as well as with expectations from perturbative QCD. We use the same method to obtain the difference R Ca - R C from cross section ratios measured on carbon and calcium targets at 90 and 200 GeV incident energy.

The polarization of 103 211 Ω− hyperons produced in 800 GeV proton-beryllium inclusive reactions has been measured. Between 0.3<xF<0.7 and 0.5<pt<1.3 GeV/c, the Ω− polarization is found to be consistent with zero, with a mean value of -0.01±0.01 at 〈xF〉=0.5 and 〈pt〉=0.95 GeV/c. This behavior is similar to that of Λ¯0, which also does not have any quarks in common with the incident proton, but is different from Ξ¯+, which is significantly polarized in the same kinematic region.

Inclusive J/ψ and ψ(2S) production has been studied in p¯p collisions at √s =1.8 TeV using 2.6±0.2 pb−1 of data taken with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The products of production cross section times branching fraction were measured as functions of PT for J/ψ→μ+μ− and ψ(2S)→μ+μ−. In the kinematic range PT>6 GeV/c and ‖η‖≤0.5 we get σ(p¯p→J/ψ X)B(J/ψ→μ+μ−) =6.88±0.23(stat)−1.08+0.93(syst) nb, and σ(p¯p→ψ(2S)X)B(ψ(2S)→μ+μ−) =0.232±0.051(stat)−0.032+0.029(syst)nb. From these values we calculate the inclusive b-quark production cross section.
