Beauty Production at the CERN Proton - anti-Proton Collider. 1.

The UA1 collaboration Albajar, C. ; Albrow, M.G. ; Allkofer, O.C. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 186 (1987) 237-246, 1987.

We report evidence for beauty particle production through the observation of dimuon events from proton-antiproton collisions at energies of √ s =546 GeV and √ s =630 GeV at the CERN collider. Our data indicate that semi-leptonic decays of beauty particles are the dominant source of pairs of high- p T muons. The beauty flavour creation (gg or q¯q→b¯b ) cross-section needed to explain the dimuon rate is σ{ p¯p→b¯b +X, p b T 5 GeV/c, |η|<2.0}=(1.1±0.1±0.4) μb, which is in good agreement with QCD calculations. We also observe clear signals for ϒ→μ + μ − (hidden beauty) and high- p T J/ψ→μ + μ − , well above the backgraound of continuum muon pairs from the Drell-Yan mechanism.

Measurement of $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ Real Photoproduction on $^{6}$Li at a Mean Energy of 90-{GeV}

The NA14 collaboration Barate, R. ; Bareyre, P. ; Bloch, D. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 33 (1987) 505, 1987.
Inspire Record 235579 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15814

Inelastic and elasticJ/ψ (3097) photoproduction on Li6 are measured at a mean γ energy of 90 GeV in an open spectrometer. TheJ/ψ are identified by their decays intoμ+μ− ore+e−. A signal of ψ′(3685) intoμ+μ− andJ/ψπ+π− is also seen. The inelastic cross-section withZ=Eψ/Eγ<0.9 is compared in shape and magnitude with the colour singlet model of photon-gluon fusion.

Observation of Octet and Decuplet Hyperons in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at 10-{GeV} Center-of-mass Energy

The ARGUS collaboration Albrecht, H. ; Binder, U. ; Bockmann, P. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 183 (1987) 419-424, 1987.
Inspire Record 236982 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30227

Results on hyperon production are reported for data accumulated at 10 GeV centre-of-mass energy with the ARGUS detector. Signals for both the octet states Λ, Σ 0 and Ξ − and the decuplet states Σ ± (1385), Ξ 0 (1530) and Ω − are observed 1 (references to a specific state are to be interpreted as also implying the charge conjugate state), some for the first time in e + e − annihilation. Baryon rates from γ dir (1S) decays are enhanced by a factor of about 3 over the continuum.

rivet Analysis
Scaling of Pseudorapidity Distributions at c.m. Energies Up to 0.9-TeV

The UA5 collaboration Alner, G.J. ; Ansorge, R.E. ; Asman, B. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 33 (1986) 1-6, 1986.
Inspire Record 233599 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15816

New data are presented on charged particle pseudorapidity distributions for inelastic events produced at c.m. energies\(\sqrt s \)=200 and 900 GeV. The data were obtained at the CERN antiproton-proton Collider operated in a new pulsed mode. The rise of the central density ρ(0) at energies up to\(\sqrt s \)=900 GeV has been studied. A new form of central region scaling is found involving the densityρn(0) for charged multiplicityn, namely that the scaled central densityρn(0)/ρ(0) expressed as a function ofz=n/〈n〉 is independent ofs. Scaling in the fragmentation region holds to 10–20%, and the small amount of scalebreaking observed here could be accommodated within the framework suggested by Wdowcyk and Wolfendale to account for both accelerator and cosmic ray data.

Observation of a 1750-{MeV} Narrow Meson Decaying Into $\eta \eta$

The Serpukhov-Brussels-Los Alamos-Annecy(LAPP) collaboration Alde, D. ; Binon, F. ; Bricman, C. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 182 (1986) 105, 1986.
Inspire Record 233596 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30211

A narrow meson which decays into ηη is observed in 38 GeV/ c π − p collisions at large momentum transfer. The experiment has been performed at the Serpukhov accelerator with the GAMS-2000 spectrometer. The mass of this new meson is (1755 ± 8) MeV, its width is less than 50 MeV. Its spin-parity is J PC =0 ++ or less probably 2 ++ .

Observation of Charge Asymmetry in Hadron Jets From $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

Ash, W. ; Band, H. ; Camporesi, T. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 58 (1987) 1080, 1987.
Inspire Record 231267 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20184

A charge asymmetry has been observed in final-state jets from e+e− annihilation into hadrons at √s =29 GeV. The measured asymmetry is consistent with the prediction of electroweak theory. The product of axial-vector weak coupling constants, averaged over all quark flavors, is determined to be 〈gAegAq〉=-0.34±0.06±0.05.

Angular Distributions for High Mass Jet Pairs and a Limit on the Energy Scale of Compositeness for Quarks from the CERN p anti-p Collider

The UA1 collaboration Arnison, G. ; Albajar, C. ; Albrow, M.G. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 177 (1986) 244-250, 1986.
Inspire Record 230633 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30248

Angular distributions of high-mass jet pairs (180< m 2 J <350 GeV) have been measured in the UA1 experiment at the CERN pp̄ Collider ( s =630 GeV ) . We show that angular distributions are independent of the subprocess centre-of-mass (CM) energy over this range, and use the data to put constraints on the definition of the Q 2 scale. The distribution for the very high mass jet pairs (240< m 2 J <300 GeV) has also been used to obtain a lower limit on the energy scale Λ c of compositeness of quarks. We find Λ c >415 GeV at 95% confidence level.

Tests of Quantum Electrodynamics With 2, 3 and 4 Photon Final States From $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

Fernandez, E. ; Ford, William T. ; Qi, N. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 35 (1987) 1, 1987.
Inspire Record 230165 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23424

High-precision measurements of electron-positron annihilation into final states of two, three, and four photons are presented. The data were obtained with the MAC detector at the PEP storage ring of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV. The measured e+e−→γγ differential cross section is used to test the validity of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in this energy range; it agrees well with QED, and the limit on cutoff parameters for the electron propagator is Λ>66 GeV. The measurement of e+e−→γγγ is used to test the QED calculations of order α3 and to search for anomalies that would indicate the existence of new particles; the agreement with QED is excellent and no anomalies are found. Two events from the reaction e+e−→γγγγ are found, in agreement with the QED prediction.
