Search for heavy W boson in 1.8-TeV p anti-p collisions

The D0 collaboration Abachi, S. ; Abbott, B. ; Abolins, M. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 358 (1995) 405-411, 1995.

Inspire Record 400396 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42342

A search for a heavy charged gauge boson, W ′, using the decay channels W ′ → eν and W′ → τν → eνν ν is reported. The data used in the analysis were collected by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during the 1992-93 p p collider run from an integrated luminosity of 13.9 ± 0.8 pb −1 at s =1.8 TeV . Assuming that the neutrino from W ′ decay is stable and has a mass significantly less than m W ′ , an upper limit at the 95% confidence level is set on the cross section times branching ratio for p p → W′ → eν . A W ′ with the same couplings to quarks and leptons as the standard model W boson is excluded for m W ′ < 610 GeV/c 2 .

The W'+- is assumed has the couplings to quarks and leptons as the standard model W and neutrinos produced in WPRIME decay are stable and have a mass significantly less then M(W').

Observation of a narrow state decaying into Xi(c)+ pi-

The CLEO collaboration Avery, P. ; Freyberger, A. ; Lingel, K. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 75 (1995) 4364-4368, 1995.

Inspire Record 397770 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47270

Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we report the first observation of a narrow state decaying into $\Xi_c~+\pi~-$. The state has mass difference $M(\Xi_c~+\pi~-)-M(\Xi_c~+)$ of $178.2\pm0.5\pm1.0$ $\rm{MeV/c~2}$, and a width of $<5.5$ $\rm{MeV/c~2}$ (90\% confidence level limit). The most likely explanation of this new state is that it is the $J=\32$ spin excitation of the $\Xi_c~0$ charmed baryon.

Study of t anti-t production p anti-p collisions using total transverse energy

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Akimoto, H. ; Akopian, A. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.Lett. 75 (1995) 3997, 1995.

Inspire Record 396003 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42358

We analyze a sample of W + jet events collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV to study ttbar production. We employ a simple kinematical variable "H", defined as the scalar sum of the transverse energies of the lepton, neutrino and jets. For events with a W boson and four or more jets, the shape of the "H" distribution deviates by 3.8 standard deviations from that expected from known backgrounds to ttbar production. However this distribution agrees well with a linear combination of background and ttbar events, the agreement being best for a top mass of 180 GeV/c^2.

Measurement of K(L) - K(S) mass difference using semileptonic decays of tagged neutral kaons

Phys.Lett.B 363 (1995) 237-242, 1995.

Inspire Record 398337 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.52370

We present a new measurement of the K L -K S mass difference ( Δm ) using semileptonic decays of neutral kaons. The measurement yields Δm = (0.5274 ± 0.0029 stat. ± 0.0005 syst. ) × 10 10 ħ/s.

We have determined mW=79.91±0.39 GeV/c2 from an analysis of W→eν and W→μν data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p¯p collisions at a c.m. energy of √s =1.8 TeV. This result, together with the world-average Z mass, determines the weak mixing angle to be sin2θW=0.232±0.008. Bounds on the top-quark mass are discussed.

Search for Monochromatic Pion Emission in $\bar{p} p$ Annihilation From Atomic $p$ States

The ASTERIX collaboration Ahmad, S. ; Amsler, Claude ; Armenteros, R. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 152 (1985) 135-139, 1985.

Inspire Record 207457 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.49644

Narrow states observable through the emission of monoenergetic charged pions have been searched for in p p annihilation at rest in a gaseous hydrogen target where annihilation from atomic angular momentum L = 1 states dominates. No structure is observed. The 5σ upper limit for the production of narrow states in the mass range 1100–1670 MeV is 2 × 10 −3 of all annihilations.

Energy Dependence of Jet Measures in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation

The PLUTO collaboration Berger, Christoph ; Genzel, H. ; Grigull, R. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 12 (1982) 297, 1982.

Inspire Record 169193 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.16424

The jet character of the hadronic final states produced ine+e− annihilations is studied in terms of jet measures such as thrust, sphericity, jet opening angle and jet masses, in the energy range 7.7 to 31.6 GeV. All distributions and averages have been corrected for detector effects and initial state radiation. The energy dependence of the averages of these jet quantities is used to estimate the contributions due to perturbative QCD and fragmentation effects. Correlations between the jet measures and the multiplicity of charged hadrons are also presented.
