Yields and phase space distributions of φ -mesons emitted from p+p (minimum bias trigger), p+Pb (at various centralities) and central Pb+Pb collisions are reported ( E beam =158 A GeV). The decay φ →K + K − was used for identification. The φ / π ratio is found to increase by a factor of 3.0±0.7 from inelastic p+p to central Pb+Pb. Significant enhancement in this ratio is also observed in subclasses of p+p events (characterized by high charged-particle multiplicity) as well as in the forward hemisphere of central p+Pb collisions. In Pb+Pb no shift or significant broadening of the φ -peak is seen.

Two measurements of B0 anti-B0 mixing

The CLEO collaboration Bartelt, John E. ; Csorna, S.E. ; Egyed, Z. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 71 (1993) 1680-1684, 1993.
Inspire Record 354226 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47247

We have measured the B0B¯0 mixing probability, χd, using a sample of 965 000 BB¯ pairs from Υ(4S) decays. Counting dilepton events, we find χd=0.157±0.016±0.018−0.021+0.028. Using tagged B0 events, we find χd=0.149±0.023±0.019±0.010. The first (second) error is statistical (systematic). The third error reflects a ±15% uncertainty in the assumption, made in both cases, that charged and neutral B pairs contribute equally to dilepton events. We also obtain a limit on the CP impurity in the Bd0 system, ‖Re(εB0)‖<0.045 at 90% C.L.

Mixing parameter from counting dilepton events. CONST(N=MIXING PARAM) = 1/(1 - LAMBDA(C,N)) * (N(2LEPTON+) + N(2LEPTON-))/(N(LEPTON+,LEPTON-) + N(2LEPTON+) + N(2LEPTON-)). LAMBDA(C,N) is the fraction of dilepton events coming from B+B- decays, LAMBDA(C,N) = f(B+)*Br(B+)**2/(f(B+)*Br(B+)**2 + f(B0)*Br(B0)**2), where f(B+),f(B0) are the productiron fractions of the charged and neutral B's at the UPSI(4S), and Br(B+), Br(B0) are the semileptonic brancing fractions.

Evidence for Local Compensation of Baryon Number in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation

The TASSO collaboration Althoff, M. ; Braunschweig, W. ; Kirschfink, F.J. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 139 (1984) 126-132, 1984.
Inspire Record 199469 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27109

We have studied at CM energies of 14, 22 and 30–36.7 GeV e + e − annihilation events in which the hadronic final state contains both a proton and an antiproton in the momentum range 1.0 < p < GeV/ c . We find that such pairs are produced predominantly in the same jet and conclude that baryon-antibaryon production is dominated by a mechanism involving local compensation of baryon number.
