We present the first measurement of the left-right cross section asymmetry (ALR) for Z boson production by e+e− collisions. The measurement was performed at a center-of-mass energy of 91.55 GeV with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider which utilized a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The average beam polarization was (22.4±0.6)%. Using a sample of 10 224 Z decays, we measure ALR to be 0.100±0.044(stat)±0.004(syst), which determines the effective weak mixing angle to be sin2θWeff=0.2378 ±0.0056(stat)±0.0005(syst).

Using the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we have observed the D s 1 (2536) + in the decay modes D s1 + →D ∗0 K + and D ∗+ K S + , and measured its fragmentation and production ratios. Using the helicity angle distribution of the daugter D ∗0 , we obtain new evidence for the assignment of 1 + for the spin and parity of the D s 1 + . We also set upper limits on the decays D s1 + →D s ∗+ λ, D 0 K + and D + K s 0 .

Measurement of the inclusive B* cross-section above the Upsilon (4S)

The CLEO-II collaboration Akerib, D.S. ; Barish, B. ; Cowen, D.F. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 67 (1991) 1692-1695, 1991.
Inspire Record 29927 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19887

Using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have determined the inclusive B* cross section above the Υ(4S) resonance in the energy range from 10.61 to 10.70 GeV. We also report a new measurement of the energy of the B*→Bγ transition photon of 46.2±0.3±0.8 MeV.
