We have measured the cross section for p+p→p+X for MX2 up to a constant fraction of s. We observe no rise for 130

The ϒ, ϒ′, and ϒ′′ states have been observed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as narrow peaks in σ(e+e−→hadrons) versus beam energy. Data were collected during a run with integrated luminosity of 1000 nb−1, using the Columbia University-Stony Brook segmented NaI detector. The measured mass differences are M(ϒ′)−M(ϒ)=559±1(±3) MeV and M(ϒ′′)−M(ϒ)=889±1(±5) MeV, where the errors in parentheses represent systematic uncertainties. Preliminary values for the leptonic width ratios were also obtained.
HADRONIC EVENTS/SMALL-ANGLE BHABHA YIELD.
During an energy scan at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, with use of the Columbia University-Stony Brook NaI detector, an enhancement in σ(e+e−→hadrons) is observed at center-of-mass energy ∼10.55 GeV. The mass and leptonic width of this state (ϒ′′′) suggest that it is the 4S13 bound state of the b quark and its antiquark. After applying to the data a cut in a (pseudo) thrust variable, the natural width is measured to be Γ=12.6±6.0 MeV, indicating that the ϒ′′′ is above the threshold for BB¯ production.
VISIBLE TOTAL HADRONIC CROSS SECTION FOR FIRST, THIRD AND FOURTH UPSILONS.
We report on inclusive K 0 production in the region of the upsilon resonances (9.4–10.6 GeV). The K 0 yield for the resonances and continuum below the B B threshold is found to be constant at 0.82 ± 0.10 K 0 per observed hadronic event. At the ϒ (4S), however, the K 0 yield is significantly higher, 1.58 ± 0.35. This increase in K 0 production and the differential cross section d σ /d p of kaons are consistent with B B decay of the ϒ (4S) resonance with the bottom quarks subsequently decaying primarily into charmed quarks.

The CUSB detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring has been used to measure R=σ(e+e−→hadrons)σ(e+e−→μ+μ−) in the c.m. energy regions between the ϒ′′ and the ϒ′′′, and above the ϒ′′′ up to s=11.6 GeV, with integrated luminosities of 5000 and 2100 nb−1, respectively. No narrow resonances are observed, and limits on the leptonic widths are presented. The average value of R increases by 0.31±0.06 across the flavor threshold.

We have studied the topologies of hadronic events in e + e - annihilation data taken in the region of the upsilon resonances with the non-magnetic CUSB detectors at CESR. Using a thrust-like variable we compare the decay of ϒ, ϒ′ and ϒPrime; find for ϒ″ a significant excess of high thrust events, which we interpret as evidence for electric dipole transitions.

The masses, total widths, and leptonic widths of three triplet s-wave bb¯ states ϒ(4S), ϒ(5S), and ϒ(6S) are determined from measurements of the e+e− annihilation cross section into hadrons for 10.55
VISIBLE CROSS SECTION INTO HADRONS.
Using the CUSB-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured Bμμ, the branching fraction into muons, of the Υ’’ meson. We find Bμμ(Υ’’)=(1.53±0.33±0.21)%, from which the Υ’’ total decay width is 25.5±5.0 keV. From this result we obtain αs=0.170−0.012+0.015, ΛMS¯=148−39+56 MeV. (MS¯ denotes the modified minimal-subtraction scheme).

Using the CUSB-II detector at CESR we have measured the B ∗ cross section in the energy range from s = 10.61–10.65 GeV and 10.70 GeV to be 0.16±0.03 nb and 0.33±0.13 nb respectively. The photon energy for B ∗ →Bγ decays is measured to be 45.4±0.8 MeV, in agreement with our earlier determination. The implication of this measurement for future B factories is discussed.
Errors include systematic uncertainties.
We have directly measured the ZZ-gamma and Z-gamma-gamma couplings by studying p pbar --> l+ l- gamma + X, (l = e, mu) events at the CM energy of 1.8$TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the transverse energy spectrum of the photon in the signal events, based on the data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 13.9 pb~-1 ($13.3 pb~-1) for the electron (muon) channel, yields the following 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous CP-conserving ZZ-gamma couplings: -1.9 < h~Z_30 < 1.8 (h~Z_40 = 0), and -0.5 < h~Z_40 < 0.5 (h~Z_30 = 0), for a form-factor scale Lambda = 500 GeV. Limits for the Z-gamma-gamma$ couplings and CP-violating couplings are also discussed.
The anomalous CP-conserving Z Z GAMMA. CONST(NAME=SCALE) is the model parameter, used in the modification of the couplings as follows: h = hi0/(1 + M(gamma Z)**2/CONT(NAME=SCALE)**2)**n. See article for details.
