A study of the lateral development of jets of hadrons produced in electron-positron annihilation has been used to determine the strong coupling constant αs. Data were obtained with the MAC detector at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP at s=29 GeV. Based on the parton calculations of Gottschalk and Shatz, a value for αs of 0.133±0.005(stat)±0.009(syst) has been determined for string fragmentation, and 0.112±0.008(stat)±0.007(syst) for an independent-jet model.

Measurements of the differential cross sections for e + e − →μ + μ − and e + e − →τ + τ − at values of s from 52 to 57 GeV are reported. The forward-backward asymmetries and the total cross sections for these reactions are found to be in agreement with predictions of the standard model of the electro-weak interactions. These measurements are used to extract values of the weak coupling constant g v e g v l and g A e g A l , where l = μ or τ .

Axis error includes +- 5/5 contribution (Included in the quoted errors for the total cross sections. The main contribution to SYS-ERR are the systematic uncertainty in the luminosity measurement and the uncertainty in the computer modeling of the various efficiencies and backgrounds).

EXPERIMENTAL MASS LIMIT FOR A FOURTH GENERATION SEQUENTIAL LEPTON FROM e+ e- ANNIHILATIONS AT S**(1/2) = 56-GeV

Inspire Record 261848 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20055

A search for pair production of fourth-generation sequential leptons in e+e− annihilation at a center-of-mass energy s=56 GeV is reported. Event topologies corresponding to the cases where one particle decays leptonically while the other decays hadronically as well as those where both particles decay hadronically were explored. We set a 95%-confidence-level lower limit of 27.6 GeV/c2 for the mass of a fourth-generation lepton.

Measurement of the Polarization of $\tau$ Leptons Produced in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=29$-{GeV}

Inspire Record 245571 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23349

We present measurements of forward-backward energy asymmetries of τ-lepton decay products from the reaction e+e−→τ+τ− in data collected with the MAC detector operating at the SLAC storage ring PEP at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV. The energy asymmetries for the decays τ→ντeν¯e, τ→ντμν¯μ, τ→ντπ, and τ→ντρ are interpreted as effects caused by the combination of maximally parity-violating weak τ decays and a longitudinal polarization produced by the interference of electromagnetic and weak processes. From the forward-backward polarization asymmetry AP=(0.06±0.07)×(1±0.011), we determine the coupling-constant product gaegvτ=(0.26 ±0.31)×(1±0.011). Assuming gae=-(1/2 as expected, we find gvτ=(-0.52±0.62)×(1±0.011), consistent with the prediction of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model of electroweak interactions. Alternatively, assuming the standard-model prediction of negligible polarization in τ-pair production, the leptonic energy spectra are used to measure the Michel parameter to be 0.79±0.10±0.10, consistent with the V-A hypothesis for the τν¯τ-W vertex.

COMPARISON OF pi+-, K+- AND p, anti-p PRODUCTION IN THE CENTRAL RAPIDITY REGION IN HADRON HADRON COLLISIONS AND IN e+ e- ANNIHILATION

We compare the p T dependence of pion, kaon and proton production cross sections in the central rapidity region in e + e − annihilation events and in proton-proton collisions at ISR energies. We find similarities both in the p T dependence of cross sections and in the particle composition as a function of p T , in agreement with the hypothesis of a universal mechanism of particle production.

STUDY OF BARYON CORRELATIONS IN e+ e- ANNIHILATION AT 29-GeV

We report measurements of two-particle correlations in rapidity space between a p¯ or Λ¯ and an additional p, p¯, Λ, or Λ¯. We find evidence for local conservation of baryon number, and for the first time observe a pronounced anticorrelation between baryons with the same value of baryon number. Such an anticorrelation is expected in fragmentation models where the rapidity order of particles closely reflects their ‘‘color order,’’ as is the case, for example, in recent versions of the Lund string model.

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

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.

COMPARISON OF THE PARTICLE FLOW IN q anti-q g AND q anti-q gamma EVENTS IN e+ e- ANNIHILATION

Inspire Record 230224 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38183

We compare the particle flow in the event plane of three-jet qq¯g (quark-antiquark-gluon) events with the particle flow in radiative annihilation events qq¯γ (quark-antiquark-photon) for similar kinematic configurations. In the angular region between quark and antiquark jet, we find a significant decrease in particle density for qq¯g as compared to qq¯γ. This effect is predicted in QCD as a result of destructive interference between soft-gluon radiation from quark, antiquark, and hard gluon.
