A Study of Bhabha Scattering at {PETRA} Energies

We report on high statistics Bhabha scattering data taken with the TASSO experiment at PETRA at center of mass energies from 12 GeV to 46.8 GeV. We present an analysis in terms of electroweak parameters of the standard model, give limits on QED cut-off parameters and look for possible signs of compositeness.

Measurement of $e^+ e^- \to \mu^+ \mu^-$: A Test of Electroweak Theories

The Mark-J collaboration Adeva, B. ; Becker, U. ; Becker-Szendy, R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 55 (1985) 665, 1985.
Inspire Record 214607 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.3237

We use the reaction e+e−→μ+μ−, in the Mark J detector at the DESY high-energy e+e− collider PETRA, to test the standard electroweak theory and find good agreement. We also set limits on the parameters of several extended gauge theories.
