Phys.Rev.Lett. 67 (1991) 1502-1506, 1991.
Inspire Record 317764 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19899

An analysis of the forward-backward asymmetry in Z0 decays using data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab at √s =1.8 TeV yields AFB=[5.2±5.9(stat)±0.4(syst)]% and sin2θ¯W =0.228−0.015+0.017(stat)±0.002(syst).

Measurement of the W P(T) distribution in anti-p p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, Dante E. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 66 (1991) 2951-2955, 1991.
Inspire Record 314225 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19900

Using the Collider Detector at Fermilab, the W-boson differential cross section dσ/dPT is measured using W→eν events in proton-antiproton collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. A next-to-leading-order theoretical calculation agrees well with the data. The cross section (σ) for PT>50 GeV/c is measured to be 423±58(stat)±108(syst) pb.

Polarization of $\Xi^-$ Hyperons Produced by 800-GeV Protons

Duryea, J. ; Guglielmo, G. ; Heller, Kenneth J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 67 (1991) 1193-1196, 1991.
Inspire Record 322767 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19903

The polarization PΞ− of Ξ− hyperons produced by 800-GeV protons has been measured for xF from 0.3 to 0.7 and pT from 0.5 to 1.5 GeV/c. PΞ− has a pT dependence similar to that of the Λ but has a different xF behavior. Also, an energy dependence of PΞ− has been observed.

Inspire Record 327578 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.36761

We present preliminary results on the measurement of a variety of exclusive hadron interactions at center of mass scattering angles of 90°. Data are also presented which show the relative transparency of nuclei to πp and pp elastic scattering in this kinematic range.

A measurement of the Z0 invisible width by single photon counting.

The OPAL collaboration Akrawy, M.Z. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, John ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 50 (1991) 373-384, 1991.
Inspire Record 302586 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.14980

The OPAL detector at LEP is used to measure the branching ratio of theZ0 into invisible particles by measuring the cross section of single photon events ine+e− collisions at centre-of-mass energies near theZ0 resonance. In a data sample of 5.3 pb−1, we observe 73 events with single photons depositing more than 1.5 GeV in the electromagnetic calorimeter, with an expected background of 8±2 events not associated with invisibleZ0 decay. With this data we determine theZ0 invisible width to be 0.50±0.07±0.03 GeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. This corresponds to 3.0±0.4±0.2 light neutrino generations in the Standard Model.

A Study of the recombination scheme dependence of jet production rates and of alpha-s (m(Z0)) in hadronic Z0 decays

The OPAL collaboration Akrawy, M.Z. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, John ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 49 (1991) 375-384, 1991.
Inspire Record 299833 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15085

The error includes the experimental uncertainties (±0.003), uncertainties of hadronisation corrections and of the degree of parton virtualities to which the data are corrected, as well as the uncertainty of choosing the renormalisation scale.

A Measurement of the W boson mass

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Amidei, Dante E. ; Apollinari, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 65 (1990) 2243-2246, 1990.
Inspire Record 299674 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19940

We have determined mW=79.91±0.39 GeV/c2 from an analysis of W→eν and W→μν data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p¯p collisions at a c.m. energy of √s =1.8 TeV. This result, together with the world-average Z mass, determines the weak mixing angle to be sin2θW=0.232±0.008. Bounds on the top-quark mass are discussed.

A Measurement of Global Event Shape Distributions in the Hadronic Decays of the $\Z^0$

The OPAL collaboration Akrawy, M.Z. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, John ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 47 (1990) 505-522, 1990.
Inspire Record 295613 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15152

We present measurements of global event shape distributions in the hadronic decays of theZ0. The data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 1.3 pb−1, was collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. Most of the experimental distributions we present are unfolded for the finite acceptance and resolution of the OPAL detector. Through comparison with our unfolded data, we tune the parameter values of several Monte Carlo computer programs which simulate perturbative QCD and the hadronization of partons. Jetset version 7.2, Herwig version 3.4 and Ariadne version 3.1 all provide good descriptions of the experimental distributions. They in addition describe lower energy data with the parameter values adjusted at theZ0 energy. A complete second order matrix element Monte Carlo program with a modified perturbation scale is also compared to our 91 GeV data and its parameter values are adjusted. We obtained an unfolded value for the mean charged multiplicity of 21.28±0.04±0.84, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

The polarization of Ξ¯ + hyperons produced by 800-GeV/c protons in the inclusive reaction p+Be→Ξ¯ ++X has been measured. The average polarization of the Ξ¯ +, at a mean xF=0.39 and pt=0.76 GeV/c, is -0.097±0.012±0.009. The magnetic moment of the Ξ¯ + is 0.657±0.028±0.020 nuclear magneton.
