This paper presents the charged-particle multiplicity distributions for e+e− annihilation at √s =29 GeV measured in the High Resolution Spectrometer. The data, which correspond to an integrated luminosity of 185 pb−1, were obtained at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP. The techniques used to correct the observed prong numbers are discussed. The multiplicity distribution of the charged particles has a mean value 〈n〉=12.87±0.03±0.30, a dispersion D2=3.67±0.02±0.18, and an f2 moment of 0.60±0.02±0.18. Results are also presented for a two-jet sample selected with low sphericity and aplanarity. The charged-particle distributions are almost Poissonian and narrower than have been reported by other e+e− experiments in this energy range. The mean multiplicity increases with the event sphericity, and for the sample of threefold-symmetric three-jet events, a value of 〈n〉=16.3±0.3±0.7 is found. No correlation is observed between the multiplicities in the two hemispheres when the events are divided into two jets by a plane perpendicular to the thrust axis. This result is in contrast with the situation in soft hadronic collisions, where a strong forward-backward correlation is measured. For the single jets, a mean multiplicity of 6.43±0.02±0.15 and a dispersion value of D2=2.55±0.02±0.13 are found. These values give further support to the idea of independent jet fragmentation. The multiplicity distributions are well fit by the negative-binomial distribution. The semi-inclusive rapidity distributions are presented. Comparisons are made to the measurements of charged-particle multiplicities in hadron-hadron and lepton-nucleon collisions.

A Measurement of the Sigma- Magnetic Moment Using the Sigma- ---> n e- anti-neutrino and Sigma- ---> n pi- Decay Modes

Zapalac, G. ; Hsueh, S.Y. ; Muller, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 57 (1986) 1526, 1986.
Inspire Record 231107 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42694

We have used the spin-precession technique to measure the Σ− magnetic moment (μΣ). A Σ− beam with a polarization of 22% was produced by a 400-GeV proton beam striking a Cu target at nominal production angles of ±3 mrad. We simultaneously recorded 21 000 Σ−→ne−ν¯ decays and 650 000 Σ−→nπ− decays at Σ− beam momenta of 253 and 308 GeV/c. We find μΣ=−1.166±0.014±0.010 nuclear magnetons, where the quoted errors are statistical and systematic, respectively.

MEASUREMENT OF THE INCLUSIVE BRANCHING FRACTION tau- ---> tau-neutrino pi- pi0 NEUTRAL MESON(S)

We measure an inclusive branching fraction of (13.9 ± 2.0−2.2+1.9)% for the decay τ−→ντπ−π0+nh0(n>~1), where h0 is a π0 or an η. The data sample, obtained with the time-projection-chamber detector facility at the SLAC e+e− storage ring PEP, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 72 pb−1 at 29 GeV center-of-mass energy. The measured branching fraction is somewhat greater than the theoretical prediction and, with errors taken into account, could resolve the present difference between the inclusive and the sum of the exclusive τ± branching fractions into one charged prong.

Cross-sections and Some Features of Charm Photoproduction at $\gamma$ Energies of 20-{GeV} to 70-{GeV}

Inspire Record 230940 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30199

We report some results on charm photoproduction at γ energies ranging from 20 to 70 GeV. 36 events with pairs of charmed particles have been found in emulsions. The computed total cross section is (230±57)nb/nucleon. Frequencies of different production channels and some distributions are presented and compared with the predictions from a photon-gluon fusion model with string fragmentation.

A High Statistics Study of Upsilon Meson Production in $\pi^- W$ Reactions at 286-{GeV}/$c$

The NA10 collaboration Grossmann-Handschin, M. ; Guanziroli, M. ; Le Coultre, P. ; et al.

Inspire Record 230301 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30229

With a sample of about 2000( γ + γ ′+ γ ″) events observed in π-W interactions at 286GeV/ c , the ratio ( γ ′+ γ ″)/ γ =0.51±0.07, the branching ratio times the inclusive total cross section Bσ =(386±17±85) pb per W nucleus, as well as the differential cross sections in χ F and p T have been measured. These results are compared with previous data obtained with the same apparatus at a lower beam momentum (194 GeV/ c ). Both data sets are compared with a theoretical calculation (“duality model”) which also allows one to extract the shape parameter β g of the gluon distribution in the pion. β g is found to be 2.3 −0.3 +0.4 (stat.) −0.5 +0.1 (syst.).

A Study of the Decay $B \to \psi$ X

The CLEO collaboration Alam, M.S. ; Katayama, N. ; Kim, I.J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 34 (1986) 3279, 1986.
Inspire Record 230961 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23447

We have measured the inclusive branching ratio for B→ψX to be (1.09±0.16±0.21)%, and the exclusive branching ratios for B−→ψK− and B¯ ¯0 *0 to be (0.09±0.05)% and (0.41±0.18)%, respectively. The mass difference between neutral and charged B mesons is 1.1±2.1 MeV, while the difference between the mass of Υ(4S) and twice the mean B-meson mass is 18.5±3.0 MeV. The ψ momentum distribution implies a substantial two-body decay (in agreement with direct measurements), but also some combination of B→ψX with MX>1.5 GeV, and B→ψ’X.
