A high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay modes D+ to K-K+pi+, D0 to K-K+ and D0 to pi-pi+. We have measured the following CP asymmetry parameters: A_CP(K-K+pi+) = +0.006 +/- 0.011 +/- 0.005, A_CP(K-K+) = -0.001 +/- 0.022 +/- 0.015 and A_CP(pi-pi+) = +0.048 +/- 0.039 +/- 0.025 where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. These asymmetries are consistent with zero with smaller errors than previous measurements.
All N-values corrected by efficiencies obtained from Monte-Carlo simulations. The CP asymmetry can be written as: ACP=(eta(D)-eta(DBAR))/(eta(D)+eta(DBAR)), where eta(Q=D+ KK)=(N(Q=D+ KK)/N(Q=D+ K) - N(Q=D- KK)/N(Q=D- K))/(N(Q=D+ KK)/N(Q=D+ K) + N(Q=D- KK)/N(Q=D- K)).
All N-values corrected by efficiencies obtained from Monte-Carlo simulations. The CP asymmetry can be written as: ACP=(eta(D)-eta(DBAR))/(eta(D)+eta(DBAR)), where eta(Q=D0 KK)=(N(Q=D0 KK)/N(Q=D0 K) - N(Q=DBAR0 KK)/N(Q=DBAR0 K))/(N(Q=D0 KK)/N(Q=D0 K) + N(Q=DBAR0 KK)/N(Q=DBAR0 K)).
All N-values corrected by efficiencies obtained from Monte-Carlo simulations. The CP asymmetry can be written as: ACP=(eta(D)-eta(DBAR))/(eta(D)+eta(DBAR)), where eta(Q=D0 PIPI)=(N(Q=D0 PIPI) - N(Q=DBAR0 PIPI))/(N(Q=D0 PIPI) + N(Q=DBAR0 PIPI)).
Pseudorapidity distributions for proton-nucleus interactions are presented. The data cover twelve nuclei ranging from carbon to uranium and three incident proton momenta, 50, 100, and 200 GeV/c.
Three-dimensional avegage multiplicity distribution is parametrized to CONST(C=F)+CONST(C=G)*COL+CONST(C=H)*COL, where COL = A(N=NUCLEUS)*SIG(Q=P P)/SIG(Q=P NUCLEUS).
We present a measurement and comparison of the χc1 and χc2 production cross sections determined from interactions of 300-GeV/c π± and p with a Li target. We find χc1χc2 production ratios of 0.52−0.27+0.57 and 0.08−0.15+0.25 from reactions induced by π± and p, respectively.

The cross section per nucleon. The differential cross section is fitted by the equation : D(SIG)/D(COS(THETA)) = CONST*(1+CONST*COS(THETA)**2), where THETA is the angle between the MU+ and beam momentum in the CHI/C rest frame.
In an experiment performed at Fermilab we have studied the production of high p t hadron jets from 400 GeV/ c pp interactions. A large solid-angle, towered calorimeter was used to trigger and reconstruct the jet events. We report results for inclusive single-jet production and compare those results with QCD predictions and results obtained at the ISR and the SPS Collider.
The invariant distribution is fitted to CONST*(1/PT**POWER)*(1-XT)**POWER.
The study of the J ψ transverse momentum distribution in oxygen-uranium reactions at 200 GeV/nucleon shows that 〈 P T 〉 and 〈 P T 2 〉 increase with the transverse energy of the reaction. Muon pairs in the mass continuum do not exhibit the same behaviour. The comparison of the J ψ production rates in central and peripheral collisions shows a significant diminution for low P T central events.
Two parametrization of the D(SIG)/D(PT) are used: first is : PT*exp(-SLOPE*PT**CONST(C=PT)) and second is : PT*exp(-2*MT/CONST(C=MT)).
D(SIG)/D(PT) is parameterized as PT*exp(-SLOPE*PT**CONST).
D(SIG)/D(PT) is parameterized as PT*exp(-SLOPE*PT**CONST).
We present a measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry of the process pp¯→Z0/γ+X,Z0/γ→e+e− at Mee>MZ, using 110pb−1 of data at s=1.8TeV collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The measured charge asymmetries are 0.43±0.10 in the invariant mass region Mee>105GeV/c2, and 0.070±0.016 in the region 75<Mee<105GeV/c2. These results are consistent with the standard model values of 0.528±0.009 and 0.052±0.002, respectively.
The forward-backward asymmetry resuts from angular differential cross section : D(SIG)/D(COS(THETA*) = A*(1 + COS(THETA*)**2) + B*COS(THETA*), where THETA * is the emission angle of the E- relative to the quark momentum in the rest frame of the E+ E- pair.
Using the ARGUS detector at the e + e − storage ring DORIS II at DESY, we have made two measurements of the mixing parameter χ d using kaons as flavour tags. Using D ∗+ K ± correlations we found χ d = 0.20 ± 0.13 ± 0.12 and from the study of (D ∗+ ℓ − ) K ± correlations we obtained χ d = 0.19 ± 0.07 ± 0.09. The branching ratio for B → D ∗+ X has been updated: Br( B → D ∗+ X) = (19.6 ± 1.9) %. We have also determined the average multiplicity of charged kaons in B 0 decays to be 0.78 ± 0.08.
Mixing parameter from counting kaon events. First (...,C=D*+K+-) and second(...,C=(D*+LEPTON-)K+-) value are obtained from a study of D*+K+- and (D*+LEPTO N-)K+- correlations respectively. Second value and the value, reported in Phys.Lett. 324B (1994) 249, were averaged, result third value (...,C=COMBINED) of the mixing parameter in the table (see text for details). In the second value (...,C=(D*+LEPTON-)K+-) the first systematic error is due to the background estimation, the branching ratio for the process B --> K+(K-) X, experimental cuts, and the second one is due to to the uncertainty on the branching ratio for the processes D0 --> K+- X.

We have analysed a sample of 2.36 million minimum bias events produced in p p collisions at s =630 GeV in the UA1 experiment at the CERN collider. We have studied the production of charged particles with transverse momenta ( p T ) up to 25 GeV/c. The results are in agreement with QCD predictions. The rise of 〈 p T 〉 with charged particle multiplicity may be related to changing production of low p T particles.

From a sample of 2.36 million minimum bias events produced in p p collisions at s =630 GeV in the UA1 experiment and from other published data at the CERN S p p S collider we have estimated the relative production of π ± , π 0 , K ± , K S 0 , Λ, Λ , p and p . We obtain a meson over baryon ratio M B = 6.4 ± 1.1 . From the K S 0 π ± ratio we measure the strangeness suppression factor λ = 0.29 ± 0.02 ± 0.01 which, combining with other available data provides a new world average of 0.29 ± 0.015. Both the K S 0 π ± ratio and the strangeness suppression factor λ as a function of s are investigated, and an extrapolation to the LHC energy is performed.

We report on a study of W+ photon production in approximately 20 pb−1 of p−p¯ collisions at s=1.8 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Our results are in good agreement with standard model expectations and are used to obtain limits on anomalous CP-conserving WWγ couplings of −2.3<Δκ<2.2 for λ=0 and −0.7<λ<0.7 for Δκ=0 at 95% C.L. We obtain the same limits for CP-violating couplings. These results provide limits on the higher-order electromagnetic moments of the W boson of 0.8<gW<3.1 for qWe=1 and −0.6<qWe<2.7 for gW=2 at 95% C.L.
