Kaplan, D.M. ; Fisk, R.J. ; Ito, A.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 40 (1978) 435, 1978.
Inspire Record 122485 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20947

The mass spectrum of muon pairs in the range 5 to 15 GeV is studied in the inclusive reaction p+nucleus→μ++μ−+anything. The ϒ and continuum distribution are presented as is the A dependence of the continuum. Comparison with a parton-annihilation model yields a sea-quark distribution.

INCLUSIVE K0 PRODUCTION IN E+ E- ANNIHILATION AT THE UPSILON RESONANCES

Giannini, G. ; Finocchiaro, G. ; Lee-Franzini, Juliet ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 206 (1982) 1-11, 1982.
Inspire Record 183794 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.28689

We report on inclusive K 0 production in the region of the upsilon resonances (9.4–10.6 GeV). The K 0 yield for the resonances and continuum below the B B threshold is found to be constant at 0.82 ± 0.10 K 0 per observed hadronic event. At the ϒ (4S), however, the K 0 yield is significantly higher, 1.58 ± 0.35. This increase in K 0 production and the differential cross section d σ /d p of kaons are consistent with B B decay of the ϒ (4S) resonance with the bottom quarks subsequently decaying primarily into charmed quarks.

The CUSB detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring has been used to measure R=σ(e+e−→hadrons)σ(e+e−→μ+μ−) in the c.m. energy regions between the ϒ′′ and the ϒ′′′, and above the ϒ′′′ up to s=11.6 GeV, with integrated luminosities of 5000 and 2100 nb−1, respectively. No narrow resonances are observed, and limits on the leptonic widths are presented. The average value of R increases by 0.31±0.06 across the flavor threshold.

Observation of the Upsilon''' at CESR

Finocchiaro, G. ; Giannini, G. ; Lee-Franzini, Juliet ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 45 (1980) 222, 1980.
Inspire Record 9427 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20691

During an energy scan at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, with use of the Columbia University-Stony Brook NaI detector, an enhancement in σ(e+e−→hadrons) is observed at center-of-mass energy ∼10.55 GeV. The mass and leptonic width of this state (ϒ′′′) suggest that it is the 4S13 bound state of the b quark and its antiquark. After applying to the data a cut in a (pseudo) thrust variable, the natural width is measured to be Γ=12.6±6.0 MeV, indicating that the ϒ′′′ is above the threshold for BB¯ production.

Observation of Upsilon, Upsilon', and Upsilon'' at the Cornell electron Storage Ring

Bohringer, T. ; Costantini, F. ; Dobbins, J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 44 (1980) 1111-1114, 1980.
Inspire Record 157729 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20731

The ϒ, ϒ′, and ϒ′′ states have been observed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as narrow peaks in σ(e+e−→hadrons) versus beam energy. Data were collected during a run with integrated luminosity of 1000 nb−1, using the Columbia University-Stony Brook segmented NaI detector. The measured mass differences are M(ϒ′)−M(ϒ)=559±1(±3) MeV and M(ϒ′′)−M(ϒ)=889±1(±5) MeV, where the errors in parentheses represent systematic uncertainties. Preliminary values for the leptonic width ratios were also obtained.

Measurement of the continuum of dimuons produced in high-energy proton - nucleus collisions

Ito, A.S. ; Fisk, R.J. ; Jostlein, H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 23 (1981) 604-633, 1981.
Inspire Record 153009 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24076

We report final results of a series of measurements of continuum dimuon production in proton-nucleus collisions at Fermilab. New results with 6 times more statistics are included. A full description of the apparatus and methods used in the analysis of this series of measurements is given. The sea quark distribution of the nucleon is determined within the context of Drell-Yan and quantum-chromodynamic description of dilepton production in hadron collisions.

Scaling properties of high mass symmetric hadron and pion pair production in proton - beryllium collisions

Jostlein, H. ; Engelmann, Roderich J. ; Fisk, R.J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 42 (1979) 146, 1979.
Inspire Record 132764 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42603

We present measurements of the production symmetric high-mass hadron and pion pairs by protons of 200, 300, and 400 GeV, incident on a beryllium target. The two-particle invariant cross section for pion production can be described by the function E1E2d6σdp13dp23=(1.7×10−28)pt−8.4(1−xt)14 cm2/GeV4 (where pt is the mean pt of the two hadrons). Functions of the same form have been used in describing single-pion inclusive production. Equality of the exponents of pt in the two processes is observed, confirming the role of smearing contributions to single-hadron cross sections.

Dimuon production is studied in 400-GeV proton-nucleus collisions. A strong enhancement is observed at 9.5 GeV mass in a sample of 9000 dimuon events with a mass $m_{\mu^+\mu^-} \to$ 5 GeV.

Evidence for the Upsilon'' and a Search for New Narrow Resonances

Ueno, K. ; Brown, B.C. ; Brown, C.N. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 42 (1979) 486-489, 1979.
Inspire Record 132766 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42707

The production of the ϒ family in proton-nucleus collisions is clarified by a sixfold increase in statistics. Constraining ϒ,ϒ′ masses to those observed at DORIS we find the statistical significance of the ϒ′′ to be 11 standard deviations. The dependence of ϒ production on pt, y, and s is presented. Limits for other resonance production in the mass range 4-18 GeV are determined.

THRUST DISTRIBUTIONS AND DECAYS OF THE UPSILON BOUND STATES

Peterson, D. ; Bohringer, T. ; Franzini, P. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 114 (1982) 277-281, 1982.
Inspire Record 181188 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30893

We have studied the topologies of hadronic events in e + e - annihilation data taken in the region of the upsilon resonances with the non-magnetic CUSB detectors at CESR. Using a thrust-like variable we compare the decay of ϒ, ϒ′ and ϒPrime; find for ϒ″ a significant excess of high thrust events, which we interpret as evidence for electric dipole transitions.
