Abstract:

We have studied the determination of the running b-quark mass, mb(MZ), using Z0 decays into 3 or more hadronic jets. We calculated the ratio of ≥ 3-jet fractions in e+e- → bb̄ versus e-e- qlq̄l (ql = u or d or s) events at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD using six different infra-red- and collinear-safe jet-finding algorithms. We compared with corresponding measurements from the SLD Collaboration and found a significant algorithm-dependence of the fitted mb(MZ) value. Our best estimate, taking correlations into account, is mb(MZ) = 2.56 ± 0.27 (stat.) -0.38+0.28 (syst.) -1.48+0.49 (theor.) GeV/c2. © 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

The structure of e+e-→bb̄g events was studied using Z0 decays recorded in the SLC Large Detector experiment at SLAC. Three-jet final states were selected and the charge-coupled device-based vertex detector was used to identify two of the jets as b or b. Distributions of the gluon energy and polar angle were measured over the full kinematic range for the first time, and compared with perturbative QCD predictions. The energy distribution is potentially sensitive to an anomalous b chromomagnetic moment κ. We measured κ to be consistent with zero and set the first limits on its value: -0.17<κ<0.11 at 95% C.L. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
