Abstract:

Production of charmed mesons in γγ-interactions at PETRA energies has been observed in the TASSO detector. Cross sections for inclusive D*± and {Mathematical expression} production have been measured. Neutral and charged meson pairs are estimated to be produced with comparable cross sections, and their sum seems to account for a sizeable fraction of σtot(γγ→hadrons) near the {Mathematical expression} threshold. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:

The full TASSO data have been used to study the inclusive production of strange mesons in e+e- annihilations. Differential and total cross sections have been measured in the centre of mass energy range 14 to 44 GeV for K0, {Mathematical expression} and 34.5 to 44 GeV for K*± (892). We have investigated the strange meson production properties in jets by studying the rapidity and pt2 distributions as well as the evolution of the multiplicities as a function of the event sphericity. We find no evidence that the strange meson yields increase with increasing sphericity faster than the total charged multiplicity. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:

We report on total cross section and forward backward charge asymmetry measurements of the reaction e+e- → τ+τ- at centre of mass energies of 35.0 GeV and 42.4 GeV using the TASSO detector. Including previous data an analysis in terms of electroweak parameters of the standard model is presented, and lower limits on mass scale parameters of residual contact interactions are given. A combined analysis of electroweak couplings using all our results on leptonic reactions e+e-→l+l- has been performed. © 1989 Springer-Verlag.

Study of intermittency in electron-positron annihilation into hadrons

Abstract:

Intermittency effects have been studied directly for the first time in e+e- annihilation, using 37 509 hadronic events at an average CM energy of 〈√s〉=35 GeV. The factorial moments F2, F3 and F4 are given for the rapidity distribution and for the two-dimensional distributions in rapidity and azimuthal angle. The effects of cuts in sphericity and particle momentum are large. Comparison with several fragmentation models are made; some models like the Lund model with O(αs2) matrix element give a qualitative description of the phenomena. The importance of detector effects is demonstrated. The results are discussed in terms of various suggested interpretations of this effect. © 1989.
