Measurement of the s dependence of jet production at the CERN pp collider
Physics Letters B 160:4-5 (1985) 349-356
Abstract:
The production of very large transverse momentum (pT) hadron jets has been measured in the UA2 experiment at the CERN pp Collider for s=630 GeV. The inclusive jet production cross sections exhibit a pT-dependent increase with respect to the s=546 GeV data from previous Collider runs. This increase can be described both by QCD calculations and by approximate xT=2pT/√s scaling. No significant deviation of the data from QCD predictions is observed at very large pT, placing a lower limit on the characteristic scale Λc of a hypothetical superstrong contact interaction responsible for the binding of preons in the quark (Λc>370 GeV at 95% CL). © 1985.Neutral K*(890) and ρ0 meson production in e+e- annihilation at ;s=29GeV

Abstract:
The production of neutral K*(890) and ρ0 mesons was studied in e+e- annihilation at s=29 GeV using the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of the scaled energy variable z and compared to π0 and K0 production. The measured multiplicities are 0.84±0.08 ρ{variant}0 mesons and 0.57±0.09 K*0(890) mesons per event for a meson momentum greater than 725 MeV/c. The ratios of vector meson to pseudoscalar meson production for (u,d), s and c quark are compared to predictions of the Lund model. © 1985.Measurement of the topological branching fractions of the tau lepton.

Experimental limits on monojet production in e+e- annihilation at 29 GeV
Physics Letters B 156:3-4 (1985) 271-276
Abstract:
A search was made for e+e-→X1X2 where X1 consists of one or more light unobservable particles and X2 decays promptly to a visible jet of particles. One event was found for an integrated luminosity of 176 pb-1, a rate consistent with known backgrounds. This result places a significant constraint on a number of theoretical models. © 1985.Production of phi and F(1970)--> phi pi in e+e- annihilation at 29 GeV.
