Abstract:

New measurements of the η and K0 masses have been performed using decays to 3π0 with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. Using symmetric decays to reduce systematic effects, the results M(η) = 547.843 ± 0.051 MeV/c2 and M(K0) = 497.625 ± 0.031 MeV/c2 were obtained. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

We present an improved measurement of b-meson lifetimes using fully reconstructed B-decays produced in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV, using 114 pb-1 of data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We obtain τ(B+) = 1.636±0.058(stat)±0.025(syst) ps, τ(B0) = 1.497±0.073(stat)±0.032(syst) ps and for the lifetime ratio τ(B+)/τ(B0) = 1.093±0.066(stat)±0.028(syst).

Abstract:

We search for standard model single-top-quark production in the W-gluon fusion and W* channels using 106 pb-1 of data from pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set an upper limit at 95% confidence level (C.L.) on the combined W-gluon fusion and W* single-top cross section of 14 pb, roughly six times larger than the standard model prediction. Separate 95% C.L. upper limits in the W-gluon fusion and W* channels are also determined and are found to be 13 and 18 pb, respectively.
