Abstract:

We present a measurement of the differential cross section as a function of transverse momentum of the Z boson in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV using data collected by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider during 1994-1996. We find good agreement between our data and the next-to-next-to-next-leading-logarithmic resummation prediction and extract values of the non-perturbative parameters for the resummed prediction from a fit to the differential cross section. ©2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Bottom-quark production in p¯p collisions at √s=1.8 TeV is studied with 5 pb−1 of data collected in 1995 by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The differential production cross section for b jets in the central rapidity region (|yb|<1) as a function of jet transverse energy is extracted from a muon-tagged jet sample. Within experimental and theoretical uncertainties, D0 results are found to be higher than, but compatible with, next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. © 2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A new precision measurement of the Ξ0 mass has been performed at the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS. The value obtained is [1314.82±0.06 (stat.) ±0.2 (syst.)] MeV/c2. The branching ratios of Xi;0 radiative decays have been measured as: Br(Ξ0 → Λγ) = [1.90 ± 0.34(stat.) ± 0.19(syst.)] · 10-3 and Br(Ξ0 → ∑0γ) = [3.14 ± 0.76(stat.) ± 0.32(syst.)] · 10-3.
