Abstract:

The results of a search for W boson pair production in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV with subsequent decay to eμ, ee, and μμ channels are presented. Five candidate events are observed with an expected background of 3.1 ± 0.4 events for an integrated luminosity of approximately 97 pb-1. Limits on the anomalous couplings are obtained from a maximum likelihood fit of the ET spectra of the leptons in the candidate events. Assuming identical WWγ and WWZ couplings, the 95% C.L. limits are -0.62<Δκ<0.77 (λ = 0) and -0.53<λ <0.56 (Δκ = 0) for a form factor scale Λ= 1.5 TeV.

Abstract:

We analyse e+e-→ ττγ events using 100pb-1 of data collected by the L3 experiment during the 1991-1995 LEP runs at the Z pole. From the energy of the photons and their isolation from the tau decay products, we determine the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau to be, respectively: aτ = 0.004 ± 0.027 ± 0.023; dτ = (0.0 ± 1.5 + 1.3) × 10-16e · cm. This is a direct measurement of these τ form factors at q2 = 0. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

A first level trigger system based on a 40 MHz digital pipeline has been developed for the CERN NA48 [1] experiment, aiming at measuring CP violation in K-0 --> 2 pi decays.The outputs of the 13340 cells of the 10 m(3) liquid krypton calorimeter are summed into 64 X and 64 Y projection strips and continuously digitised with 40 MHz FADCs.This information is used to reconstruct at each clock cycle and for the two calorimeter projections, the number of clusters, the impact time of each of them (with a precision of about 3 ns), their total energy and the first and second moments of the energy distribution.Based on the quantities listed above, a programmable look-up table system subsequently computes online the longitudinal position of the kaon decay vertex and performs an event selection.The system is described.
