Abstract:

We present a measurement of the W boson mass using data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1994–1995. We identify W bosons by their decays to [Formula Presented] final states. We extract the W mass [Formula Presented] by fitting the transverse mass and transverse electron momentum spectra from a sample of 28 323 [Formula Presented] decay candidates. We use a sample of 3563 dielectron events, mostly due to [Formula Presented] decays, to constrain our model of the detector response. From the transverse mass fit we measure [Formula Presented] GeV. Combining this with our previously published result from data taken in 1992–1993, we obtain [Formula Presented]. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the average b-hadron lifetime τb at the e+e collider LEP. Using hadronic Z decays collected in the period from 1991 to 1994, two independent analyses have been performed. In the first one, the b-decay position is reconstructed as a secondary vertex of hadronic b-decay particles. The second analysis is an updated measurement of Tb using the impact parameter of leptons with high momentum and high transverse momentum. The combined result is τb = [1549 ± 9 (stat) ± 15 (syst)] fs. In addition, we measure the average charged b-decay multiplicity 〈nb〉 and the normalized average b-energy 〈xE〉b at LEP to be 〈nb〉 = 4.90 ± 0.04 (stat) ± 0.11 (syst), 〈xE〉b = 0.709 ± 0.004 (stat + syst). © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

The shape of the transverse momentum distribution of W bosons (pWT) produced in pp¯ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV is measured with the D0 detector at Fermilab. The result is compared with QCD perturbative and resummation calculations over the pWT range from 0 to 200 GeV/c. The shape of the distribution is consistent with the theoretical prediction. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The D0 Collaboration has performed a measurement of the top quark mass mt based on six candidate events for the process tt- → bW+bW-, where the W bosons decay to eν or μν. This sample was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an integrated luminosity of 125pb-1 of √ s = 1.8 TeV pp collisions. We obtain mt = 168.4 ± 12.3(stat) ± 3.6(syst) GeV/c2, consistent with the measurement obtained using single-lepton events. Combination of the single-lepton and dilepton results yields mt = 172.0 ± 7.5 GeV/c2. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
