Abstract:

The energy loss spectrum of 150 GeV muons has been measured with a prototype of the ATLAS hadron calorimeter in the H8 beam of the CERN SPS. The differential probability dP/dυ per radiation length of a fractional energy loss υ = ΔEμ/Eμ has been measured in the range υ = 0.01 ÷ 0.95; it is compared with the theoretical predictions for energy losses due to bremsstrahlung and production of electron-positron pairs or of energetic knock-on electrons. The integrated probability ∫0.010.95(dP/dυ)dυ is (1.610 ± 0.015stat ±0 .105syst)·10-3 in agreement with the theoretical predictions 1.556·10-3 and 1.619·10-3. Agreement with theory is also found in two intervals of υ where production of electron-positron pairs and knock-on electrons dominates. In the region of bremsstrahlung dominance (υ = 0.12 ÷ 0.95) the measured integrated probability (1.160 ± 0.040stat ± 0.075syst)·10-4 is in agreement with the theoretical value of 1.185·10-4, obtained using the Petrukhin and Shestakov description of the bremsstrahlung process. The same result is about 3.6 standard deviations (defined as the quadratic sum of statistical and systematic errors) lower than the theoretical prediction of 1.472·10-4, obtained using Tsai's description of bremsstrahlung. © Springer-Verlag 1997.

Abstract:

We measure the top quark mass mt t¯t using pairs produced in the D0 detector by √s = 1.8 TeV p ¯p collisions in a 125pb-1 exposure at the Fermilab Tevatron. We make a two constraint fit to mt in t¯t → b W+ ¯bW- final states with one W decaying to q¯q and the other to ev or μ v. Events are binned in fit mass versus a measure of probability for events to be signal rather than background. Likelihood fits to the data yield mt = 17.3 ± 5.6 (stat) ± 6.2(syst) GeV/c2. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The rate of the decay of the neutral K meson into KL0 → μμγ has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. A total of 59 events has been observed with an estimated background of 14 events. The overall Kaon flux was determined to be 1.2 × 109. This observation corresponds to a branching ratio of (3.4 ± 0.6stat ± 0.4sys) × 10-7. Using this branching ratio the parameter αK* describing the relative strength of the two contributing amplitudes to this decay, through intermediate pseudoscalar or vector-like mesons, was measured to be αK*= -0.04-0.21+0.24. © Springer-Verlag 1997.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the t¯t production cross section in p¯p collisions at √s=1.8TeV by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurement is based on data from an integrated luminosity of approximately 125pb−1 accumulated during the 1992–1996 collider run. We observe 39 t¯t candidate events in the dilepton and lepton+jets decay channels with an expected background of 13.7 ± 2.2 events. For a top quark mass of 173.3 GeV/c2, we measure the t¯t production cross section to be 5.5 ± 1.8 pb. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
