Measurement of bb̄ production correlations, B0B̄0 mixing, and a limit on ∈B in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 55:5 (1997) 2547-2558
Abstract:
We present measurements of correlated bb̄ cross sections, μ-μ, correlations, the average B0B̄0 mixing parameter χ̄, and a limit on the CP-violating parameter ∈B. For these measurements, we use muon pairs from bb double semileptonic decays. The data used in this analysis were taken with the Collider_Detector at Fermilab and represent an integrated luminosity of 17.4±0.6 pb-1. The results concerning bb̄ production correlations are compared to predictions of next-to-leading order QCD computations.Observation of Λb0→J/ψ Λ at the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider

A measurement of the energy loss spectrum of 150 GeV muons in iron
Zeitschrift fur Physik C-Particles and Fields 73:3 (1997) 455-463
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.Direct measurement of the top quark mass
