Report of Snowmass 2001 Working Group E2 : Electron-positron Colliders from the $φ$ to the Z
ArXiv hep-ex/0201047 (2002)
Abstract:
We report on the status and plans of experiments now running or proposed for electron-positron colliders at energies between the $\phi$ and the Z. The $e^{+}e^{-}$ B and charm factories we considered were PEP-II/BABAR, KEKB/Belle, superKEK, SuperBABAR, and CESR-c/CLEO-c. We reviewed the programs at the $\phi$ factory at Frascati and the proposed PEP-N facility at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We studied the prospects for B physics with a dedicated linear collider Z factory, associated with the TESLA high energy linear collider. In all cases, we compared the physics reach of these facilities with that of alternative experiments at hadron colliders or fixed target facilities.Measurement of the strong coupling constant from inclusive jet production at the Tevatron pp collider.
Phys Rev Lett 88:4 (2002) 042001
Abstract:
We report a measurement of the strong coupling constant, alpha(s)(MZ), extracted from inclusive jet production in pp collisions at square root[s] = 1800 GeV. The QCD prediction for the evolution of alpha(s) with jet transverse energy ET is tested over the range 40Search for gluinos and scalar quarks in pp collisions at square root[s] = 1.8 TeV using the missing energy plus multijets signature.
Phys Rev Lett 88:4 (2002) 041801
Abstract:
We have performed a search for gluinos (g) and scalar quarks (q) in a data sample of 84 pb(-1) of pp collisions at square root[s] = 1.8 TeV, recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We investigate the final state of large missing transverse energy and three or more jets, a characteristic signature in R-parity-conserving supersymmetric models. The analysis has been performed "blind," in that the inspection of the signal region is made only after the predictions from standard model backgrounds have been calculated. Comparing the data with predictions of constrained supersymmetric models, we exclude gluino masses below 195 GeV/c2 (95% C.L.), independent of the squark mass. For the case m(q) approximately m(g), gluino masses below 300 GeV/c2 are excluded.The moment of inertia and the scissors mode of a Bose-condensed gas
Journal of Physics Condensed Matter 14:3 (2002) 343-354
Abstract:
We relate the frequency of the scissors mode to the moment of inertia of a trapped Bose gas at finite temperature in a semi-classical approximation. We apply these theoretical results to the data obtained in our previous study of the properties of the scissors mode of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate of 87Rb atoms as a function of the temperature. The frequency shifts that we measured show quenching of the moment of inertia of the Bose gas at temperatures below the transition temperature - the system has a lower moment of inertia than that of a rigid body with the same mass distribution, because of superfluidity.Comparison of the Isolated Direct Photon Cross Sections in $p \bar p$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}=0.63$ TeV
