Abstract:

We have measured the number of like-sign (LS) and opposite-sign (OS) lepton pairs arising from double semileptonic decays of b and [Formula Presented] hadrons, pair produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data samples were collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1992–1995 collider run by triggering on the existence of [Formula Presented] or [Formula Presented] candidates in an event. The observed ratio of LS to OS dileptons leads to a measurement of the average time-integrated mixing probability of all produced b-flavored hadrons which decay weakly, [Formula Presented] that is significantly larger than the world average [Formula Presented] © 2004 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Inclusive Ks0Ks0 production in deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA has been studied with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 120 pb-1. Two states are observed at masses of 1537-8-9 MeV and 1726 ± 7 MeV, as well as an enhancement around 1300 MeV. The state at 1537 MeV is consistent with the well established f′2(1525). The state at 1726 MeV may be the glueball candidate f0(1710). However, it's width of 38 -14-20 MeV is narrower than 125 ± 10 MeV observed by previous experiments for the f0(1710). © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Review of jet results from HERA

Acta Physica Polonica B 35:1 (2004) 377-386

Abstract:

Some of the most recent results on jet production at HERA are reviewed. The measurements are confronted with predictions from next-to-leading order Quantum Chromodynamics. In regions where uncertainties are small, the strong coupling, αs, has been extracted. Other topics of current interest are also highlighted.

Abstract:

We present the results of a search for the production of new particles decaying into two jets in [Formula Presented]collisions at [Formula Presented] using the DØ 1992–1995 data set corresponding to [Formula Presented] We exclude at the 95% confidence level the production of excited quarks [Formula Presented] with masses below 775 GeV/[Formula Presented] the most restrictive limit to date. We also exclude standard-model-like [Formula Presented][Formula Presented] bosons with masses between 300 and 800 GeV/[Formula Presented](400 and 640 GeV/[Formula Presented] A [Formula Presented]boson with mass [Formula Presented] has been excluded by previous measurements, and our lower limit is therefore the most stringent to date. © 2004 The American Physical Society.

Simulation of the CMS prototype silicon pixel sensors and comparison with test beam measurements

Abstract:

Charge collection measurements performed on heavily irradiated p-spray dofz pixel sensors with a grazing angle hadron beam provide a sensitive determination of the electric field within the detectors. The data are compared with a complete charge transport simulation of the sensor which includes signal trapping and charge induction effects. A linearly varying electric field based upon the standard picture of a constant type-inverted effective doping density is inconsistent with the data. A two-trap double junction model implemented in ISE TCAD software can be tuned to produce a doubly-peaked electric field which describes the data reasonably well at two different fluences. The modeled field differs somewhat from previous determinations based upon the transient current technique. The model can also account for the level of signal trapping observed in the data. © 2004 IEEE.
