Abstract:

A new combined test of an electromagnetic liquid argon accordion calorimeter and a hadronic scintillating-tile calorimeter was carried out at the CERN SPS. These devices are prototypes of the barrel calorimeter of the future ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The energy resolution of pions in the energy range from 10 to 300 GeV at an incident angle θ of about 12° is well described by the expression σ/E = ((41.9 ± 1.6)%/√E + (1.8 ± 0.1)%)⊕(1.8 ± 0.1)/E, where E is in GeV. The response to electrons and muons was evaluated. Shower profiles, shower leakage and the angular resolution of hadronic showers were also studied. Results are compared with those from the previous beam test.

Abstract:

An analytical study was carried out to account for spin correlation effects in the production of tt̄ pairs in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV. It was found that κ > -0.25 at the 68% confidence level.

Abstract:

Top quark production offers the unique opportunity to search for a charged Higgs boson (H±), as the contribution from t→H+b→τ+νb can be large in extensions of the standard model. We use results from a search for top quark pair production by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in the eτ+Slashed E signT+jets and μτ+Slashed E signT+jets signatures to set an upper limit on the branching ratio of ℬ(t→H+b) in 106 pb-1 of data. The upper limit is in the range 0.5 to 0.6 at 95% C.L. for H+ masses in the range 60 to 160 GeV, assuming the branching ratio for H+→τν is 100%. The τ lepton is detected through its 1-prong and 3-prong hadronic decays. ©2000 The American Physical Society.
