Abstract:

We performed a direct search for the anomalous ZZ and Z couplings by studying pp» +X (=e,) events at s=1.8 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the transverse energy spectrum of the photon in the signal events, based on the data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 14.3 pb-1 (13.7 pb-1) for the electron (muon) channel, yields the following 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous CP-conserving ZZ couplings: |h30Z|<1.8 (h40Z=0) and |h40Z|<0.5 (h30Z=0), for a form-factor scale =500 GeV. Limits for the Z couplings and CP-violating couplings are also discussed. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report on a study of W + photon production in approximately 20 pb-1 of p-p collisions at s=1.8 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Our results are in good agreement with standard model expectations and are used to obtain limits on anomalous CP-conserving WW couplings of -2.3<<2.2 for =0 and -0.7<<0.7 for =0 at 95% C.L. We obtain the same limits for CP-violating couplings. These results provide limits on the higher-order electromagnetic moments of the W boson of 0.8

Abstract:

Deep inelastic e-p scattering has been studied in both the charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) reactions at momentum transfers squared Q2 above 400 GeV2 using the ZEUS detector at the HERA ep collider. The CC and NC total cross sections, the NC to CC cross section ratio, and the differential cross sections d/dQ2 are presented. From the Q2 dependence of the CC cross section, the mass term in the CC propagator is determined to be MW=76 16 13 GeV. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

This paper presents the first direct measurement of the B meson differential cross section dσ/dpT in pp̄ collisions at s=1.8 TeV using a sample of 19.3±0.7 pb-1 accumulated by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The cross section is measured in the central rapidity region |y|<1 for pTB>6.0 GeV /c by fully reconstructing the B meson decays B+→J/ψK+ and B0→J/ψK*0892, where J/ψ→μ+μ- and K*0→K+π-. A comparison is made to the theoretical QCD prediction calculated at next-to-leading order. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The lifetime of the Bs meson is measured using the semileptonic decay Bs→Ds-+νX. The data sample consists of 19.3 pb-1 of pp̄ collisions at s=1.8 TeV collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992-1993. There are 76±8 +Ds- signal events where the Ds is identified via the decay Ds-→φπ-, φ→K+K-. Using these events, the Bs meson lifetime is determined to be τs=1.42-0.23+0.27(stat)±0.11(syst) ps. A measurement of the Bs lifetime in a low statistics sample of exclusive Bs→J/ψ φ decays is also presented in this paper. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
