Abstract:

We have studied at CM energies of 14, 22 and 30-36.7 GeV e+e- annihilation events in which the hadronic final state contains both a proton and an antiproton in the momentum range 1.0 < p < GeV/c. We find that such pairs are produced predominantly in the same jet and conclude that baryon-antibaryon production is dominated by a mechanism involving local compensation of baryon number. © 1984.

Abstract:

e+e- annihilation into hadrons was studied at CM energies between 39.8 and 45.2 GeV and a search was made for new heavy quarks. No evidence was found for the existence of a narrow state excluding the possible existence of the lowest vector toponium state in this mass range. A search for continuum production of heavy quarks led to lower mass limits for new quarks of 22.0 GeV (eQ = 2 3) and 21.0 GeV (eQ = 1 3). Quarks are found to be pointlike, the corresponding mass parameter being larger than 288 GeV. A fit of the QCD and the electroweak contributions to R=σtot/σμμ yielded sin2θW = 0.30-0.07+0.23. © 1984.

Abstract:

Reconstruction of charged D*'s produced inclusively in e+e-. annihilation at CM energies near 34.4 GeV is accomplished in the decay modes D*+→D0π+→K -gp+π0π+ and D*+→D0π+→ K-gp+π-π+π+ and their charge conjugates. Using these and previously reported D*+→D0π+→K- gp+π+ and D*+→D0π+→ K-gp+π+ + missing π0 channels we present evidence for hard gluon bremsstrahlung from charm quarks and show that the ratio of the quark-gluon coupling constant of charm quarks to the coupling constant obtained in the average hadronic event, αsc αrms = 100 ± 0.20 ± 1.20. Our result provides evidence that the quark-gluon coupling constant is independent of flavor. © 1984.

Abstract:

Hard processes in photon-photon collisions are studied using high statistics data without requiring an electron tag. A high yield of hadrons with pt in the range 1.5-3.0 GeV/c is observed. This yield exceeds the expectation of the Born term by a factor of four. © 1984.
