Experimental test of the flavor independence of the quark-gluon coupling constant
Physics Letters B 138:4 (1984) 317-324
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.Observation of hard processes in collisions of two quasi-real photons

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.On the measurement of sin2θw at HERA

Observation of F meson production in high energy e+e- annihilation
Physics Letters B 136:1-2 (1984) 130-134
Abstract:
Production of the F meson by e+e- annihilation at high energies has been obsrved in the φ{symbol}π final state with a mass of 1.975 ± 0.009 ± 0.010 GeV and a width consistent with the mass resolution. The yield of F production times branching ratio relative to μ pair production is RF(x ≥ 0.3) B (F± → φ{symbol}π±) = 0.061 ± 0.012 ± 0.018. © 1984.Properties of charm jets produced in e+e- annihilation near 34 GeV
