Abstract:

We present a preliminary study of a new technique for measuring B-s(0) mixing and CP violation using the decay Bs0 --> J/phi phi, phi --> K+K-, J/phi --> mu(+)mu(-). This technique utilizes the unequal lifetimes of the B-s(0) CP even and odd eigenstates, and an angular variable decomposition of the CP content of the final state. This study is based on CDF Run-I observations and Run-II projections, and predicts that the B-s(0) mixing parameter x(s) can be measured with high accuracy in untagged samples if this approach is adopted. A large CP asymmetry may also be possible to measure. The accuracy of this method is shown to increase for higher values of x(s) as the lifetime splitting of the CP eigenstates increases. The measurement of x(s) does nor depend on tagging, whereas the observation of a CP-violating asymmetry does.

Abstract:

The dependence of the photon structure on the photon virtuality, Q2, is studied by measuring the reaction e+p → e+ + jet + jet + X at photon-proton centre-of-mass energies 134 < W < 223 GeV. Events have been selected in the Q2 ranges ≃ 0 GeV2, 0.1-0.55 GeV2, and 1.5-4.5 GeV2, having two jets with transverse energy E(T)/(jet) > 5.5 GeV in the final state. The dijet cross section has been measured as a function of the fractional momentum of the photon participating in the hard process, x(γ)/(OBS). The ratio of the dijet cross section with x(γ)/(OBS) < 0.75 to that with x(γ)/(OBS) > 0.75 decreases as Q2 increases. The data are compared with the predictions of NLO pQCD and leading-order Monte Carlo programs using various parton distribution functions of the photon. The measurements can be interpreted in terms of a resolved photon component that falls with Q2 but remains present at values of Q2 up to 4.5 GeV2. However, none of the models considered gives a good description of the data. (C) Copyright 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
