Abstract:

We report the first observation of Bs0→ψ(2S) decay in pp̄ collisions at s= 1.96 TeV using 360 pb-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We observe 20.2±5.0 and 12.3±4.1 Bs0→ψ(2S) candidates, in ψ(2S)→μ+μ- and ψ(2S)→J/ψπ+π- decay modes, respectively. We present a measurement of the relative branching fraction B(Bs0→ψ(2S) /B(Bs0→J/ψ)=0.52±0.13(stat)±0.04(syst)±0.06(BR) using the ψ(2S)→μ+μ- decay mode. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The cross sections for charged and neutral current deep inelastic scattering in e + p collisions with a longitudinally polarised positron beam have been measured using the ZEUS detector at HERA. The results, based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 23.8 pb -1 at sqrt(s) = 318   GeV, are given for both e + p charged current and neutral current deep inelastic scattering for both positive and negative values of the longitudinal polarisation of the positron beam. Single differential cross sections are presented for the kinematic region Q 2 > 200   GeV 2. The measured cross sections are compared to the predictions of the Standard Model. A fit to the data yields σ CC ( P e = - 1 ) = 7.4 ± 3.9 ( stat. ) ± 1.2 ( syst. )   pb, which is consistent within two standard deviations with the absence of right-handed charged currents in the Standard Model. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
