Abstract:

A search for physics beyond the Standard Model has been performed with high-Q2 neutral current deep inelastic scattering events recorded with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Two data sets, e+p→e +X and e-p→e-X, with respective integrated luminosities of 112 pb-1 and 16 pb-1, were analyzed. The data reach Q2 values as high as 40000 GeV2. No significant deviations from Standard Model predictions were observed. Limits were derived on the effective mass scale in eeqq contact interactions, the ratio of leptoquark mass to the Yukawa coupling for heavy leptoquark models and the mass scale parameter in models with large extra dimensions. The limit on the quark charge radius, in the classical form factor approximation, is 0.85×10 -16 cm. © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:

The photoproduction of D*±(2010) mesons associated with a leading neutron has been observed with the ZEUS detector in ep collisions at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 80 pb-1. The neutron carries a large fraction, xL>0.2, of the incoming proton beam energy and is detected at very small production angles, θn< 0.8 mrad, an indication of peripheral scattering. The D* meson is centrally produced with pseudorapidity η<1.5, and has a transverse momentum pT>1.9 GeV, which is large compared to the average transverse momentum of the neutron of 0.22 GeV. The ratio of neutron-tagged to inclusive D* production is 8.85±0.93(stat.) +0.48-0.61(syst.)% in the photon-proton center-of-mass energy range 130
