Abstract:

The 4-jet events collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP1 in 1992, 1993 and 1994 are analysed to determine the contribution of the triple-gluon vertex. Two of the four jets are tagged as jets from b-or c-quarks using lifetime and lepton transverse momentum information. The 4-jet contributions from double-gluon brems Strahlung, the triple-gluon vertex, and secondary quark-antiquark pair production then yield significantly different two-dimensional distributions in the generalized Nachtmann Reiter angle versus the opening angle of the two secondary jets. These distributions are used to fit CA/CF, the ratio of the coupling strength of the triple-gluon vertex to that of gluon bremsstrahlung, and NC/NA, the ratio of the number of quark colours to the number of gluons, giving CA/CF = 2.51 ± 0.28 and NC/NA = 0.38 ∓ 0.10 in agreement with the values expected from QCD: CA/CF= 9/4 = 2.25 and NC/NA = 3/8 = 0.375. © 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

Charged particle production has been measured in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) events over a large range of x and Q2 using the ZEUS detector. The evolution of the scaled momentum, xp, with Q2, in the range 10 to 1280 GeV2, has been investigated in the current fragmentation region of the Breit frame. The results show clear evidence, in a single experiment, for scaling violations in scaled momenta as a function of Q2. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

Oscillations of B0s mesons were studied in events with a large transverse momentum lepton selected from 3.2 million hadronic Z0 decays registered by DELPHI between 1991 and 1994. A limit on the mass difference between the physical B0s states Δms > 6.5ps-1 at 95% C.L. was obtained by combining the results obtained in three channels. © 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

Events containing an isolated prompt photon with high transverse energy, together with a balancing jet, have been observed for the first time in photoproduction at HERA. The data were taken with the ZEUS detector, in a γp centre of mass energy range 120-250 GeV. The fraction of the incoming photon energy participating in the production of the prompt photon and the jet, xγ, shows a strong peak near unity, consistent with LO QCD Monte Carlo predictions. In the transverse energy and pseudorapidity range 5 ≤ EγT < 10 GeV, -0.7 ≤ ηγ < 0.8, EjetT ≥ 5 GeV, and -1.5 ≤ ηjet ≤ 1.8, with xOBSγ > 0.8, the measured cross section is 15.3 ± 3.8 ± 1.8 pb, in good agreement with a recent NLO calculation. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
