Abstract:

A study of the fragmentation properties of charm and bottom quarks into D mesons is presented. From 263 700 Z0 hadronic decays collected in 1991 with the DELPHI detector at the LEP collider, D0, D+ and D*+ are reconstructed in the modes K-π+, K-π+K+ and D0π+ followed by D0→K-π+, respectively. The fractional decay widths {Mathematical expression} are determined, and first results are presented for the production of D mesons from {Mathematical expression} and {Mathematical expression} events separately. The average energy fraction of D*± in charm quark fragmentation is found to be 〈XE(D*)〉c=0.487± 0.015 (stat)±0.005 (sys.). Assuming that the fraction of Ds and charm-baryons produced at LEP is similar to that around 10 GeV, the Z0 partial width into charm quark pairs is determined to be Γc/Γh=0.187±0.031 (stat)±0.023 (sys). The probability for a b quark to fragment into {Mathematical expression} or b-baryons is inferred to be 0.268±0.094 (stat)±0.100 (sys) from the measured probability that it fragments into a {Mathematical expression} or B-. © 1993 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:

An analysis of the production of the Λ baryon in the hadronic decays of the Z0 is presented, based on about 993K multihadronic events collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP during 1991 and 1992. The differencial cross section of the Λ and the correlations between Λ and Λ produced in the same event are compared to current models, based both on string fragmentation and on cluster decay. The predictions of the string fragmentation model are found to give satisfactory agreements with the data, clearly better than those of the cluster model. © 1993.

Abstract:

This paper presents our first measurement of the F2 structure function in neutral-current, deep inelastic scattering using the ZEUS detector at HERA, the ep colliding beam facility at DESY. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 24.7 nb-1. Results are presented for data in range of Q2 from 10 GeV2 to 4700 GeV2 and Bjorken x down to 3.0 × 10-4. The F2 structure function increases rapidly as x decreases. © 1993.

Abstract:

This paper reports a search for excited electrons at the HERA electron-proton collider. In a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 26 nb-, no evidence was found for any resonant state decaying into e-γ, νW- or e-Z0. Limits on the coupling strength of an excited electron have been determined for masses between 45 and 225 GeV. This study also reports the observation of the wide-angle eγ Compton scattering process. © 1993.
