Abstract:

A method of vertex triggering which uses a time difference measurement to determine the z coordinate of a track is under development for the ZEUS Central Tracking Detector. This incorporates a pipelined readout system. We describe the system and report on its performance. © 1989.

Abstract:

The UA2 experiment at the CERN pp Collider has identified a total sample of 251 W→eν events. Among this sample 221 events are found without jets and 29 with one jet. The yield of one-jet events relative to that of zero-jet events provides a measurement of the strong coupling constant: αs(Mw2)=0.13±0.03(stat) ±0.03±(syst1)±0.02(syst2), where syst1 represents the experimental systematic error and syst2 is an estimate of the theoretical uncertainty. © 1988.
