Search for the production of pionium atoms near threshold

Betker, A.C. ; Cameron, J.M. ; Jacobs, W.W. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 77 (1996) 3510-3513, 1996.
Inspire Record 429517 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19609

We propose a model-independent method to extract a linear combination of the s-wave π−π scattering lengths by measuring the γγ decay branching ratio for a tagged sample of π+π− atoms (pionium). In the first experimental search for an appropriate tagging reaction, we observed σtot=76±21±11pb for free pion pair production in pd→3Heπ+π− 1.0 MeV above threshold. This result suggests a pionium production cross section ≲1pb.

Search for third generation leptoquarks in anti-p p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8-TeV

The CDF collaboration Abe, F. ; Akimoto, H. ; Akopian, A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 78 (1997) 2906-2911, 1997.
Inspire Record 427318 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42235

We present the results of a search for third generation leptoquark (LQ) pairs in 110±8pb−1of p¯p collisions at s=1.8TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We assume third generation leptoquarks decay to a τ lepton and a b quark with branching ratio β. We observe one candidate event, consistent with standard model background expectations. We place upper limits on σ(p¯p→LQLQ¯)̇β2 as a function of the leptoquark mass MLQ. We exclude at 95% confidence level scalar leptoquarks with MLQ<99GeV/c2, gauge vector leptoquarks with MLQ<225GeV/c2, and nongauge vector leptoquarks with MLQ<170GeV/c2 for β=1.

Observation of single pion production by a weak neutral current.

Barish, S.J. ; Cho, Y. ; Derrick, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 33 (1974) 448, 1974.
Inspire Record 89586 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.51354

In exposures of the Argonne National Laboratory 12-ft bubble chamber filled with hydrogen and deuterium to a neutrino beam, we have observed events consisting of (1) a single π+ meson originating in the liquid, and (2) a proton with an e+e− pair pointing to it. Only a small fraction of these events can be ascribed to known reactions such as np→nnπ+ and np→npπ0. The remaining events, which correspond to a signal of about 4.5 standard deviations, we ascribe to the reactions νp→νnπ+ and νpπ0.

Inclusive electroproduction of forward protons from neutron and proton targets

Bebek, C.J. ; Brown, C.N. ; Herzlinger, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 34 (1975) 1115, 1975.
Inspire Record 98990 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21921

We report new measurements of the inclusive electroproduction of forward protons carried out at the Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory at Cornell University. Data were taken with deuterium at the (W, Q2) points (2.15 GeV, 1.2 GeV2), (2.15, 4.0), and (3.11, 1.2); data were taken with hydrogen at these points and at the points (2.15, 2.0), (2.67, 3.3), and (3.11, 1.7). The invariant structure function is presented in terms of W, Q2, and ω.

Search for Charmed Particle Production in 15-GeV/c pi+ p Interactions

Baltay, C. ; Cautis, C.V. ; Cohen, Daniel H. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 34 (1975) 1118, 1975.
Inspire Record 2041 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21924

A search for the production of charmed particles in 15-BeV/c π+p interactions has been carried out. The search was sensitive to charmed particles in the 1.5 to 4.0 BeV mass range, with lifetimes ≲10−11 sec, decaying into a strange particle with up to eight additional pions. No evidence for the production of such particles was found.

Study of gluon versus quark fragmentation in Upsilon --> g g gamma and e+ e- --> q anti-q gamma events at s**(1/2) = 10-GeV.

Inspire Record 439530 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47233

Using data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we determine the ratio R(chrg) for the mean charged multiplicity observed in Upsilon(1S)->gggamma events, to the mean charged multiplicity observed in e+e- -> qqbar gamma events. We find R(chrg)=1.04+/-0.02+/-0.05 for jet-jet masses less than 7 GeV.

We present a measurement and comparison of the χc1 and χc2 production cross sections determined from interactions of 300-GeV/c π± and p with a Li target. We find χc1χc2 production ratios of 0.52−0.27+0.57 and 0.08−0.15+0.25 from reactions induced by π± and p, respectively.

The Missing Mass Squared Dependence of the Average Charged Particle Multiplicity in the Reaction K+ p --> K0 X++ from 5-GeV/c-16-GeV/c

Chliapnikov, P.V. ; Gerdyukov, L.N. ; Minaev, N.G. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 52 (1974) 375-380, 1974.
Inspire Record 90218 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.50028

The average charged particle multiplicity, 〈 n ch ( M X 2 )〉, in the reaction K + p→K o X ++ is studied as a function of the mass squared, M X 2 , of the recoil system X and also as a function of the K o transverse momentum, p T , at incident momenta of 5.0, 8.2 and 16.0 GeV/ c . The complete data samples yield distributions which are not independent of c.m. energy squared, s , They exhibit a linear dependence on log ( M X 2 X / M o 2 )[ M o 2 =1 GeV 2 ] with a change in slope occurring for M X 2 ≈ s /2, and do not agree with the corresponding distributions of 〈 n ch 〉 as a function of s for K + p inelastic scattering. Sub-samples of the data for which K o production via beam fragmentation, central production and target fragmentation are expected to be the dominant mechanisms show that, within error, the distribution of 〈 n ch ( M X 2 )〉 versus M X 2 is independent of incident momentum for each sub-sample separately. In particular in the beam fragmentation region the 〈 n ch ( M X 2 )〉 versus M X 2 distribution agrees rather well with that of 〈 n ch 〉 versus s for inelastic K + p interactions. The latter result agrees with recent results on the reactions pp → pX and π − p → pX in the NAL energy range. Evidence is presented for the presence of different production mechanisms in these separate regions.

rivet Analysis
Inclusive production of neutral pions in hadronic Z decays.

The ALEPH collaboration Barate, R. ; Buskulic, D. ; Decamp, D. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 74 (1997) 451-461, 1997.
Inspire Record 427131 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47655

A measurement of the inclusive production of π0 mesons in hadronic Z decays is presented and compared to Monte Carlo model predictions. The analysis is based on approximately 2 million hadronic events recorded with the ALEPH detector at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of ⊡s = 91.2 GeV. Neutral pions are reconstructed using photons measured in the electromagnetic calorimeter and photons from conversion pairs. The inclusive π0 momentum spectrum is measured in the range 0.025 < xp = p/pbeam < 1. In this range the number of π0 per hadronic Z is found to be 4.80 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.31(sys). The differential inclusive π0 cross section is also measured as a function of transverse momentum with respect to the event plane (pTin and pTout).
