Abstract: The inclusive production of the neutral vector mesons K-*0(892) and phi(1020), and of the tensor meson K-2(*0)(1430), in hadronic decays of the Z has been mea sured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The average production rates per hadronic Z decay have been determined to be 0.77 +/- 0.08 K-2(*0)(892), 0.104 +/- 0.008 phi(1020) and 0.079 +/- 0.040 K-2(*0)(1430). The ratio of the tensor-to-vector meson production yields, [K-2(*0)(1430)]/[K-*0(892)] = 0.10 +/- 0.05, is smaller than the [f(2)(1270)]/[rho(0)(770)] and [f'(2)(1525)]/[phi(1020)] ratios measured by DELPHI. The production rates and differential cross sections are compared with the predictions of JETSET 7.4 tuned to the DELPHI data and of HERWIG 5.8. The K-*0(892) and phi(1020) data are compatible with model predictions, but a large disagreement is observed for the K-2(*0)(1430).

Abstract: A search for stable or long-lived heavy charged particles in e+e- interactions at energies of 130-136, 161 and 172 GeV has been performed using the data taken by the DELPHI experiment at LEP. The search is based on particle identification provided by the Time Projection Chamber and the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are derived on the cross-section for heavy long-lived pair-produced charge ±e and ±2/3e particles in the range of 0.4-2.3 pb for masses from 45 to 84 GeV/c2. Within supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, long-lived charginos with masses from 45 to 84 (80) GeV/c2 for high (low) sneutrino masses can be excluded at 95% confidence level. Left-handed (right-handed) long-lived or stable smuons and staus with masses between 45 and 68 (65) GeV/c2 can be excluded at 95% confidence level. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: A search for stable or long-lived heavy charged particles in e(+)e(-) interactions at energies of 130-136, 161 and 172 CeV has been performed using the data taken by the DELPHI experiment at LEP. The search is based on particle identification provided by the Time Projection Chamber and the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are derived on the cross-section for heavy long-lived pair-produced charge +/-e and +/-2/3e particles in the range of 0.4-2.3 pb for masses from 45 to 84 GeV/c(2). Within supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, long-lived charginos with masses from 45 to 84 (80) GeV/c(2) for high (low) sneutrino masses can be excluded at 95% confidence level. Left-handed (right-handed) long-lived or stable smuons and staus with masses between 45 and 68 (65) GeV/c(2) can be excluded at 95% confidence level. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: In a sample of 3.02 million hadronic Z(0) decays collected by the DELPHI detector, 270 J/psi –> e(+)e(-) candidates have been selected. A search for fully reconstructed B-c(+/-) mesons has yielded one B-c(+/-) –> J/psi pi(+/-) candidate, no B-c(+/-) –> J/psi e(+/-) nu(e) candidates, and one B-c(+/-) –> J/psi pi(+)pi(-)pi(+) candidate, consistent with expected background in each channel. The following 90% confidence level upper limits ate determined: Br(Z(0) –> B-c(+/-) X) x Br(B-c(+/-) –> J/psi pi(+)) < (1.05 to 0.84) x 10(-4) and Br(Z(d) –> B-c(+/-) X) x Br(B-c(+/-) –> J/psi e(+/-) nu(e)) < (5.8 to 5.0) x 10(-5), where the ranges quoted correspond to the range of predicted B-c(+/-) lifetimes from 0.4 to 1.4 ps, and Br(Z(0) –> B-c(+/-) X) x Br(B-c(+/-) –> J/psi pi(+)pi(-)pi(+/-)) < 1.75 x 10(-4), constant over the range of predicted B-c(+/-) lifetimes.

Abstract: A search with the DELPHI detector at LEP for excited leptons (e*, μ*, τ* and v*) decaying through γ, W or Z transitions is reported. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 10 pb-1 at an e+e- centre-of-mass energy of 161 GeV. The search for pair produced excited leptons established the limits me* > 79.6 GeV/c2, mμ* > 79.6 GeV/c2, mτ* > 79.4 GeV/c2 and mv* > 56.4 GeV/c2 at 95% confidence level, assuming that the SU(2) and U(1) couplings of excited leptons are in the same ratio as for normal leptons and considering both left and right-handed components. Limits corresponding to other assumptions are also given. The search for single excited lepton production established upper limits on the ratio λ/mℓ* of the coupling of the excited lepton to its mass.

Abstract: The hadronic fragmentation functions of the various quark flavours and of gluons are measured in a study of the inclusive hadron production from Z(0) decays with the DELPHI detector and are compared with the fragmentation functions measured elsewhere at energies between 14 GeV and 91 GeV. A large scaling violation is observed, which is used to extract the strong coupling constant from a fit using a numerical integration of the second order DGLAP evolution equations. The result is alpha(s)(M-Z) = 0.124(-0.007)(+0.006) (exp) +/- 0.009(theory) where the first error represents the experimental uncertainty and the second error is due to the factorization and renormalization scale dependence.

Abstract: A search with the DELPHI detector at LEP for excited leptons (e*, mu*, tau* and nu*) decaying through gamma, W or Z transitions is reported. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 10 pb(-1) e(+)e(-) centre-of-mass energy at an e of 161 GeV. The search for pair produced excited leptons established the limits m(e)* > 79.6 GeV/c(2), m(mu)* > 79.6 GeV/c(2), m(tau)* 79.4 GeV/c(2) and m(nu)* > 56.4 GeV/c(2) at 95% confidence level, assuming that the SU(2) and U(I) couplings of excited leptons are in the same ratio as for normal leptons and considering both left and right-handed components. Limits corresponding to other assumptions are also given. The search for single excited lepton production established upper limits on the ratio lambda/m(l)* of the coupling of the excited lepton to its mass.

Abstract: Results are presented of a search for pair production of heavy objects decaying into four hadronic jets, as expected for example from associated or pair production of MSSM Higgs bosons, hA or H+H-, using a data sample of 5.9 pb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collisions at root s = 130-136 GeV collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP in November 1995. The data and expectations from standard processes agree after four-jet selections. An analysis based on b-tagging finds no hA candidate with high mass. A study optimized to search for H+H- events with mass in the 40-50 GeV/c(2) range also finds no candidate, Finally a comparison is made with a recent ALEPH analysis which found an excess of four-jet events with high multiplicity and high mass. Such a signal is not observed in the DELPHI data, although a slight excess in the mass region around 105 GeV/c(2) is seen.

Abstract: An upper limit for BR(Z(0) –> 3g) is obtained from a correlation method, which distinguishes statistically between quark and gluon jets by using the difference in their charged particle multiplicity distributions. From the sample of threefold symmetric three-jet events collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP during 1991-1994, the 95% confidence level upper limit is deduced to be: BR(Z(0) –> 3g) less than or equal to 1.6 x 10(-2) for the JADE and BR(Z(0) –> 3g) less than or equal to 1.5 x 10(-2) for the DURHAM jet-finder.

Abstract: The inclusive production of the neutral vector mesons K-*0(892) and phi(1020), and of the tensor meson K-2(*0)(1430), in hadronic decays of the Z has been mea sured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The average production rates per hadronic Z decay have been determined to be 0.77 +/- 0.08 K-2(*0)(892), 0.104 +/- 0.008 phi(1020) and 0.079 +/- 0.040 K-2(*0)(1430). The ratio of the tensor-to-vector meson production yields, [K-2(*0)(1430)]/[K-*0(892)] = 0.10 +/- 0.05, is smaller than the [f(2)(1270)]/[rho(0)(770)] and [f’(2)(1525)]/[phi(1020)] ratios measured by DELPHI. The production rates and differential cross sections are compared with the predictions of JETSET 7.4 tuned to the DELPHI data and of HERWIG 5.8. The K-*0(892) and phi(1020) data are compatible with model predictions, but a large disagreement is observed for the K-2(*0)(1430).

Abstract: This letter reports the results of the measurement of single photon production in the reaction e(+)e(-) –> gamma+ invisible particles at centre-of-mass energies root s = 130 and 136 GeV and an integrated luminosity of 5.83 pb(-1), collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP. The signal is compatible with the prediction of the Standard Model for the process e(+)e(-) –> nugamma, and the number of neutrino families has been determined to be N-nu = 3.1 +/- 0.6. Limits have been derived on anomalous neutral gauge boson couplings and on compositeness in the framework of a specific model.

Abstract: The tau lepton lifetime has been measured using three different methods with the DELPHI detector. Two measurements of one-prong decays are combined, accounting for correlations, giving a result of tau(tau) = 291.8 +/- 3.3 (stat.) +/- 2.0(sys.) fs while the decay length distribution of three-prong decays gives the result tau(tau) = 286.7 +/- 4.9 (stat.) +/- 3.3 (sys.) fs. Combining the results presented here with previous DELPHI measurements, we get tau(tau) = 291.4 +/- 3.0 fs and find that the ratio of the coupling constant for tau decay relative to that for muon decay is 0.990 +/- 0.009, compatible with lepton universality.

Abstract: From the data collected by DELPHI at LEP in autumn 1995, the multiplicity of charged particles at a hadronic energy of 130 GeV has been measured to be [n(ch)] = 23.84 +/- 0.51(stat) +/- 0.52(syst), When compared to lower energy data, the value measured is consistent with the evolution predicted by QCD with corrections at next-to-leading order, for a value alpha(s) (130 GeV) = 0.105 +/- 0.003(stat) +/- 0.008(syst).

Abstract: A search for fully reconstructed Lambda(b)(0) beauty baryons is performed using about 3 million Z decays collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP. The analysis relies on the combined use of the accurate tracking and of the hadron identification capabilities of DELPHI. A total of four events has been found, three in the Lambda(c)(+)pi(-) channel and one in the Lambda(c)(+)a(1)(-) channel over a small background. The Lambda(b)(0) beauty baryon mass is measured to be (5668 +/- 16 (stat.) +/-8 (syst.)) MeV/c(2).

Abstract: The average lifetime of b-baryons has been studied using 3 × 106 hadronic Z0 decays collected by the DEL-PHI detector at LEP. Three methods have been used, based on the measurement of different observables: the proper decay time distribution of 206 vertices reconstructed with a Λ, a lepton and an oppositely charged pion; the impact parameter distribution of 441 muons with high transverse momentum accompanied by a Λ in the same jet; and the proper decay time distribution of 125 Λc-lepton decay vertices with the Λc exclusively reconstructed through its pKπ, pK0 and Λ3π decay modes. The combined result is: τ(b-baryon) = (1.254-0.109+0.121(stat) ±0.04(syst)-0.05+0.03(syst)) ps where the first systematic error is due to experimental uncertainties and the second to the uncertainties in the modelling of the b-baryon production and semi-leptonic decay. Including the measurement recently published by DELPHI based on a sample of proton-muon vertices, the average b-baryon lifetime is : τ(b-baryon) = (1.255-0.102+0.115(stat) ±0.05) ps. © Springer-Verlag 1996.

Abstract: Reconstructed ii baryon decays and photon conversions in DELPHI are used to measure the Sigma(0) production rate from hadronic Z(0) decays at LEP. The number of Sigma(0) decays per hadronic Z decay is found to be: > = 0.070 +/- 0.010 (stat.) +/- 0.010 (syst.). The Omega(-) production rate is similarly measured to be: = 0.0014 +/- 0.0002 (stat.) +/- 0.0004 (syst.) by a combination of methods using constrained fits to the whole decay chain and particle identification.

Abstract: During the last 1995 data acquisition period at LEP, the DELPHI experiment collected an integrated luminosity of 5.9 pb(-1) at centre-of-mass energies of 130 GeV and 136 GeV. Radiative leptonic events (e, mu, tau) With high energy photons were studied and compared to Standard Model predictions. The data were used to search for charged excited leptons decaying through an electromagnetic transition. No significant signal was found. From the search for pair produced excited leptons, the limits m(e)* > 62.5 GeV/c(2), m(mu)* > 62.6 GeV/c(2) and m(tau)* > 62.2 GeV/c(2) at 95% confidence level were established. For single excited lepton production, upper limits on the ratio lambda/m(l)* of the coupling of the excited charged lepton to its mass were derived.

Abstract: The inclusive production of the f(2)’(1525) in hadronic Z(0) decays has been studied in data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors were important tools in the identification of the decay f(2)’(1525) –> K+K-. The average number of f(2)(’)(1525) produced per hadronic Z decay, [f(2)’] = 0.020 +/- 0.005 (stat) +/- 0.006 (syst), and the momentum distribution of the f(2)’(1525) have both been measured. The mass and width of the f(2)’(1525) are found to be [M(f2)’] = 1535 +/- 5 (stat) +/- 4 (syst) MeV/c(2). [Gamma(f2)’] = 60 +/- 20 (stat) +/- 19 (syst) MeV/c(2)

Abstract: Semileptonic decays B –> D*(-)l(+)nu X were selected from a sample of 3.1 million hadronic Z decays collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP. A topological search for semileptonic B decays to resonant and non-resonant D*(-)pi(+) states was performed and the ratio of the branching fractions: Br(B –> D*(-)l(+)nu X)/Br(B –> D*(-)l(+)nu X) + Br(B-0 –> D*(-)l(+)nu) = 0.19 +/- 0.10(stat) +/- 0.06(syst) was determined. Taking into account this contribution, the differential decay width of B-0 –> D*(-)l(+)nu was measured as a function of the momentum transfer from the B to the D*(-) in two separate analyses, using exclusive and inclusive methods of D*(-) reconstruction. The distributions were fitted over the full momentum transfer range to extract the product of /V-cb/ times the normalization of the decay form factor F(q(max)(2)): F(q(max)(2))/V-cb/ = (35.4 +/- 1.9(stat) +/- 2.4(syst)) . 10(-3). The value of /V-cb/ was computed using theoretical calculations of F(q(max?2), giving: /V-cb/ = (38.9 +/- 2.0(stat) +/- 2.6(syst) +/- 1.7(theory)) . 10(-3). The total branching fraction Br(B-0 –> D*(-)l(-)nu) was determined to be: Br(B-0 –> D*(-)l(+)nu) = (5.52 +/- 0.17(stat) +/- 0.68(syst))%.

Abstract: An analysis is presented of inclusive pi(0) production in Z(0) decays measured with the DELPHI detector, At low energies, pi(0) decays are reconstructed by using pairs of converted photons and combinations of converted photons and photons reconstructed in the: barrel electromagnetic calorimeter (HPC). At high energies (up to x(p) = 2 . p(pi)/root s = 0.75) the excellent granularity of the HPC is exploited to search for two-photon substructures in single showers, The inclusive differential cross section is measured as a function of energy for q (q) over bar and b (b) over bar events, The number of pi(0)’s per hadronic Z(0) event is N(pi(0))/Z(had)(0) = 9.2 +/- 0.2(stat) +/- 1.0(syst) and for b (b) over bar events the number of pi(0),s is N(pi(0))/b (b) over bar = 10.1 +/- 0.4(stat) +/- 1.1(syst). The ratio of the number of pi(0)’s in b (b) over bar events to hadronic Z(0) events is less affected by the systematic errors and is found to be 1.09 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.01. The measured pi(0) cross sections are compared with the predictions of different parton shower models. For hadronic events, the peak position in the xi(p) = ln(l/X(p)) distribution is xi(p)* = 3.90(-0.14)(+0.24). The average number of pi(0)’s from the decay of primary B hadrons is found to be N(B –> pi(0) X)/B hadron = 2.78 +/- 0.15(stat) +/- 13.60(syst).

Abstract: The partial decay width of the Z to quark pairs has been measured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. B-hadrons, containing b-quarks, were tagged by several methods using tracks with large impact parameters to the primary vertex complemented sometimes by event shape variables or using leptons with high transverse momentum relative to the hadron, In order to reduce the systematic uncertainties, in all methods the b-tagging efficiency has been extracted directly from the data. Combining all methods, the value: Gamma()/Gamma(had) = 0.2216 +/- 0.0016(stat.) +/- 0.0021(syst.) was found, where the production fraction was fixed to its Standard Model value.

Abstract: A measurement of the mass difference, Delta m(d), be tween the two physical B-d(0) states has been obtained from the analysis of the impact parameter distribution of a lepton emitted at large transverse momentum (p(t)) relative to the jet axis and from the analysis of the flight distance distribution of secondary vertices tagged by either a high p(t) lepton or an identified kaon. In the opposite hemisphere of the event, the charge of the initial quark has been evaluated using a high p(t) lepton, a charged kaon or the mean jet charge, With 1.7 million hadronic Z(0) decays recorded by DELPHI between 1991 and 1993, Delta m(d) is found to be: Delta m(d) = 0.531 (+0.050)(-0.046) (stat.) +/- 0.078 (syst.) ps(-1).

Abstract: Using data accumulated by DELPHI during the November 1995 LEP run at 130-136 GeV, searches have been made for events with jets or leptons in conjunction with missing momentum, The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the production of neutralinos, scalar leptons, and scalar quarks.

Abstract: Rare decays of beauty particles were studied in several charmless modes using the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP from 1991 to 1994. These decays are mediated by both tree level b–>u and one-loop penguin b–>s, d transitions. Evidence for charmless B decays was obtained in two body hadronic modes. The branching ratios of B-d,s(0) to pi(+)pi(-) or K(+)pi(-) and B-u(-) to rho(0) pi(-) or K(*0)pi(-) were found to be (2.8(-1.0)(+1.5) +/- 0.2) x 10(-5) and (1.7(-0.8)(+1.2) +/- 0.2) x 10(-4) respectively. The fraction of these decays with a charged kaon in the final state that is not from the spectator s quark, was measured to be 0.58 +/- 0.18. Upper limits were set at 90% confidence level on the branching ratios for three and four body charmless hadronic decays in the range of (1-3) x 10(-4), for inclusive radiative b–>s gamma decays at 5.4 x 10(-4), for inclusive radiative b–>s gamma decays at 5.4 x 10(-4), for the exclusive radiative decays B-d(0)–>K*(892)(0) gamma and B-s(0)–>phi(1020)gamma at 2.1 x 10(-4) and 7.0 x 10(-4) respectively, and for dineutrino decays, b–>, in the exclusive channels B-d(0)–>K*(892)(0) nu and B-2(0)–>phi(1020) at 1.0x10(-3) respectively. The limits on dineutrino decays constrain theories with a new U(1) gauge boson coupling predominantly to the third family of fermions.

Abstract: This paper presents an update of the measurement of the mean lifetime of the B-s(0) meson. Combining D-s - l, D-s - h, phi - l and inclusive D-s final states from the 3.2 million hadronic Z decays collected by DELPHI between 1991 and 1994, the B-s(0) mean lifetime was measured to be: tau(B-s(0)) = 1.67 +/- 0.14 ps.

Abstract: A sample of events enriched in quark pairs was selected in the data recorded by the DELPHI experiment at LEP during 1992 and 1993, by the presence of secondary decay vertices from short-lived particles. Using this sample, the average multiplicities of K-S(0), K-+/-, p((p) over bar), Lambda() and of charged particles in events have been measured, distinguishing the component from fragmentation and the component coming from the decay of b-hadrons. The measurement of the average charge multiplicity in events was used to compute the mean fractional beam energy carried by the primary b-hadron, and the difference in charged particle multiplicity between events and light quark (, , ) events.

Abstract: For the first time, multihadronic production from single tagged gamma gamma collisions has been studied, where one of the scattered leptons was tagged at very low virtual photon absolute mass squared ([Q(2)] = 0.06 (GeV/c(2))(2)). Data collected during 1991 and 1992 in the DELPHI experiment at LEP are shown to agree well with predictions which included the non-perturbative vector meson dominance model in which the interacting photons are assumed to have converted into a vector meson (rho, omega or pi), a quark-parton model which describes direct photon interactions and a QCD-based model which considers the photon to have quark and gluon structure functions. Five different parametrizations of these structure functions were used and the predictions compared with the data. This study confirms recent results from no-tag experiments in requiring a QCD-based component to successfully describe the data, indicating that the photon has a significant partonic content.

Abstract: Charmless hadronic decays of beauty mesons have been searched for using the data collected with the DELPHI detector at the LEP collider. Several two, three and four-body decay modes have been investigated. Particle identification was used to distinguish the final states with protons, kaons and pious. Three candidate events selected in two-body decay modes are interpreted as evidence for charmless B decays. No excess has been found in higher multiplicity modes and improved upper limits for some of the branching ratios are given.

Abstract: The DELPHI collaboration has searched for lepton flavour violating decays \tau \rightarrow \mu \gamma and \tau \rightarrow e \gamma using a data sample of about 70~pb^{-1} of integrated luminosity corresponding to 81 000 produced \tau^+ \tau^- events. No candidates were found for either of the two modes. This yields branching ratio upper limits of \rm{B}( \tau \rightarrow e \gamma ) < 1.1 \times 10^{-4} and \rm{B} ( \tau \rightarrow \mu \gamma) < 6.2 \times 10^{-5} at 90\% confidence level.

Abstract: A measurement of the Delta(++)(1232) inclusive production in hadronic decays of the Z at LEP is presented, based on 1.3 million hadronic events collected by the DELPHI detector in the 1994 LEP running period. The DELPHI ring imaging Cherenkov counters are used for identifying hadrons. The average Delta(++)(1232) multiplicity per hadronic event is 0.079 +/- 0.015 which is more than a factor of two below the JETSET, HERWIG and UCLA model predictions. It agrees with a recently proposed universal mass dependence of particle production rates in e(+)e(-) annihilations.

Abstract: A sample of 25000 Z(0) –> tau(-)tau(+) events collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP in 1991 and 1992 is used to measure the leptonic branching fractions of the tau lepton. The results are B(tau –> e nu) = (17.51+/-0.39)% and B(tau –> mu nu) = (17.02+/-0.31)%. The ratio of the muon and electron couplings to the weak charged current is measured to be g(mu)/g(e) = 1.000+/-0.013, satisfying e-mu universality. The average leptonic branching fraction corrected to the value for a massless lepton, assuming e-mu universality, is found to be B(tau –> l nu) = (17.50+/-0.25)%.

Abstract: A search has been made for direct production of heavy quarkonium states in more than 3 million hadronic Z(0) decays in the 1991-1994 DELPHI data, Prompt J/psi, psi(2S) and Upsilon candidates have been searched for through their leptonic decay modes using criteria based on the kinematics and decay vertex positions. New upper limits are set at the 90% confidence level for Br(Z(0) –> (Q (Q) over bar) X)/Br(Z(0) –> hadrons) for various strong production mechanisms of J/psi and Upsilon; these range down to 0.9 x 10(-4). The limits are set in the presence of a small excess (similar to 1% statistical probability of a background fluctuation) in the sum of candidates from prompt J/psi, psi(2S), Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) relative to the estimated background.

Abstract: Measurements are presented of short range three-particle correlations in e(+)e(-) annihilations at LEP using data collected by the DELPHI detector. At small values of the four-momentum difference, strong three-particle correlations are observed for like-sign (+++ and —) and for unlike-sign (++- and +–) pion combinations which are not a consequence of two-particle correlations. A possible explanation of the observed effects in like-sign combinations is the existence of higher order Bose-Einstein interference, which significantly changes the particle distributions in jets.

Abstract: This analysis, based on a sample of 170000 hadronic Z(0) decays, provides a measurement of the K-+/- and p/($) over bar p differential cross sections which is compared to string- and cluster fragmentation models. The total multiplicities for K-+/- and pip per hadronic event were found to be: N-K = 2.26 +/- 0.18 and N-p = 1.07 +/- 0.14. The positions xi* of the maxima of the differential cross sections as a function of xi = In(1/x(p)) for K-+/- and p/($) over bar p were determined to be 2.63 +/- 0.07 and 2.96 +/- 0.16 respectively. A comparison of the xi* values for various identified particles measured at LEP with the prediction of the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation with Local Parton Hadron Duality model has been performed. The measured xi* position as a function of the hadron mass, after corrections due to particle decays, is in agreement with the model calculation.

Abstract: The lifetimes of charged and neutral B hadrons have been measured using data collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP between 1991 and 1993. B hadrons are tagged as jets with a secondary vertex and the charge of the B candidate is taken to be the sum of the charges of the particles in the secondary vertex. Approximately 1,434,000 multihadronic \PZz decays yielded 1817 B hadron candidates. The B purity was estimated to be around 99.1\pm0.3\%, and 83\% (70\%) of the events measured as neutral (charged) came from neutral (charged) B's. The mean lifetimes of charged and neutral B hadrons were found to be \TAUBC\pm\ERRBC\;(stat.)\pm\SYSBC\;(syst.)~ps and \TAUBN\pm\ERRBN\;(stat.)\pm\SYSBN\;(syst.)~ps respectively. The ratio of their lifetimes, \tau_{charged}/\tau_{neutral}, was \RAT10^{\ERRCNP}_{\ERRCNM}\;(stat.)\pm\SYSR10\;(syst.). By making assumptions about the \PsB and \PlB states, the \PbBp and \PbBz meson lifetimes were determined to be \tau_{{\rm B}^+}=\TAUBP\pm\ERRBP\;(stat.)\pm\ SYSBP\;(syst.)~ps and \tau_{{\rm B}^0}=\TAUBZ\pm\ERRBZ\;(stat.)\pm \SYSBZ\;(syst.)~ps and the ratio of their lifetimes was:\\ \tau_{{\rm B}^+}/\tau_{{\rm B}^0} = \RATPZ^{\ERRPZP}_{\ERRPZM}\; \pm \SYSRP . The mean \PbB lifetime was also deduced to be = 1.64\pm0.06\; (\mbox{ stat.}) \pm\SYSB\;(\mbox{ syst.}) \; \mbox{ ps.}

Abstract: The DELPHI collaboration has searched for lepton flavour violating decays tau –> mu gamma and tau –> e gamma using a data sample of about 70 pb(-1) of integrated luminosity corresponding to 81 000 produced tau(+)tau(-) events. No candidates were found for either of the two modes. This yields branching ratio upper limits of B(tau –> e gamma) < 1.1 x 10(-4) and B(tau –> mu gamma) < 6.2 x 10(-5) at 90% confidence level.

Abstract: Experimental evidence for the existence of orbitally excited B meson states is presented in an analysis of the B pi and B*pi distribution of Q = m(B**) - m(B(*)) - m(pi) using Z(0) decay data taken with the DELPHI detector at LEP. The mean Q-value of the decays B** –> B(*)pi is measured to be 284 +/-5 (stat.) +/- 15 (syst.) MeV/c(2), and the Gaussian width of the signal is 79 +/- 5 (stat.) +/- 8 (syst) MeV/c(2). This signal can be described as a single resonance of mass m = 5732+/-5 (stat.) +/- 20(syst.) MeV/c(2) and full width Gamma = 145 +/- 28 MeV/c(2). The observed shape is also consistent with the production of several broad and narrow states as predicted by the quark model and partly observed in the D-meson sector. The production rate of B** per b-jet is found to be 0.27 +/- 0.02(stat.) +/- 0.06 (syst.).

Abstract: For the first time, multihadronic production from single tagged γγ collisions has been studied, where one of the scattered leptons was tagged at very low virtual photon absolute mass squared (〈Q2〉 = 0.06 (GeV/c2)2). Data collected during 1991 and 1992 in the DELPHI experiment at LEP are shown to agree well with predictions which included the non-perturbative vector meson dominance model in which the interacting photons are assumed to have converted into a vector meson (ρ{variant}, ω or π), a quark-parton model which describes direct photon interactions and a QCD-based model which considers the photon to have quark and gluon structure functions. Five different parametrizations of these structure functions were used and the predictions compared with the data. This study confirms recent results from no-tag experiments in requiring a QCD-based component to successfully describe the data, indicating that the photon has a significant partonic content. © 1995.

Abstract: The time dependent mixing of B-d(0)-(B) over bar(d)(0) mesons has been observed by using the correlations between the charge of D-* mesons and the weighted mean charge of particles in each hemisphere. From a reconstructed D-*+/- sample corresponding to about 1.7 million hadronic Z(0) decays, the mass difference between the two B-d(0) mass eigenstates has been measured to be hm = 0.50 +/- 0.12 (stat.) +/- 0.06 (syst.) (h) over bar/ps or, converting into eV/c(2): Delta m = [3.29 +/- 0.79 (stat.) +/- 0.39 (syst.)] 10(-4) eV/c(2).

Abstract: J/psi mesons have been reconstructed from their decay to mu(+)mu(-) and e(+)e(-), using the data collected by the DELPHI experiment during 1991 and 1992 at the LEP collider. From about 1 million hadronic Z decays 153 +/- 17 J/psi were found, 5.4 +/- 2.3 psi’ were obtained in the channel J/psi(–> mu(+)mu(-))pi(+)pi(-) and 6.4 +/- 2.7 chi(c) in the channel J/psi(–> mu(+)mu(-))gamma. As the dominant source of J/psi mesons is from b quarks, the following branching ratios: Br(b–>J/psi X) = (1.12 +/- 0.12 (stat.) +/- 0.10 (syst.))%, Br(b –> psi’ X) = (0.48 +/- 0.22 (stat.) +/- 0.10 (syst.))%, Br(b–>chi(cl) X) = (1.4 +/- 0.6 (stat.)(-0.2)(+0.4) (syst.))% were measured. From the proper time distribution of the J/psi sample, the average lifetime of b-hadrons decaying into J/psi was found to be: tau(B) = 1.50(-0.21)(+0.24) (stat.) +/- 0.03 (syst.) ps. A search for completely reconstructed B meson decays to final states including a J/psi gave a signal of 15 +/- 5 events.

Abstract: Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare genetic disorder of the autonomic nervous system resulting in decreased brain sensitivity to hypercapnia and hypoxia characterized by a genetic abnormality in the pair-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) gene. Most patients have a heterozygous expansion of the polyalanine repeat in exon 3 (PARM), while 10 % of patients have non-PARM (NPARM) mutations that can span the entire gene. The majority of pathogenic variants are de novo, but variants with incomplete penetrance can be identified in the heterozygous state. In the present report, CCHS was diagnosed in a symptomatic 3-month-old infant with neonatal respiratory distress. Genetic analysis revealed a new mutation in exon 1 of the PHOX2B gene - p.Ser28* (c.83C>G) - which was further identified in two family members, one minimally symptomatic and one asymptomatic. The identification of this new mutation supports the importance of sequencing the entire gene even when the classic PARM mutation is not found and highlights the phenotypic variability of CCHS., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest There is no financial support and no conflict of interest to declare for all the authors., (Copyright © 2024 Société française de pédiatrie.

Abstract: Introduction: Asthma associated with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is often severe and corticosteroid-dependent, leading to significant morbidity. Mepolizumab and benralizumab are humanized monoclonal antibodies targeting interleukin 5 (IL-5) and its receptor, respectively. They have been shown to be effective in steroid-sparing in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma., Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab and benralizumab prescribed for severe asthma in patients with EGPA under "real-world" conditions., Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with EGPA and persistent asthma who received either mepolizumab 100 or 300 mg administered every 4 weeks, or benralizumab 30 mg administered every 4 weeks for the initial 3 injections and followed by an injection every 8 weeks thereafter, whilst combined with oral glucocorticoids. The follow-up every 6 ± 3 months included an assessment of clinical manifestations, pulmonary function tests and eosinophil cell count. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients at 12 months receiving a daily oral dose of prednisone or equivalent of 4 mg or less with a BVAS of 0., Results: Twenty-six patients were included. After 12 months of treatment with mepolizumab or benralizumab, 32% of patients met the primary outcome and were receiving less than 4 mg of prednisone per day with a BVAS of 0. The median dose of prednisone was 10 mg per day at baseline, 9 mg at 6 months, and 5 mg at 12 months ( p ≤ 0.01). At 12 months, 23% of patients were weaned off corticosteroids, while an increase or no change in dose was observed in 27% of patients. The median eosinophil count was significantly reduced from 365 cells/mm 3 to 55 cells/mm 3 at 6 months and 70 cells/mm 3 at 12 months, respectively. No significant change was observed in FEV1. After 12 months of treatment, 14% of patients had had an average of 1 exacerbation of asthma, compared with 52% of patients before baseline. The tolerability profile was favorable., Conclusion: In this real-world study in patients with severe asthma and a history of EGPA asthma, mepolizumab and benralizumab had a significant steroid-sparing effect and reduced asthma exacerbation, but no significant effect on lung function., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Desaintjean, Ahmad, Traclet, Gerfaud-Valentin, Durel, Glerant, Hot, Lestelle, Mainbourg, Nasser, Seve, Turquier, Devouassoux and Cottin.)

Abstract: Background: Benralizumab is effective in the treatment of eosinophilic asthma and is being investigated for the treatment of other eosinophil-associated diseases. Reports on the use of benralizumab for the treatment of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) are limited to case reports and small case series., Methods: We conducted a multicentre, retrospective study including EGPA patients treated with off-label benralizumab. The primary endpoint was the rate of complete response defined as no disease activity (Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score=0) and a prednisone dose ≤4 mg/day. Partial response was defined as no disease activity and a prednisone dose ≥4 mg/day., Results: Sixty-eight patients were included, including 31 (46%) who had previously received mepolizumab. The use of benralizumab was warranted by uncontrolled asthma in 54 (81%), persistent ear, nose and throat (ENT) manifestations in 27 (40%) and persistent glucocorticoids (GCs) use in 48 (74%) patients. Median (IQR) follow-up after starting benralizumab was 23 (9-34) months. Thirty-three patients (49%) achieved a complete response, 24 (36%) achieved a partial response and 10 (15%) did not respond. Among the 57 patients who initially responded, 10 (18%) eventually required further line treatments. GCs were discontinued in 23 patients (38%). Prior mepolizumab use was associated with a higher rate of primary failure (26.7% vs 5.4%, p=0.034) and less frequent GCs discontinuation (14.8% vs 55.9%, p=0.001). Vasculitis flares occurred in 7 patients (11%) and were associated with histological evidence of vasculitis and/or antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies positivity at benralizumab initiation (p=0.004)., Conclusions: Benralizumab appears to be an effective treatment for refractory asthma or ENT manifestations in EGPA and allows GC-sparing. However, its efficacy was lower after prior failure of mepolizumab., Competing Interests: Competing interests: The authors declare no financial support.

Abstract: Background: Interleukin-5 (IL-5) inhibitors represent novel therapies for eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). This study assessed the effectiveness and safety of the IL-5 receptor inhibitor benralizumab in a European cohort of patients with EGPA., Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with EGPA from 28 European referral centres of the European EGPA Study Group across six countries (Italy, France, UK, Russia, Spain, and Switzerland) who received benralizumab as any line of treatment between Jan 1, 2019, and Sep 30, 2022. We assessed the rates of complete response, defined as no disease activity (Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score [BVAS] of 0) and a prednisone dose of up to 4 mg/day, in contrast to partial response, defined as a BVAS of 0 and a prednisone dose greater than 4 mg/day. Active disease manifestations, pulmonary function, variation in glucocorticoid dose, and safety outcomes were also assessed over a 12-month follow-up., Findings: 121 patients with relapsing-refractory EGPA treated with benralizumab at the dose approved for eosinophilic asthma were included (64 [53%] women and 57 [47%] men; median age at the time of beginning benralizumab treatment 54·1 years [IQR 44·2-62·2]). Complete response was reported in 15 (12·4%, 95% CI 7·1-19·6) of 121 patients at month 3, 25 (28·7%, 19·5-39·4) of 87 patients at month 6, and 32 (46·4%, 34·3-58·8) of 69 patients at month 12; partial response was observed in an additional 43 (35·5%, 27·0-44·8) patients at month 3, 23 (26·4%, 17·6-37·0) at month 6, and 13 (18·8%, 10·4-30·1) at month 12. BVAS dropped from 3·0 (IQR 2·0-8·0) at baseline to 0·0 (0·0-2·0) at months 3 and 6, and to 0·0 (0·0-1·0) at month 12. The proportion of patients with systemic manifestations, active peripheral neurological disease, ear, nose, and throat involvement, and pulmonary involvement decreased, with an improvement in lung function tests. Six patients relapsed after having a complete response. The oral prednisone (or equivalent) dose decreased from 10·0 mg/day (5·0-12·5) at baseline to 5·0 mg/day (3·6-8·5) at month 3 (p<0·01), to 5·0 mg/day (2·5-6·3) at month 6, and to 2·5 mg/day (0·0-5·0) at month 12 (p<0·0001). 19 (16%) of 121 patients had adverse events and 16 (13%) discontinued benralizumab., Interpretation: These data suggest that benralizumab could be an effective treatment for EGPA in real-life clinical practice. Further clinical trials are required to confirm the efficacy of benralizumab in patients with a higher baseline disease activity., Funding: None., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests ABer and RP report receiving consulting fees from GSK outside the current work.
