Abstract: The authors present a measurement of the left-right cross-section asymmetry (ALR) for Z boson production by e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} collisions. The measurement includes the final data taken with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) during the period 1996--1998. Using a sample of 383,487 Z decays collected during the 1996-1998 runs they measure the pole-value of the asymmetry, A{sub LR}{sup 0}, to be 0.15056 {+-} 0.00239 which is equivalent to an effective weak mixing angle of sin{sup 2}Sigma{sub W}{sup eff} = 0.23107 {+-} 0.00030. The result for the complete 1992--1998 dataset comprising 537 thousand Z decays is sin{sup 2}Sigma{sub W}{sup eff} = 0.23097 {+-} 0.00027.

Abstract: Photoluminescence (PL) analysis is used to study porous layers elaborated by electrochemical etching of n+ Si-doped GaAs substrate with different etching times. Temperature and power dependence photoluminescence (PL) studies were achieved to characterize the effect of the etching time on the deep levels of the n+ Si-doped GaAs. The energy emission at about 1.46 eV is attributed to the band-to-band (B–B) (e–h) recombination of a hole gas with electrons in the conduction band. The emission band is composed of four deep levels due to the complex of (VAsSiGaVGa), a complex of a (Ga vacancy – donor – As vacancy), a (SiGa–VGa3−) defect or Si clustering, and a (gallium antisite double acceptor-effective mass donor pair complex) and which peaked, respectively, at about (0.94, 1, 1.14, and 1.32 eV). The PL intensity behavior as function of the temperature is investigated, and the experimental results are fitted with a rate equation model with double thermal activation energies.

Abstract: Inhibitory effect of some new synthesized bipyrazole compounds, namely, N,N-bis[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-N-(4-methylphenyl)amine (P1) and methyl-1-[((methylphenyl){[3-(methoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]methyl}amino)methyl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (P2) on corrosion of pure iron in 1 M HCl solution has been studied using chemical technique as weight loss and electrochemical techniques as potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization and impedance. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from gravimetric, cathodic Tafel plots, linear polarization resistance and EIS methods are in good agreement. The results obtained reveal that these compounds are efficient inhibitors. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of inhibitor concentration to reach 93% for P1 at 2.5 × 10−4 M. Potentiodynamic polarisation studies clearly reveal that P1 and P2 act as mixed-type inhibitors without change of the mechanism of hydrogen evolution. The temperature effect on the corrosion behaviour of iron in 1 M HCl without and with the inhibitors at 2.5 × 10−4 M has been studied in the temperature range from 298 to 353 K. EIS measurements show that the increase of the transfer resistance with the inhibitor concentration. The inhibitors are adsorbed on the iron surface according to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. From the adsorption isotherm some thermodynamic data for the adsorption process (K and Δ G ads ° ) are calculated and discussed.

Abstract: We present final measurements of the Z boson-lepton coupling asymmetry parameters Ae, Amu, and Atau with the complete sample of polarized Z bosons collected by the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. From the left-right production and decay polar angle asymmetries in leptonic Z decays we measure Ae = 0.1544 +- 0.0060, Amu = 0.142 +- 0.015, and Atau = 0.136 +- 0.015. Combined with our left-right asymmetry measured from hadronic decays, we find Ae = 0.1516 +- 0.0021. Assuming lepton universality, we obtain a combined effective weak mixing angle of sin**2 theta^{eff}_W = 0.23098 +- 0.00026., 13 pages latex, including 1 figure. Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett

Abstract: We have made the first direct symmetry tests in the decays of polarized Z0 bosons into fully identified bbg states, collected in the SLD experiment at SLAC. We searched for evidence of parity violation at the bbg vertex by studying the asymmetries in the b-quark polar- and azimuthal-angle distributions, and for evidence of T-odd, CP-even or CP-odd, final-state interactions by measuring angular correlations between the three-jet plane and the Z0 polarization. We found results consistent with standard model expectations and set 95% C. limits on anomalous contributions.

Abstract: The authors have made the first direct measurement of the parity-violating coupling of the Z{sup 0} boson to the strange quark, A{sub s}, using {approximately}550,000 e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} --> Z{sup 0} --> hadrons event produced with a polarized electron beam and recorded by the SLD experiment. Z{sup 0} s anti-s events were tagged by the absence of B or D hadrons and the presence in each hemisphere of a high-momentum K{sup {+-}} or K{sub s}{sup 0}. From the polar angle distributions of the strangeness-signed thrust axis, the authors obtained A{sub s} = 0.895{+-}0.066(stat.){+-}0.062(syst.). The analyzing power and u anti-u + d anti-d background were constrained using the data.

Abstract: The authors have developed a new technique for inclusive reconstruction of the energy of B hadrons. The excellent efficiency and resolution of this technique allow them to make the most precise determination of the b-quark fragmentation function, using e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} {r{underscore}arrow} Z{sup 0} decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. The authors compared their measurement with the predictions of a number of fragmentation models. The authors excluded several of these models and measured the average scaled energy of weakly-decaying B hadrons to be (x{sub B}) = 0.714{+-}0.005(stat){+-}0.007(syst){+-}0.002 (model-dependence).

Abstract: The parity violation parameters Ab and Ac of the Zb anti-b and Zc anti-c couplings have been measured directly, using the polar angle dependence of the Z0-pole polarized cross sections. Bottom and charmed hadrons were tagged via semileptonic decays. Both the muon and electron identification algorithms take advantage of new multivariate techniques, incorporating for the first time information from the SLD Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector. Based on the 1993-95 SLD sample of 150,000 Z0 decays produced with highly polarized electron beams, we measure: Ab = 0.910 ± 0.068(stat) ± 0.037(syst) Ac = 0.642 ± 0.110(stat) ± 0.063(syst).

Abstract: We present a direct measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A{sub b} in the Z{sup 0} to b anti-b coupling using a new technique to distinguish the b and anti-b quarks using charged kaons from B decays. The Z{sup 0} bosons are produced in e{sup +}e{sup -} collisions at the SLC with longitudinally polarized electrons. b anti-b events are selected using a secondary vertex mass tag and A{sub b} is determined from the left-right forward-backward asymmetry. From the 1994-1995 data sample, selected from 100,000 hadronic Z{sup 0} decays, we obtain A{sub b} = 0.855 {+-} 0. 088{sub stat} {+-} 0.102{sub sys}.

Abstract: We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter ${A}_{b}$ using a self-calibrating track-charge technique. In the SLAC Linear Collider Large Detector (SLD) experiment we observe hadronic decays of ${Z}^{0}$ bosons produced in collisions between longitudinally polarized electrons and unpolarized positrons at the SLAC Linear Collider. A sample of $b\overline{b}$ events is selected using the topologically reconstructed mass of $B$ hadrons. From our 1993--1995 sample of approximately 150 000 hadronic ${Z}^{0}$ decays, we obtain ${A}_{b}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.911\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.045(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.045(\mathrm{syst})$.

Abstract: We report a new measurement of Rb = Gamma(Z0->b-bbar) / Gamma(Z0->hadrons) using a double tag technique, where the b hemisphere selection is based on the reconstructed mass of the B hadron decay vertex. The measurement was performed using a sample of 130k hadronic Z0 events, collected with the SLD at the SLC. The method utilizes the 3-D vertexing abilities of the CCD pixel vertex detector and the small stable SLC beams to obtain a high b-tagging efficiency and purity. We obtain Rb=0.2142+/-0.0034(stat.)+/-0.0015(syst.)+/-0.0002(R_c)., 11 pages including 3 eps files

Abstract: We present a new measurement of the tau neutrino helicity, hnu and the tau Michel parameters rho, eta, xi and the product delta xi. The analysis exploits the highly polarized SLC electron beam to extract these quantities directly from a measurement of the tau decay spectra, using the 1993-1995 SLD data sample of 4328 e+e- --> Z0 --> tau+tau- events. From the decays tau --> pi nu(tau) and tau --> rho nu(tau) we obtain a combined value hnu=-0.93+/-0.10+/-0.04. The leptonic decay channels yield combined values of rho=0.72+/-0.09+/-0.03, xi=1.05+/-0.35+/-0.04 and delta xi=0.88+/-0.27+/-0.04.

Abstract: We present evidence for leading particle production in hadronic decays of the Z{sup 0} boson to light-flavor jets. A polarized electron beam was used to tag quark and antiquark jets, and a vertex detector was employed to reject heavy-flavor events. Charged hadrons were identified with a Cherenkov ring imaging detector. In the quark jets, more high-momentum p, L, K{sup -}, and {bar K}{sup *0} were observed than their antiparticles, and vice versa for antiquark jets, providing direct evidence that the higher-momentum particles in jets are more likely to carry the primary quark or antiquark from the Z{sup 0} decay, and that s{bar s} production is suppressed in fragmentation. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Abstract: We present a new measurement of the left-right cross section asymmetry (ALR) for Z boson production by e+e- collisions. The measurement was performed at a center-of-mass energy of 91.28 GeV with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). The luminosity-weighted average polarization of the SLC electron beam was (77.23+-0.52)%. Using a sample of 93,644 Z decays, we measure the pole-value of the asymmetry, ALR0, to be 0.1512+-0.0042(stat.)+-0.0011(syst.) which is equivalent to an effective weak mixing angle of sin**2(theta_eff)=0.23100+-0.00054(stat.)+-0.00014(syst.).

Abstract: We have measured the proton and deuteron spin structure functions g[sup p][sub 1] and g[sup d][sub 1] in the region of the nucleon resonances for W2 < 5GeV2 and Q2(similar, equals)0.5 and Q2(similar, equals)1.2GeV2 by inelastically scattering 9.7 GeV polarized electrons off polarized 15NH3 and 15ND3 targets. We observe significant structure in g[sup p][sub 1] in the resonance region. We have used the present results, together with the deep-inelastic data at higher W2, to extract Gamma (Q2)(equivalent)01 g1(x,Q2)dx. This is the first information on the low-Q2 evolution of Gamma toward the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn limit at Q2 = 0.

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the left-right charge asymmetry ${A}_{Q}^{\mathrm{obs}}$ in hadronic $Z$ boson decays. This was performed at ${E}_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}91.27\mathrm{GeV}$ with the SLD at the SLAC Linear Collider with a polarized electron beam. Using 89 838 events we obtain ${A}_{Q}^{\mathrm{obs}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.225\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.056\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.019$, which leads to a measurement of the electron left-right asymmetry parameter, ${A}_{e}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.162\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.041\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.014$, and ${sin}^{2}{\ensuremath{\theta}}_{W}^{\mathrm{eff}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.2297\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0052\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0018$. Also, the ${A}_{Q}^{\mathrm{obs}}$ measurement combined with the left-right cross section asymmetry determines ${A}_{e}$ independent of the value of the electron-beam polarization.

Abstract: We have measured proton and deuteron virtual photon-nucleon asymmetries A{sup p}{sub 2} and A{sup d}{sub 2} and structure functions g{sup p}{sub 2} and g{sup d}{sub 2} over the range 0.03 < x < 0.8 and 1.3 < Q{sup 2} < 10 (GeV/c){sup 2} by inelastically scattering polarized electrons off polarized ammonia targets. Results for A{sub 2} are significantly smaller than the positivity limit (sqrt)R for both targets. Within experimental precision the g{sub 2} data are well described by the twist-2 contribution, g{sup ww}{sub 2}. Twist-3 matrix elements have been extracted and are compared to theoretical predictions.

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the correlation between the {ital Z}{sup 0} spin and the event-plane orientation in polarized {ital Z}{sup 0} decays into three jets in the SLAC Linear Collider Large Detector experiment at SLAC utilizing a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The {ital CP}-even and {ital T}-odd triple product {ital {rvec S}}{sub {ital Z}}{center_dot}({ital {rvec k}}{sub 1}{times}{ital {rvec k}}{sub 2}), formed from the two fastest jet momenta {ital {rvec k}}{sub 1} and {ital {rvec k}}{sub 2} and the {ital Z}{sup 0} polarization vector {ital {rvec S}}{sub {ital Z}}, is sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. We measure the expectation value of this quantity to be consistent with zero and set 95% C.L. limits of {minus}0.022{lt}{beta}{lt}0.039 on the correlation. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital The} {ital American} {ital Physical} {ital Society}.

Abstract: We report a measurement of the average {ital B} hadron lifetime using data collected with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider in 1993. An inclusive analysis selected three-dimensional vertices with {ital B} hadron lifetime information in a sample of 50{times}10{sup 3} {ital Z}{sup 0} decays. A lifetime of 1.564{plus_minus}0.030(stat){plus_minus}0.036(syst) ps was extracted from the decay length distribution of these vertices using a binned maximum likelihood method. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital The} {ital American} {ital Physical} {ital Society}.

Abstract: We have measured the ratio [ital g][sup [ital p]][sub 1]/[ital F][sup [ital p]][sub 1] over the range 0.029[lt][ital x][lt]0.8 and 1.3[lt][ital Q][sup 2][lt]10 (GeV/[ital c])[sup 2] using deep-inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from polarized ammonia. An evaluation of the integral [integral][ital g][sup [ital p]][sub 1]([ital x],[ital Q][sup 2])[ital dx] at fixed [ital Q][sup 2]=3 (GeV/[ital c])[sup 2] yields 0.127[plus minus]0.004(stat)[plus minus]0.010(syst), in agreement with previous experiments, but well below the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule prediction of 0.160[plus minus]0.006. In the quark-parton model, this implies [Delta][ital q]=0.27[plus minus]0.10.

Abstract: Using data collected in the region of the [Upsilon](4[ital S]) resonance with the CLEO II detector operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we report on evidence for the production of [Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup ++] and [Sigma][sub [ital e]][sup 0] baryons in [ital B] decays, with [Sigma][sub [ital c]][r arrow][Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +][pi]. This observation is based on 77[plus minus]19[Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup ++] and 76[plus minus]21[Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup 0] candidates from [ital B] decays. We find the product branching fractions [ital scrB]([ital [bar B]][r arrow][Sigma][sub [ital c]][ital X])[ital scrB]([Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +][r arrow][ital pK][sup [minus]][pi][sup +]) for [Sigma][sub [ital c]]=[Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup ++], [Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup 0], and [Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup +] to be (2.1[plus minus]0.8[plus minus]0.7)[times]10[sup [minus]4], (2.3[plus minus]0.8[plus minus]0.7)[times]10[sup [minus]4], and less than 4.8[times]10[sup [minus]4] at 90% confidence level, respectively. A study of the [Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup ++] and [Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup 0] momentum spectra indicates that [ital B] decays to two-body final states with [Sigma][sub [ital c]] are suppressed.

Abstract: Branching ratios for the dominant Cabibbo-suppressed decays of the $\tau$ lepton have been measured by CLEO~II in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation at CESR ($\sqrt{s} \sim 10.6$~GeV) using kaons with momenta below $0.7\ \rm GeV/c$. The inclusive branching ratio into one charged kaon is $(1.60 \pm 0.12 \pm 0.19)\%$. For the exclusive decays, $B(\tau \to K^-) = (0.66 \pm 0.07 \pm 0.09)\%$, $B(\tau \to K^- \pi^0) = (0.51 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.07)\%$, and, based on three events, $B(\tau \to K^- \pi^0 \pi^0) < 0.3\%$ at the 90\% confidence level. These represent significant improvements over previous results. $B(\tau\to K^- \pi^0)$ is measured for the first time with exclusive $\pi^0$ reconstruction., Comment: 11 pages uuencoded compressed postscript (process with uudecode then gunzip). hardcopies with figures can be obtained by sending mail to: preprints@lns62.lns.cornell.edu

Abstract: The branching fractions for the five-charged-particle decays of the [tau] lepton have been measured in [ital e][sup +][ital e][sup [minus]] annihilations using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. Assuming all charged particles to be pions, the results are [ital B](3[pi][sup [minus]]2[pi][sup +][ge]0 neutrals [nu][sub [tau]])=(0.097[plus minus]0.005[plus minus]0.011)%, [ital B](3[pi][sup [minus]]2[pi][sup +][nu][sub [tau]])=(0.077[plus minus]0.005 [plus minus]0.009)%, [ital B](3[pi][sup [minus]]2[pi][sup +][pi][sup 0][nu][sub [tau]])=(0.019[plus minus]0.004[plus minus]0.004)%, and [ital B](3[pi][sup [minus]]2[pi][sup +]2[pi][sup 0][nu][sub [tau]])[lt]0.011% at the 90% C.L. [ital B](3[pi][sup [minus]]2[pi][sup [minus]][pi][sup 0][nu][sub [tau]]) is measured for the first time by exclusive [pi][sup 0] reconstruction. The results are compared with the predictions from the partially conserved-axial-current and conserved-vector-current hypotheses assuming isospin invariance.

Abstract: Using data from the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we measure [ital scrB]([tau][sup [minus]][r arrow][ital h][sup [minus]][pi][sup 0][nu][sub [tau]]) where [ital h][sup [minus]] refers to either [pi][sup [minus]] or [ital K][sup [minus]]. We use three different methods to measure this branching fraction. The combined result is [ital scrB]([tau][sup [minus]][r arrow][ital h][sup [minus]][pi][sup 0][nu][sub [tau]])=0.2587[plus minus]0.0012[plus minus]0.0042, in good agreement with standard model predictions.

Abstract: Using the CLEO II data sample, with an integrated luminosity of 1.8 fb[sup [minus]1] at and near the [Upsilon](4[ital S]) resonance, we have observed a signal for [ital D][sup 0][r arrow][ital K][sup +][pi][sup [minus]], which could be due to either [ital D][sup 0][ital [bar D]][sup 0] mixing or doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay, or a combination of the two. We find [ital scrB]([ital D][sup 0][r arrow][ital K][sup +][pi][sup [minus]])/[ital scrB]([ital D][sup 0][r arrow][ital K][sup [minus]][pi][sup +])=0.0077[plus minus]0 .0025(stat) [plus minus]0.0025(syst).

Abstract: Using the CLEO II detector and a sample of 955 000 [Upsilon](4S) decays we have confirmed charmless semileptonic decays of [ital B] mesons. In the momentum interval 2.3--2.6 GeV/[ital c] we observe an excess of 107[plus minus]15[plus minus]11 leptons, which we attribute to [ital b][r arrow][ital ul][nu]. This result yields a model-dependent range of values for [vert bar][ital V][sub [ital u][ital b]]/[ital V][sub [ital c][ital b]][vert bar] that is lower than has been obtained in previous studies. For the inclusive spectator model of Altarelli [ital et] [ital al]. we find [vert bar][ital V][sub [ital u][ital b]]/[ital V][sub [ital c][ital b]][vert bar]=0.076[plus minus]0.008. Models that describe [ital b][r arrow][ital ul][nu] with a limited set of exclusive final states give [vert bar][ital V][sub [ital u][ital b]]/[ital V][sub [ital c][ital b]][vert bar]=0.06[minus]0.10.

Abstract: We report results from a search for the decays ${\mathit{B}}^{0}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, ${\mathit{B}}^{0}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathit{K}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, and ${\mathit{B}}^{0}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathit{K}}^{+}$${\mathit{K}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$. We find 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions, ${\mathit{B}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}$2.9\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}5}$, ${\mathit{B}}_{\mathit{K}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}$2.6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}5}$, and ${\mathit{B}}_{\mathit{K}\mathit{K}}$0.7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}5}$. While there is no statistically significant signal in the individual modes, the sum of ${\mathit{B}}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}$ and ${\mathit{B}}_{\mathit{K}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}$ exceeds zero with a significance of more than 4 standard deviations, indicating that we have observed charmless hadronic B decays.

Abstract: We observe the [Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup +] baryon decaying to [Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +][pi][sup 0] and measure the mass difference [ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup +])[minus][ital M]([Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +]) to be 168.5[plus minus]0.2 MeV/[ital c][sup 2]. We also measure the mass differences [ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup ++])[minus][ital M]([Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +]) and [ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup 0])[minus][ital M]([Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +]) with improved precision and determine the isospin mass splittings [ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup ++])[minus][ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup 0]) and [ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup +])[minus][ital M]([Sigma][sub [ital c]][sup 0]) to be 1.1[plus minus]0.4[plus minus]0.1 MeV/[ital c][sup 2] and 1.4[plus minus]0.5[plus minus]0.3 MeV/[ital c][sup 2], respectively. Our results indicate that the light quark mass difference does not dominate the isospin mass splitting in [Sigma][sub [ital c]].

Abstract: We have measured branching ratios for three [Lambda][sub [ital c]] decay modes that have a [Sigma][sup +] in the final state. Two of the observed decay modes, [Lambda][sub [ital c]][r arrow][Sigma][sup +][pi][sup 0] and [Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +][r arrow][Sigma][sup +][omega], have no external [ital W]-emission amplitudes. Their branching ratios relative to the [ital pK][sup [minus]][pi][sup +] mode are 0.20[plus minus]0.03[plus minus]0.03 and 0.54[plus minus]0.13[plus minus]0.06, respectively. We have also significantly improved the measurement of the branching ratio for the previously observed decay mode [Lambda][sub [ital c]][sup +][r arrow][Sigma][sup +][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]]. We find its branching ratio relative to [ital pK][sup [minus]][pi][sup +] to be 0.74[plus minus]0.07[plus minus]0.09.

Abstract: We report the measurement of new modes of the charmed baryon ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$ using data recorded by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We find branching ratios, relative to ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathit{pK}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$, of 0.070\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.011\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.011 for ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}}^{+}$${\mathit{K}}^{+}$${\mathit{K}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, 0.069\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.023\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.016 for ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\Sigma}\ensuremath{\varphi}, 0.078\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013 for ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{0}$${\mathit{K}}^{+}$, and 0.053\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.016\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.010 for ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\mathrm{*}0}$${\mathit{K}}^{+}$. These measurements indicate that W-exchange diagrams contribute to ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$ decay. We have also made a new measurement of the previously found mode ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{\mathit{c}}^{+}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$${\mathit{K}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$.

Abstract: Using data from CLEO II at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we provide a new measurement of the branching fraction for [ital D][sup 0][r arrow][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]], and we present the first measurements of [ital D][sup 0][r arrow][pi][sup 0][pi][sup 0] and of [ital D][sup +][r arrow][pi][sup +][pi][sup 0], which is due to an isospin changing [Delta][ital I]=3/2 transition. From these data we extract the ratio of isospin amplitudes [vert bar][ital A][sub 2]/[ital A][sub 0][vert bar], and the cosine of the relative phase [delta]=[delta][sub 2][minus][delta][sub 0] between these amplitudes, for [ital D][r arrow][pi][pi] decays. Unlike the situation in kaon decay where [ital A][sub 2] is strongly suppressed, we find [vert bar][ital A][sub 2]/[ital A][sub 0][vert bar]=0.72[plus minus]0.13[plus minus]0.11 and cos[delta]=0.14[plus minus]0.13[plus minus]0.09.

Abstract: We have measured the [ital B][sup 0][ital [bar B]0] mixing probability, [chi][sub [ital d]], using a sample of 965 000 [ital B[bar B]] pairs from [Upsilon](4[ital S]) decays. Counting dilepton events, we find [chi][sub [ital d]]=0.157[plus minus]0.016[plus minus]0.018[sub [minus]0.021][sup +0.028]. Using tagged [ital B][sup 0] events, we find [chi][sub [ital d]]=0.149[plus minus]0.023[plus minus]0.019[plus minus]0.010. The first (second) error is statistical (systematic). The third error reflects a [plus minus]15% uncertainty in the assumption, made in both cases, that charged and neutral [ital B] pairs contribute equally to dilepton events. We also obtain a limit on the [ital CP] impurity in the [ital B][sub [ital d]][sup 0] system, [vert bar]Re([epsilon][sub [ital B]][sup 0])[vert bar][lt]0.045 at 90% C.L.

Abstract: We have observed the decays [ital B][sup 0][r arrow][ital K][sup *](892)[sup 0][gamma] and [ital B][sup [minus]][r arrow][ital K][sup *](892)[sup [minus]][gamma], which are evidence for the quark-level process [ital b][r arrow][ital s][gamma]. The average branching fraction is (4.5[plus minus]1.5[plus minus]0.9)[times]10[sup [minus]5]. This value is consistent with standard model predictions from electromagnetic penguin diagrams.

Abstract: A limit on the tau neutrino mass [ital M][sub [nu][tau]] is obtained from a study of tau decays in the reaction [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]][r arrow][tau][sup +][tau][sup [minus]] at center-of-mass energies [similar to]10.6 GeV. The result is based on an end-point analysis of the invariant mass spectrum of the decay products in the decay modes [tau][sup [minus]][r arrow]3[ital h][sup [minus]]2[ital h][sup +][nu][sub [tau]] and [tau][sup [minus]][r arrow]2[ital h][sup [minus]][ital h+]2[pi][sup 0][nu][sub [tau]]. The data sample used in this analysis contains 1.77[times]10[sup 6] tau pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.92 fb[sup [minus]1], and is substantially larger than previous data samples used to place a limit on [ital M][sub [nu][tau]]. The limit obtained for both five-hadron modes together is 32.6 MeV at 95% C.L.

Abstract: With the CLEO-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have measured branching fractions for tau lepton decay into one-prong final states with multiple [pi][sup 0]'s [ital B][sub [ital h][ital n][pi]][sup 0], normalized to the branching fraction for tau decay into one charged particle and a single [pi][sup 0]. We find [ital B][sub [ital h]2[pi]][sup 0]/[ital B][sub [ital h][pi]][sup 0]=0.345[plus minus]0.006[plus minus]0.016, [ital B][sub [ital h]3[pi]][sup 0]/[ital B][sub [ital h][pi]][sup 0]=0.041 [plus minus]0.003[plus minus]0.005, and [ital B][sub [ital h]4[pi]][sup 0]/[ital B][sub [ital h][pi]][sup 0]=0.006[plus minus]0.002[plus minus]0.002.

Abstract: A search for the lepton mumber violating decay of the [tau] lepton to the [gamma][mu] final state has been performed with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]] storage ring CESR. In a data sample that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.55 fb[sup [minus]1], we observe no candidates in the signal region. We thus determine an upper limit of [ital B]([tau][sup [minus]][r arrow][gamma][mu][sup [minus]])[lt]4.2[times]10[sup [minus]6] at 90% confidence level.

Abstract: The tau lepton electron branching fraction has been measured with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as [ital B][sub [ital e]]=0.1749[plus minus]0.0014[plus minus]0.0022, with the first error statistical and the second systematic. The measurement involves counting electron-positron annihilation events in which both taus decay to electrons, and normalizing to the number of tau-pair decays expected from the measured luminosity. Detected photons in these events constitute a definitive observation of tau decay radiation.

Abstract: The decay [tau][sup [minus]][r arrow][nu][sub [tau]][pi][sup [minus]][pi][sup 0][eta] has been observed for the first time using the CLEO-II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The measured branching ratio (0.17[plus minus]0.02[plus minus]0.02)%, agrees with the CVC (conserved vector current) prediction based on [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]][r arrow][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]][eta] data. Upper limits on the branching ratios for other [tau] decays to final states including [eta] mesons are improved by an order of magnitude compared to previous measurements.

For radiative {ital D}{sup *+} decay, we obtain an upper limit, {ital scrB}({ital D}{sup *+}{r arrow}{ital D}{sup +}{gamma}){lt}4.2% (90% confidence level), which is substantially below previous results, and eliminates the need for an anomalously large charm quark magnetic moment.

Abstract: We have observed the previously unseen \ensuremath{\eta}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}^{+}$ and \ensuremath{\eta}'${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}^{+}$ decay model of the ${\mathit{D}}_{\mathit{s}}^{+}$, and measured branching ratios relative to the \ensuremath{\varphi}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$ mode of 2.86\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.${38}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.38}^{+0.36}$ and 3.44\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.${62}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.46}^{+0.44}$, respectively. In addition, the relative branching ratio for the decay into \ensuremath{\varphi}${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}^{+}$ is measured as 1.86\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.${26}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.40}^{+0.29}$. Combining these new measurements with previous results and those in the preceding Letter, we account for \ensuremath{\approxeq}(79\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}26)% of ${\mathit{D}}_{\mathit{s}}$ decays.

Abstract: A search for lepton flavor violating decays of the tau into either three charged leptons or one charged lepton and two charged hadrons was performed using 2.05 fb[sup [minus]1] of data collected by the CLEO-II experiment at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The upper limits obtained for 22 decay branching fractions are several times more stringent than those set previously.

Abstract: Exploiting the manipulation of the SLAC Linear Collider electron-beam polarization, we present precise direct measurements of the parity-violation parameters A(c) and A(b) in the Z-boson-c-quark and Z-boson-b-quark coupling. Quark-antiquark discrimination is accomplished via a unique algorithm that takes advantage of the precise SLAC Large Detector charge coupled device vertex detector, employing the net charge of displaced vertices as well as the charge of kaons that emanate from those vertices. From the 1996-1998 sample of 400 000 Z decays, produced with an average beam polarization of 73.4%, we find A(c)=0.673+/-0.029(stat)+/-0.023(syst) and A(b)=0.919+/-0.018(stat)+/-0.017(syst).
