Abstract: We report a new measurement of the decay Ω − → Ξ − π + π − with 76 events and a first observation of the decay Ω ¯ + → Ξ ¯ + π + π − with 24 events, yielding a combined branching ratio ( 3.74 − 0.56 + 0.67 ) × 10 − 4 . This represents a factor 25 increase in statistics over the best previous measurement. No evidence is seen for CP violation, with B ( Ω − → Ξ − π + π − ) = 4.04 − 0.71 + 0.83 × 10 − 4 and B ( Ω ¯ + → Ξ ¯ + π + π − ) = 3.15 − 0.89 + 1.12 × 10 − 4 . Contrary to theoretical expectation, we see little evidence for the decays Ω − → Ξ 1530 ∗ 0 π − and Ω ¯ + → Ξ ¯ 1530 ∗ 0 π + and place a 90% C.L. upper limit on the combined branching ratio B ( Ω − ( Ω ¯ + ) → Ξ 1530 ∗ 0 ( Ξ ¯ 1530 ∗ 0 ) π ∓ ) 7.0 × 10 − 5 .

Abstract: The α decay parameter in the process Ω − → Λ K − has been measured from a sample of 4.50 million unpolarized Ω − decays recorded by the HyperCP (E871) experiment at Fermilab and found to be [ 1.78 ± 0.19 ( stat ) ± 0.16 ( syst ) ] × 10 −2 . This is the first unambiguous evidence for a nonzero α decay parameter, and hence parity violation, in the Ω − → Λ K − decay.

Abstract: The HyperCP experiment (Fermilab E871) was designed to search for rare phenomena in the decays of charged strange particles, in particular CP violation in $\Xi$ and $\Lambda$ hyperon decays with a sensitivity of $10^{-4}$. Intense charged secondary beams were produced by 800 GeV/c protons and momentum-selected by a magnetic channel. Decay products were detected in a large-acceptance, high-rate magnetic spectrometer using multiwire proportional chambers, trigger hodoscopes, a hadronic calorimeter, and a muon-detection system. Nearly identical acceptances and efficiencies for hyperons and antihyperons decaying within an evacuated volume were achieved by reversing the polarities of the channel and spectrometer magnets. A high-rate data-acquisition system enabled 231 billion events to be recorded in twelve months of data-taking., Comment: 107 pages, 45 Postscript figures, 14 tables, Elsevier LaTeX, submitted to Nucl.

Abstract: Direct CP violation in nonleptonic hyperon decays can be established by comparing the decays of hyperons and anti-hyperons. For Ξ decay to Λπ followed by Λ to pπ, the proton distribution in the rest frame of Lambda is governed by the product of the decay parameters αΞαΛ. The asymmetry ΛΞΛ, proportional to the difference of αΞαΛ of the hyperon and anti-hyperon decays, vanishes if CP is conserved. We report on an analysis of a fraction of 1997 and 1999 data collected by the HyperCP (E871) collaboration during the fixed-target runs at Fermilab. The preliminary measurement of the assymmetry is AΞΛ = [−7±12(stat)±6.2(sys)] × 10−4, an order of magnitude better than the present limit.

Abstract: The Fermilab HyperCP experiment has accumulated the world's largest sample of Ξ− and Ξ + hyperon decays within two running periods in 1997 and 1999. The primary goal of the experiment is to search for direct CP violation in the decay sequences Ξ− → Λ π− → p π− π− and Ξ + → Λ π+ → p π+ π+. A violation of CP would manifest itself as a difference between the angular distribution of the proton and the antiproton in the Λ and Λ helicity frame. The amount of data is enough to reach a statistical sensitivity of 1.4 × 10−4 in the CP violating asymmetry A ΞΛ = (αΞ αΛ − α Ξ α Λ )/(αΞ αΛ + α Ξ α Λ ). We present an analysis method used to take into account the slight differences in the production of the Ξ− and Ξ + samples. A preliminary results on A ΞΛ at the level of a few 10−3 and based on a few percent of the 1997 data will be presented.

Abstract: A sensitive search for direct CP violation in Ξ− (Ξ+) and Λ (Λ) decays is underway at FNAL. Experiment E871 (HyperCP) intends to perform a precision measurement of the angular distribution of protons (anti-protons) with respect to the helicity axis in the rest frame of the Λ (Λ). The slopes of these distributions give the decay parameters αΞαΛ and αΞαΛ. An asymmetry parameter A in terms of these decay parameters has been defined for which a non-zero value would be unambiguous evidence for direct CP violation. Theoretical predictions for A range from no asymmetry up to ∼ 10−3. HyperCP expects to measure A with an uncertainty of ∼ 2 × 10−4.

This measurement is compared to next-to-leading-order QCD predictions. The integrated {ital b}-quark production cross section, obtained by extrapolation over all {ital x}{sub {ital F}} and {ital p}{sub {ital T}}, is {sigma}({ital pN}{r_arrow}{ital bb}{ovr bar}+{ital X})=5.7{plus_minus}1.5{plus_minus}1.3 nb/nucleon.

Abstract: The differential cross sections do/dxF for J/G produced inclusively in 800 GeV/c p-Cn and pBe collisions have been measured in the kinematic range 0.30 5 IF < 0.95 through the decay mode J/G + p+p-. They are compared with the predictions of the semilocal duality model for several sets of parton density functions. No evidence for a suggested intrinsic charm contribution to the cross section is observed. The ratio of the differential cross sections for Cu and Be targets confirms the suppression of J/$ production in heavy nuclei at large ZF.

Abstract: The analogous process to quark pair production in e{sup +} e{sup {minus}} annihilation is the hard-scattering quark exchange process in {gamma}{gamma} interactions. This hard-scattering process is expected to dominate the cross section at high transverse momenta of the produced quarks. Experimentally, one has looked for this process in two-jet as well as inclusive particle production and has found a relatively low PT onset of hard scattering in {gamma}{gamma} interactions. This report examines the issue in more detail (high statistics) for charged particle inclusive production and checks if the heavier flavors display a similar behavior in inclusive K{sup 0} production.

Abstract: Using an impact-parameter tag to select an enriched sample of Z0bb» events, we have measured the difference between the average charged multiplicity of bb» and all hadronic Z0 decays to be 2.11.8(stat) 0.6(syst) tracks per event. The resulting total (nonleading) charged multiplicity for Z0 bb» events is 23.1(12.0)1.8 0.6 tracks. A comparison of this nonleading multiplicity to hadronic multiplicity data in the range of 10 to 60 GeV supports the hypothesis of flavor-independent hadronic fragmentation, and yields a measurement of the average energy fraction of bottom hadrons in Z0 decays of xEb=0.620.100.04. © 1992 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: We have searched for the reaction e+e-, where f is either an electron, muon, or charged pion, at s =29 GeV using the Mark II detector at the SLAC PEP storage ring. One candidate event is found while 2.3 events are expected from known processes. We would expect to see 11 events if the cross section for e+e- at s=29 GeV were enhanced by the factor of 4.7 which the ALEPH Collaboration reports for s=91 GeV. We also look for e+e- and e+e-, and for e+e-, using a similar analysis procedure, and see the number of events predicted by the standard model. © 1992 The American Physical Society.

We tag {ital b{bar b}} events by requiring the coincidence of three or more tracks with significant impact parameters. This tag is 50% efficient and results in a sample of 85% purity. We find {ital R}{sub {ital b}{ital {bar b}}}=0.251{plus minus}0.049{plus minus}0.030, in good agreement with other measurements and the standard model prediction.

Abstract: A precise measurement of the ratio R of the total cross section e+e-hadrons to the pointlike cross section e+e-+- at a center-of-mass energy of 29.0 GeV is presented. The data were taken with the upgraded Mark II detector at the SLAC storage ring PEP. The result is R=3.920.050.09. The luminosity has been determined with three independent luminosity monitors measuring Bhabha scattering at different angular intervals. Recent calculations of higher-order QED radiative corrections are used to estimate the systematic error due to missing higher-order radiative corrections in the Monte Carlo event generators. © 1991 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: Two-photon interactions have been studied with the SLAC-LBL Mark II magnetic detector at SPEAR. The cross-section for η′ production by the reaction e+e− → e+e−η′ has been measured over the beam energy range from 2 to 4 GeV. The radiative width Tγγ(η′) has been determined to be 5.8 ± 1.1 keV (±20% systematic uncertainty). Upper limits on the radiative widths of the f(1270), A2(1310), and f′(1515) mesons have been determined. The two-prong final state events show a signal for the f(1270) decaying into η+π− . The current status of this analysis has been discussed.

All four final-state particles were detected at large angles with respect to the beam axis.

Abstract: We have searched for a heavy charged lepton with an associated neutrino of nearly the same mass in {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} annihilation data taken with the Mark II detector at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV. In order to suppress contamination from conventional two-photon reactions, this analysis uses a novel, radiative-tagging technique. Requiring the presence of an isolated, energetic photon allows a search for lepton doublets with mass splittings smaller than that previously accessible to experiment. No evidence for such a new lepton doublet has been found, enabling limits to be placed on allowed mass combinations. Mass splittings as low as 250--400 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2} are excluded for charged-lepton masses between 500 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2} and 10 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2}.

Abstract: A study of the muon decay channel of the τ lepton with the presence of a photon has been carried out to verify theoretical predictions for the production rate of e + e - → τ + τ - γ and for the branching ratio of τ - → ν τ µ - ν µ γ. Included in this study is the first direct measurement of radiative tau decay. Using e + e - annihilation data taken at 29 GeV center-of-mass energy with the Mark II detector, we find the ratio of the measured τ - → ν τ µ - ν µ γ branching fraction to the expected value from QED to be 1.03 ± 0.42. The ratio of measured-to-predicted number of events from radiative T production, e + e - → τ + τ - γ, where one of the τ's decay to μνν is found to be 0.91 ± 0.20. We have not seen an indication of anomalous behavior in radiative tau events.

Abstract: We have measured inclusive distributions for charged particles in hadronic decays of the {ital Z} boson. The variables chosen for study were charged-particle multiplicity, scaled momentum, and momenta transverse to the sphericity axes. The distributions have been corrected for detector effects and are compared with data from {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} annihilation at lower energies and with the predictions of several QCD-based models. The data are in reasonable agreement with expectations.

Abstract: Data taken by the Mark II detector at the SLAC {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} storage ring PEP was used to search for exclusive decays of {ital D}{sup {plus minus}} and {ital B}{sup {plus minus}} mesons into two charged leptons plus a charged pion or kaon. All possible charge and lepton combinations consistent with charge conservation were considered and no evidence for any signals was found. We obtain upper limits for the various branching ratios ranging from 2.5{times}10{sup {minus}3} to 9.2{times}10{sup {minus}3}, at a 90% confidence level. Some of these limits can be used to constrain leptoquark masses in various models.

Abstract: The asymmetry in the {bar p} angular distribution in the sequential decay {bar {Omega}}{sup +} {yields} {bar {Lambda}}K{sup +} {yields} {bar p}{pi}{sup +}K{sup +} has been measured to be {bar {alpha}}{sub {Omega}}{bar {alpha}}{sub {Lambda}} = [+1.16{+-}0.18(stat){+-}0.17(syst)]x10{sup -2} using 1.89x10{sup 6} unpolarized {bar {Omega}}{sup +} decays recorded by the Hyper CP (E871) experiment at Fermilab. Using the known value of {alpha}{sub {Lambda}}, and assuming that {bar {alpha}}{sub {Lambda}} = -{alpha}{sub {Lambda}}, {bar {alpha}}{sub {Omega}} = [-1.81{+-}0.28(stat){+-}0.26(syst)]x10{sup -2}. A comparison between this measurement of {bar {alpha}}{sub {Omega}}{bar {alpha}}{sub {Lambda}} and recent measurements of {alpha}{sub {Omega}}{alpha}{sub {Lambda}} made by HyperCP shows no evidence of a violation of CP symmetry.

Abstract: We report the first evidence for the decay ∑+ → pμ+ μ- from data taken by the HyperCP (E871) experiment at Fermilab. Based on three observed events, the branching ratio is B(∑+ → pμ+ μ-) = [8.6 -5.4 +6.6(stat) ± 5.5(syst)] × 10 -8. The narrow range of dimuon masses may indicate that the decay proceeds via a neutral intermediate state, ∑+ rarr; pp0, p0 → μ+ μ- with a P0 mass of 214.3 ± 0.5 MeV/c 2 and branching ratio B(∑+ rarr; pp 0, p0 → μ+ μ-) = [3.1-1.9 -2.4(stat) ± 1.5(syst)] × 10 -8. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: The novel sources of CP violation observed in charged χ and λ hyperon decays were investigated. A comparison of the p and p angular distributions in the hyperon decays was made using a subset of the data from the HyperCP experiment (E871) at Fermilab. A possible source of bias was found to be a momentum-dependent differential loss of events due to interactions of the χ- and χ+ decay products. The obtained result was observed to be stable with respect to time, χ momentum, and secondary-beam intensity, The results show that differences between the χ- and χ+ production angles could cause a bias due to production polarization differences.

Abstract: A study on the measurement of φ≡ using a sample of 144×106 ≡- →λπ- decays having an average polarization of 3.7% was presented. The polarized ≡-'s were produced by directing an 800 geV÷c proton beam onto a 2 mm ×2 mm× 60 mm cu target at angles of +3 and -3 mrad. The results were shown to be a 2.9× improvement over the best previous mesurements. It was shown that CP violation in charged ≡→λπ decays are not suppressed by a vanishing final phase shift difference.

Abstract: The HyperCP experiment (E871) at Fermilab has collected the largest sample of hyperon decays in the world. With a data set of over a million Ω− → ΛΚ− decays we have measured the product of αΩαΛ from which we have extracted αΩ. This preliminary result indicates that αΩ is small, but non‐zero. Prospects for a test of CP symmetry by comparing the α parameters in Ω− and Ω+ decays will be discussed.

The CP asymmetry between the rates of the two decay modes is [Gamma(K+-->pi(+)mu(+)mu(-))-Gamma(K--->pi(-)mu(+)mu(-))]/[Gamma(K+-->pi(+)mu(+)mu(-))+Gamma(K--->pi(-)mu(+)mu(-))] = -0.02+/-0.11+/-0.04.

Abstract: The primary purpose of the HyperCP experiment at Fermilab is to test CP in hyperon decays by comparing the decay distributions for Ⅺ− (“cascade”) decays in the decay sequence: Ⅺ− → π− + Λ0, Λ0 → π− + p, with those for the antiparticle Ⅺ+. In addition, we can test CP in charged kaon decays by comparing the slopes of the Dalitz plot for Κ+ and Κ− decays. We are also looking at rare decay modes of charged kaons and hyperons, particularly those involving muons. In two runs in 1997 and 1999, we collected approx. 500 millon charged kaon decays, 2.5 billion Ⅺ− and Ⅺ+ decays, and 19 million Ω− and Ω+ decays. This is the largest sample of fully reconstructed particle decays ever collected.

Abstract: Non-conservation of CP symmetry can manifest itself in non-lepton ichyperon decays as a difference in the decay parameter between the strange-baryon decay and its charge conjugate. By comparing the decay distribution in the $\Lambda$ helicity frame for the decay sequence $\Xi- \to \Lambda \pi-$,$\Lambda \to p \pi-$with that of $\overline Xi+$ decay, E756 at Fermilab did not observe any CP-odd effect at the $10-2$ level. The status of a follow-up experiment, HyperCP (FNAL E871), to search for CP violation in charged $\Xi-\Lambda$ decay with a sensitivity of $10-4$is also presented.

Abstract: Fermilab experiment 871, HyperCP, is a search for direct CP violation in Ⅺ and Λ hyperon decays. A non-zero value in the asymmetry parameter A, defined in terms of the decay parameter products αⅪαΛ and αⅪαΛ, would be unambiguous evidence for direct CP violation. The first data-taking run finished at the end of 1997 and accumulated over one billion Ⅺ− and Ⅺ+ decays. A sensitivity in A of ≈10−4 is expected. A review of CP violation in hyperon decays is given, the HyperCP detector is described, and the status of the data analysis is discussed.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the W-to-Be per-nucleon cross-section ratio, ${\mathit{R}}_{\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{B}\mathrm{e}}$, for single hadrons and for opposite-sign hadron pairs produced in p-A collisions at \ensuremath{\surd}s=38.8 GeV. The data fill in regions of intermediate transverse momentum and dihadron mass that previously have revealed cross-section enhancements for scattering from nuclear targets. When combined with previous measurements, the new results help delineate the dependence of nuclear effects on the kinematic variables ${\mathit{p}}_{\mathit{t}}$, m, and \ensuremath{\surd}s. Both the single-hadron and hadron-pair enhancements in ${\mathit{R}}_{\mathrm{W}/\mathrm{B}\mathrm{e}}$ seen at intermediate values of ${\mathit{p}}_{\mathit{t}}$ and mass decrease with increasing \ensuremath{\surd}s, consistent with a multiple-scattering model of parton scattering. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: With a data sample containing 1.1{times}10{sup 5} {ital J}/{psi}{r_arrow}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} decays reconstructed with 16 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2} rms mass resolution, we have measured the differential cross sections versus Feynman-{ital x}, rapidity, and {ital p}{sub {ital T}} for the production of {ital J}/{psi} and {psi}{prime} in 800 GeV/{ital c} {ital p}-Au collisions. Our results are compared with leading-order QCD predictions and with previous measurements. While the shapes of the cross sections are in qualitative agreement with QCD predictions, the magnitudes disagree by factors of 7 ({ital J}/{psi}) and 25 ({psi}{prime}). Assuming an appropriate form for the differential cross sections in regions not measured we derive a total {ital J}/{psi} production cross section {sigma}({ital p}+{ital N}{r_arrow}{ital J}/{psi}+{ital X})=442{plus_minus}2{plus_minus}88 nb/nucleon and a (model-dependent) total {psi}{prime} cross secton {sigma}({ital p}+{ital N}{r_arrow}{psi}{prime}+{ital X})=75{plus_minus}5{plus_minus}22 nb/nucleon.

Abstract: We present a new high-statistics measurement of the cross section for the process {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}}{r arrow}{ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} at a center-of-mass energy of 29 GeV for invariant pion-pair masses {ital M}({pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}) between 350 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2} and 1.6 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2}. We observe the {ital f}{sub 2}(1270) and measure its radiative width to be 3.15{plus minus}0.04{plus minus}0.39 keV. We also observe an enhancement in the {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} spectrum near 1 GeV. General agreement is found with unitarized models of the {gamma}{gamma}{r arrow}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} reaction that include final-state interactions.

Abstract: A search for pair production of stable charged particles from Z decay has been performed with the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. Particle masses are determined from momentum, ionization energy loss, and time-of-flight measurements. A limit excluding pair production of stable fourth-generation charged leptons and stable mirror fermions with masses between the muon mass and 36.3 GeV/c2 is set at the 95% confidence level. Pair production of stable supersymmetric scalar leptons with masses between the muon mass and 32.6 GeV/c2 is also excluded. © 1990 The American Physical Society.

We find no evidence for these decays and we obtain limits on the {ital ZH}{sub {ital s}}{sup 0}{ital H}{sub {ital p}}{sup 0} coupling as a function of the Higgs-boson masses.

Abstract: We describe a search for the decay of the {ital Z} boson into pairs of doubly charged Higgs bosons with the Mark II detector operating at the SLAC Linear Collider. Each Higgs boson is assumed to decay into a same-sign leptonic pair. No event candidates are found in a sample of 528 {ital Z} decays. At the 95% confidence level, this result excludes the region of leptonic coupling {ital g}{sub {ital l}{ital l}}{gt}3{times}10{sup {minus}7} and Higgs-boson mass 6.5{lt}{ital M}{sub {ital H}}{lt}36.5 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2} for isotriplet (left-handed) Higgs bosons. Isosinglet (right-handed) Higgs bosons are excluded in the same {ital g}{sub {ital l}{ital l}} interval and in the mass interval 7.3{lt}{ital M}{sub {ital H}}{lt}34.3 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2}.

Abstract: Using the sample of neutral vector bosons (Z's) produced at the SLAC Linear Collider and detected with the Mark II detector, we search for the decay of the Z to a pair of particles, one of which decays to two charged particles. The observed number of Z decays with this signature excludes, at a confidence level greater than 95%, the decay of the Z to a pair of fourth-generation Dirac neutrinos with mass between 2.5 and 22 GeV, a decay length less than about 1 cm, and coupling to any of the first three generations of charged leptons. This is the first time the existence of such a lepton coupling to the ± has been excluded by a direct search. © 1990 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: We search for events in the Mark II detector at SLAC Linear Collider with the topology of a {ital Z} boson decaying into a pair of long-lived massive particles. No events that are consistent with the search hypothesis are found. Interpreting the long-lived particle as a sequential Dirac neutrino {nu}{sub 4} of the fourth generation, we exclude at the 95% confidence level a significant range of mixing-matrix elements of {nu}{sub 4} to other-generation neutrinos for a {nu}{sub 4} mass from 10 to 43 GeV/{ital c}{sup 2}.
