Abstract: Background Excessive bone formation is an important hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Recently, it has been demonstrated that axial bony lesions in AS patients can be visualized using [ 18 F]fluoride PET-CT. This technique may also provide opportunities to monitor changes in bone formation in axial AS lesions during therapy. Objectives To assess (1)changes in [ 18 F]fluoride uptake in axial lesions of AS patients before and 12 weeks after treatment with TNF-inhibitors (TNFi) and (2)whether [ 18 F]fluoride uptake on PET is related to focal bone formation in spine biopsies. Methods Twelve TNFi naive AS patients (female 7/12; age 39±11years) with high disease activity (BASDAI 5.5±1.1) were included. [ 18 F]fluoride PET-CT scans were performed before initiation of TNFi therapy. In 2 patients, biopsies were obtained from PET identified spine lesions for histologic analysis. Of the remaining 10 patients, a second [ 18 F]fluoride PET-CT scan was performed after 12 weeks of TNFi treatment. PET scans were scored visually for positivity by two blinded expert readers. Subsequently, [ 18 F]fluoride uptake was quantified in PET positive (PET + ) lesions using the standardized uptake value corrected for individual integrated whole blood activity concentrations (SUV AUC ). Clinical response to TNFi was defined according to ASAS20 at 24 weeks. Results At baseline, in all patients at least one axial PET + lesion was found. In spine, 6/10 patients showed 84 lesions (range 2–30;63% thoracic spine, primarily costovertebral joints) and in the SI joints in 9/10 patients were PET + (Fig A). Histological analysis of PET + lesions in the spine confirmed local osteoid formation, which was nearly absent in PET negative lesions. Quantitative PET analysis revealed significantly lower [ 18 F]fluoride uptake in spine lesions at baseline in responders than in non-responders. This difference remained after 12 weeks of treatment (mean difference in SUV AUC : -0.5, 95% CI:[-0.7,-0.2], p=0.001). After 12 weeks of TNFi treatment, [ 18 F]fluoride uptake in clinical responders decreased significantly in the costovertebral (mean difference SUV AUC : -1.0, 95% CI: [-1.3,-0.7]) and SI joints (mean difference in SUV AUC : -1.2, 95% CI: [-2.3,-0.2]) (fig B) in contrast to non-responders (mean difference in SUV AUC : -0.4, 95% CI: [-2.3,1.6] and +0.4, 95% CI: [-0.6, 1.4], respectively). [ 18 F]fluoride uptake in other spinal lesions such as bridging syndesmophytes showed heterogeneous response without a significant decrease in [ 18 F]fluoride accumulation over time at a group level. Conclusions [ 18 F]fluoride PET-CT enables non-invasive visualization of (changes in) lesions with bone formation of the whole spine and SI joints in clinically active AS patients, which is confirmed by histological signs of osteoid formation. Part of these lesions, in particular costovertebral lesions in spine and SI joints, decreased in clinical responders to TNFi (and not in non-responders), whereas other spinal lesions remained unchanged at a group level.

Abstract: Nineteen adolescent subjects with complete spinal cord injuries resulting in paraplegia or tetraplegia participated in a functional electrical stimulation (FES) program consisting of computerized, controlled exercise and/or weight bearing. The effects of stimulated exercise and standing/walking on the lower extremity joints were prospectively studied. Plain radiographs and MRIs were obtained prior to and following completion of the exercise and standing and walking stages. In addition, the joints of five subjects were studied with synovial biopsies, arthroscopy, and the analysis of serum and synovial fluid for a 550 000 dalton cartilage matrix glycoprotein (CMGP). Pre-exercise joint abnormalities secondary to the spinal cord injury improved following the stimulation program. None of the subjects developed Charcot joint changes. Upon standing with FES, one subject with poor hip coverage prior to participation developed hip subluxation which required surgical repair. No other detrimental clinical effects occurred in the lower extremity joints of subjects participating in an FES program over a 1-year period.

Abstract: A measurement of$\Gamma _{b\bar b} /\Gamma _{had} \equiv \Gamma (Z^0 \to b\bar b)/\Gamma (Z^0 \to hadrons)$ is presented using a “mixed tag” method involving the identification of$Z^0 \to b\bar b$ events by two different techniques. The first uses the large impact parameter of tracks emerging from the decay ofb-flavoured hadrons and the second their semi-leptonic decay. The identification efficiencies are measured from the data using all possible combinations of the two tags in opposite hemispheres. The method is therefore insensitive to Monte Carlo modelling of bottom quark production and ofb-flavoured hadron production and decay properties, and depends only weakly on the simulation of the detector. The data sample collected by OPAL at LEP in 1990 and 1991 is considered. The result is: $$\frac{{\Gamma _{b\bar b} }}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.218 \pm 0.006(stat) \pm 0.007(syst) \pm 0.007(\Gamma _{c\bar c} /\Gamma _{had} ),$$ where the systematic uncertainty due to the charm quark partial width has been separated from the other systematic uncertainties. Combination with previous OPAL measurements gives: $$\frac{{\Gamma _{b\bar b} }}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.220 \pm 0.004(stat) \pm 0.006(syst) \pm 0.006(\Gamma _{c\bar c} /\Gamma _{had} ),$$

Abstract: This paper describes an analysis of sub-jet multiplicities, which are expected to be sensitive to the properties of soft gluon radiation, in hadronic decays of theZ0. Two- and three-jet event samples are selected using thek⊥ jet clustering algorithm at a jet resolution scaley1. The mean sub-jet multiplicity as a function of the sub-jet resolution,y0, is determined separately for both event samples by reapplying the same jet algorithm at resolution scalesy0

Abstract: We present measurements of the hadronic photon structure functionF2γ(x), in twoQ2 ranges with mean values of 5.9 GeV2 and 14.7 GeV2. The data were taken by the OPAL experiment at LEP, with$\sqrt s$ close to theZ0 mass and correspond to an integratede+e− luminosity of 44.8 pb−1. In the context of a QCD-based model we find the quark transverse momentum cutoff separating the vector meson dominance (VMD) and perturbative QCD regions to be 0.27±0.10 GeV. We confirm that there is a significant pointlike component of the photon when the probe photon hasQ2>4 GeV2. Our measurements extend to lower values ofx than any previous experiment, and no increase ofF2γ(x) is observed.

Abstract: The branching ratios of the τ− → h− π0vτ and τ− → h− ⩾ 2π0vτ decays (where h− is either a π− or K−) are measured using the OPAL detector at LEP. The two branching ratios are simultaneously measured using separate selection criteria and are found to be Bh− π0 = (26.25 ± 0.35 ± 0.52)%, Bh− ⩾ 2π0 = (9.89 ± 0.34 ± 0.55)%Bh− π0 + Bh− ⩾ 2π0 = (36.14 ± 0.33 ± 0.58)%, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

Abstract: The observation and measurement of the time-dependence of B0d↔B0d mixing are described. The B0d meson is reconstructed in final states that contain a D∗− and an l+, where the b flavour of the B0d at decay time is tagged by the electric charge of the lepton. A new and efficient method, using a jet charge technique, is developed for identifying the b flavour of the produced B0d. From a sample of 556 D∗±l∓ candidates reconstructed in the OPAL data collected during 1990–1993, the B0d↔B0d oscillation frequency is measured to be Δmd = 0.508 ± 0.075 (stat) ±0.025(syst) ps−1 giving an oscillation parameter of χd = 0.73 ± 0.11 (stat) ±0.08 (syst), where 0.076 of the systematic error on χd arises from the uncertainty on the B0d lifetime.

Abstract: We report a study of forward-backward multiplicity correlations and a measurement of the dependence on charged multiplicity of the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons, measured with respect to the thrust axis. The study was performed on a high statistics sample of Z(0) decays to multihadronic final states collected by the OPAL Collaboration at LEP. The positive forward-backward multiplicity correlation observed in our inclusive sample can be understood in terms of a superposition of distinct event topologies characterized by a different amount of hard gluon radiation (2-, 3- and 4-jet events) and with different mean multiplicities. The residual positive correlation that we see in a clean 2-jet sample can be interpreted in terms of fragmentation properties of different quark flavours and of the production and decay of resonances. We have compared the observed effects with the predictions of QCD-based parton shower models. The data are well described by the Jetset 7.3 Monte Carlo, while Herwig 5.5 does not satisfactorily reproduce the measured correlations. Hard gluon radiation is also shown to be responsible for the observed increase of about 40% in the mean transverse momentum of produced charged hadrons in the multiplicity range from 10 to 30. The comparison with the results obtained in an analysis of a sample enriched in Z(0) --> b $$($) over bar b events, shows that the presence of heavy flavours does not contribute significantly to the observed effect.

Abstract: The fraction of $$b\bar b$$ events in hadronicZ 0 decays has been measured from the yield of leptons in the data samples collected by OPAL in 1990 and 1991. A sample enriched in events containing $${\rm Z}^0 \to b\bar b$$ decays was obtained by requiring the presence of an electron or muon with high momentum and high momentum component transverse to the associated hadronic jet. After accounting for backgrounds and acceptances, a value of $$\frac{{\Gamma ({\rm Z}^0 \to b\bar b)}}{{\Gamma ({\rm Z}^0 \to hadrons)}} = 0.220 \pm 0.002 \pm 0.0006 \pm 0.011$$ was obtained. The first two errors reflect the data statistics and the systematic uncertainties arising from detector modelling uncertainties, respectively. The third error includes systematic effects fromb andc fragmentation and decay uncertainties.

Abstract: The fractional partial width of theZ0 tob quarks,$\Gamma _{b\bar b} /\Gamma _{had} $, has been measured by OPAL using an impact parameter technique. The method has been developed using 130 000 hadronic events collected by OPAL in 1990. We find: $$\frac{{\Gamma _{b\bar b} }}{{\Gamma _{had} }} = 0.222 \pm 0.007(stat) \pm 0.008(sys).$$ The measurement assumes the relative rates of theZ0 touds andc quarks given by the Standard Model. Varying the charm fraction from the Standard Model value of$\Gamma _{c\bar c} /\Gamma _{had} = 0.171$ changes the result by an additional$\Delta \Gamma _{b\bar b} /\Gamma _{b\bar b} = - 0.135 \times \Delta \Gamma _{c\bar c} /\Gamma _{c\bar c} $.

Abstract: A measurement is presented of the forwardbackward asymmetry of the processes$e^ + e^ + \to c\bar c$ and$e^ + e^ + \to b\bar b$ at centre of mass energies near 91 GeV. Decays of theZ0 into charm and bottom quarks are identified using 6507 chargedD* mesons, reconstructed in the decaysD*±→D0π±→(K∓π±)π±,D*±→D0π±→(K∓π±π0)π± andD*±→D0π±→(K∓π±π∓π±)π±. Thec quark asymmetry on theZ0 peak is measured to be $$A_{FB}^c = 0.052 \pm 0.028(stat.) \pm 0.012(sys.).$$ The energy dependence of the asymmetry has been investigated at energies close to theZ0 peak. Consistency with the predictions of the Standard Model is found.

Abstract: The cross section and jet rates ofZ0 decays into photons and quarks are compared with matrix element Monte Carlos ofO(ααs). Good agreement is found between data and theoretical predictions. From the ratio of events with three jets plus a photon to those with two jets plus a photon, αs in first order is determined to be 0.176±0.010. Combining the cross section of final state photon events with the LEP average hadronic partial decay width of theZ0, the widths of theZ0 into up and down type quarks can be calculated. The results $$\begin{gathered} \Gamma _{u - type} = 242 \pm 46MeV; \hfill \\ \Gamma _{d - type} = 419 \pm 30MeV \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ are in good agreement with the standard model expectation. A comparison of the measured cross section as a function ofycut with predictions of QCD shower models shows that, at the current level of accuracy ARIADNE and, to a lesser extent, HERWIG and JETSET can reproduce the measurement.

Abstract: We report on a measurement of the ratio of the strong coupling constants$\alpha _s (M_{Z^0 } )$ for various data samples with different quark flavour compositions obtained frome+e− annihilation at LEP. We select events with muons, electrons, andD*± mesons from charm and bottom decays, events with highly energeticKs0 mesons originating predominantly from strange quarks, and events with highly energetic stable charged particles from a combination of up, down and strange quarks. From the jet production rates in these events we obtain from these samples the relative value of αs for the individual quark flavours as $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{\alpha _s^b }}{{\alpha _s^{udsc} }} = 1.017 \pm 0.036,\frac{{\alpha _s^c }}{{\alpha _s^{udsb} }} = 0.918 \pm 0.115, \hfill \\ \frac{{\alpha _s^s }}{{\alpha _s^{udcb} }} = 1.158 \pm 0.164,\frac{{\alpha _s^{uds} }}{{\alpha _s^{cb} }} = 1.038 \pm 0.221, \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ with quadratically combined statistical and systematic errors. We also compare the αs values for quarks of diffrent weak isospin, charge and generation. No evidence for a dependence of αs on any of these quark properties is observed. Finally, combining all samples and determining the αsf/αsincl ratio for each flavour, we do not find any dependence of the strong coupling constant on flavour.

Abstract: A search for unstable, massive photinos pair produced in e + e − collisions has been performed using the OPAL detector at LEP. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 21 pb −1 collected at center-of-mass energies near the Z 0 resonance. The unstable photino is assumed to decay into τ ± / gn l ( l = e or μ ) final states, thereby violating individual lepton numbers and R parity. This search is inspired by a particular model of supersymmetry which is of interest within the context of solar neutrino experiments because it allows for a large neutrino magnetic moment. The present search excludes a large portion of the parameter space allowed by the model.

Abstract: From a data sample of approximately 240 000 hadronic Z 0 decays recorded during 1991 a sample of about 130 semileptonic B hadron decays containing a D 0 , D + or D ∗+ has been isolated. Using silicon microvertex detector information the decay vertices in these events have been reconstructed. The average B hadron lifetime of the mix of B hadrons in this event sample is measured to be 1.51 −0.14 +0.16 ±0.11 ps. From the distribution of decay times in the different samples the lifetimes of the B 0 and B + mesons are determined to be 1.51 −0.23−0.14 +0.24+0.12 ps and 1.51 −0.28−0.14 +0.30+0.12 ps, respectively. The measured ratio of the B + to B 0 lifetimes of 1.00 −0.25 +0.33 ±0.08 supports expectations that the lifetimes are similar.

Abstract: A sample of 2610 electron candidates and 2762 muon candidates identified in hadronicZ0 decays has been used to measure the averageb hadron lifetime. These data were recorded with the OPAL detector during 1990 and 1991. Maximum likelihood fits to the distributions of the lepton impact parameters yield an averageb hadron lifetime of $$\tau _b = 1523 \pm 34 \pm 38fs$$ , where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. This result is a weighted average over the semileptonic branching fractions and production rates of theb hadrons produced inZ0 decays.

Abstract: New measurements of the hadronic and leptonic cross sections and of the leptonic forward-backward asymmetries ine+e− collisions are presented. The analysis includes data recorded up to the end of 1991 by the OPAL experiment at LEP, with centre-of-mass energies within ±3 GeV of the Z0 mass. The results are based on a recorded total of 454 000 hadronic and 58 000 leptonic events. A model independent analysis of Z0 parameters based on an extension of the improved Born approximation is presented leading to test of lepton universality and an interpretation of the results within the Standard Model framework. The determination of the mass and width of the Z0 benefit from an improved understanding of the LEP energy calibration.

Abstract: From a sample of 146900 hadronicZ 0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP, we have studied the azimuthal correlations of particles in hadronic events. It is expected that these correlations are sensitive to interference effects in QCD. We have compared the data to QCD Monte Carlo models which include and which do not include interference effects. We find that the distributions of azimuthal correlations are not reproduced by the parton shower models we have tested unless interference effects are included, no matter which hadronisation scheme is used.

Abstract: From a sample of about 450 000 hadronicZ0 decays, measurements of the average$B^0 - \bar B^0 $ mixing parameter, χ, the branching fraction ofZ0 bosons into hadrons containing bottom quarks,${{\Gamma (Z^0 \to b\bar b)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma (Z^0 \to b\bar b)} {\Gamma (Z^0 \to hadrons)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\Gamma (Z^0 \to hadrons)}}$, the average semileptonic branching ratios for such hadrons,B(b→l) andB(b→c→l), and the mean scaled energy of these hadrons, 〈xE〉, are presented. The measurements were obtained using a simultaneous fit to single-lepton and dilepton events collected with the OPAL detector at LEP, including both electrons and muons. The results are where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively, in each case. The result forB)b→c→l) excludes decays of the typeb→→l.

Abstract: The production dynamics of baryon-antibaryon pairs are investigated using hadronic Z0 decays, recorded with the OPAL detector, which contain at least two identified Λ baryons. The rapidly difference for Λ Λ pairs shows the correlations expected from models with a chain-like production of baryon-antibaryon pairs. If the baryon number of a Λ is compensated by a Λ , the Λ is found with a probability of 53% in an interval of ±0.6 around the Λ rapidity. This correlation strength is weaker than predicted by the Herwig Monte Carlo and the Jetset Monte Carlo with a production chain of baryon-antibaryon, and stronger than predicted by the UCLA model. The observed rapidity correlations can be described by the Jetset Monte Carlo with a dominant production chain of baryon-meson-antibaryon, the popcorn mechanism. In addition to the short range correlations, one finds an indication of a correlation of Λ Λ pairs in opposite hemispheres if both the Λ and the Λ have large rapidities. Such long range correlations are expected if the primary quark flavours are compensated in opposite hemispheres and if these quarks are found in energetic baryons. Rates for simultaneous baryon and strangeness number compensation for Λ Λ , Ξ − Ξ + and Ξ − Λ ( Λ + Λ ) are measured and compared with different Monte Carlo models.

Abstract: This is the post-print version of the Article - Copyright @ 1993 Elsevier. Measurements are presented of the inclusive cross section for K∗(892)± production in hadronic decays of the Z0 using a sample of about half a million events recorded with the OPAL experiment at LEP. Charged K∗ mesons are reconstructed in the decay channel K0Sπ±. A mean rate of 0.72±0.02±0.08 K∗ mesons per hadronic event is found. Comparison of the results with predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG models shows that JETSET overestimates the K∗± production cross section while HERWIG is consistent with the data.

Abstract: A sample of three-jet events containing a lepton with high momentum and transverse momentum is selected from hadronic decays of the Z0. The presence of the lepton indicates the semi-leptonic decay of a bottom quark and allows us, in combination with energy ordering of the jets, to distinguish between quark and gluon jets. The sign of the lepton charge is used to identify jets originating from positively and negatively charged quarks, for the jets with the lepton and for the high energy jets. Defining the jet charge by summing the charge of the particles assigned to a jet, it is observed that the mean jet charge of the quark jets is incompatible with zero and that the sign of the jet charge corresponds to that expected from the charge of the primary quark. In contrast, the mean charge of the gluon jets is consistent with zero.

Abstract: The forward-backward asymmetries of $$e^ + e^ - \to Z^0 \to b\bar b and e^ + e^ - \to Z^0 \to c\bar c$$ have been measured by the OPAL Collaboration using samples of hadronicZ 0 decays in which electron or muon candidates were observed. The asymmetries were measured simultaneously in a two parameter fit, which used the distributions of the track momentum and transverse momentum component with respect to the associated jet to distinguish lepton candidates from different sources. From a sample of 360 000 hadronic events with centre-of-mass energies within ±0.5 GeV of theZ 0 mass and mean energy 91.24. GeV, the values obtained for the $$b\bar b$$ asymmetry before and after correcting, for the effect of $$B^0 \overline {B^0 } $$ mixing, and for the $$c\bar c$$ asymmetry are, respectively: $$\begin{gathered} A_{FB}^{b,mix} = 0.070 \pm 0.014(stat) \pm 0.005(sys), \hfill \\ A_{FB}^b = 0.092 \pm 0.018(stat) \pm 0.007(sys) \hfill \\ \pm 0.003(mix), \hfill \\ A_{FB}^c = 0.014 \pm 0.030(stat) \pm 0.020(sys). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ The measurement of the $$b\bar b$$ asymmetry is confirmed by a measurement using only leptons with high transverse momentum. This sample is highly enriched in semileptonic decays ofb hadrons. Measurements using high transverse momentum leptons were also performed using samples of events with centre-of-mass energies further from theZ 0 mass. After correcting for the effect of $$B^0 \overline {B^0 } $$ mixing, the results are: $$\begin{gathered} A_{FB}^b (\langle \sqrt s \rangle = 89.66GeV) \hfill \\ = 0.071 \pm 0.054(stat) \pm 0.007(sys) \pm 0.002(mix), \hfill \\ A_{FB}^b (\langle \sqrt s \rangle = 92.75GeV) \hfill \\ = 0.131 \pm 0.047(stat) \pm 0.012(sys) \pm 0.004(mix). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

28. Metabolic syndrome and cerebral vasomotor reactivity

Abstract: Metabolic syndrome has been proposed as a risk factor for stroke and transient ischaemic attack. One pathophysiological mechanism could be impairment of endothelial function. Thus, we hypothesized that cerebral vasomotor reactivity would be decreased in patients with metabolic syndrome, compared to patients without metabolic syndrome.In this retrospective analysis, 83 consecutive patients (aged 59.19 ± 15.98; 33 women) underwent Doppler examination for carotid artery disease including bi-hemispherical vasomotor reactivity assessment using transcranial Doppler monitoring. Vasomotor reactivity data were analyzed from the hemisphere with no or low-grade carotid stenosis (40%). Cerebral vasomotor reactivity was calculated as percent increase in mean flow velocity per mmHg pCO(2) during 2 min of 5% CO(2) inhalation delivered by anesthesia mask (normal if ≥ 2%/mmHg). Univariate and multivariable linear regression models were used to determine factors, including metabolic syndrome, that were independently associated with pathologic vasomotor reactivity.After adjusting for the presence of contralateral carotid stenosis and ipsilateral stroke in the multivariable model, metabolic syndrome was independently associated with lower vasomotor reactivity values (2.27 ± 1.24% vs. 2.68 ± 1.37; ß = -0.258, P = 0.033). In this model, there was no association of cerebral vasomotor reactivity with age, gender, race, cardiac disease, current statin therapy, or small vessel disease.Our findings suggest that impaired cerebral vasomotor reactivity may be a mediator of stroke in patients with metabolic syndrome, a syndrome affecting a significant and growing proportion of the population. A prospective longitudinal study is warranted to study the cerebral haemodynamic effect of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: The jet chamber of the OPAL experiment at the LEP e + e − collider is designed to measure the direction and the momentum of charged particles as well as the specific energy loss in the chamber gas. The jet chamber has been operated at LEP since August 1989 and has recorded 500 000 hadronic decays of the Z 0 , resulting in a good understanding of the stability and systematics of the chamber. Resolutions obtained in the measurement of particle direction, momentum, and specific energy loss are presented, as well as the corrections and calibration procedures necessary to attain original design goals. A momentum resolution of 6.8% for particles with a momentum of 45 GeV/ c and an energy loss resolution of 3–4% over all momenta have been achieved.

Abstract: Results are reported of a study of neutral vector meson production in multihadronicZ0 decays in the OPAL experiment at LEP. Pions and kaons have been identified by specific ionisation energy loss andK±π∓ andK+K− mass spectra have been fitted, in bins of the scaled momentum variablexp, to combinations of resonance signals and non-resonant backgrounds. Rates are given forK*(892)° and o(1020), and production cross sections are compared to the predictions of Monte Carlo models. Overall multiplicities have been determined as 0.76±0.07±0.06K*(892)° and 0.086±0.015±0.010 o(1020) per hadronicZ0 decay (the quoted errors are respectively statistical and systematic). Momentum dependent distortions of the ππ mass spectra, possibly associated indirectly with Bose-Einstein effects, have prevented reliable measurement of the ρ(770)° cross section in this study.

Abstract: We present an analysis of multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced inZ 0 hadronic decays. The results are based on the analysis of 82941 events collected within 100 MeV of theZ 0 peak energy with the OPAL detector at LEP. The charged particle multiplicity distribution, corrected for initial-state radiation and for detector acceptance and resolution, was found to have a mean 〈n ch〉=21.40±0.02(stat.)±0.43(syst.) and a dispersionD=6.49±0.02(stat.)±0.20(syst.). The shape is well described by the Lognormal and Gamma distributions. A negative binomial parameterisation was found to describe the shape of the multiplicity distribution less well. A comparison with results obtained at lower energies confirms the validity of KNO(-G) scaling up to LEP energies. A separate analysis of events with low sphericity, typically associated with two-jet final states, shows the presence of features expected for models based on a stochastic production mechanism for particles. In all cases, the features observed in the data are well described by the Lund parton shower model JETSET.

Abstract: A study of deuteron electrodisintegration has been performed as the first experiment at the new Bonn 3.5 GeV electron strecher and accelerator ELSA. This process was measured at an average four-momentum transfer Q2 = 0.122 (GeV/c)2 in the invariant hadron mass range of 2.02 – 2.30 GeV. The outgoing proton was detected in coincidence with the scattered electron at three different adjustments of the spectrometer (θplab = 44°, 56°, 68°). The measured differential cross sections show the influence of the excitation of the Δ(1232) resonance in the deuteron. The experimental results are compared to theoretical calculations which include meson exchange currents, final-state interactions and isobar currents.

Abstract: The production of the octet and decuplet baryons Λ, Ξ − , Σ (1385) ± , Ξ(1530) 0 and Ω − and the corresponding antibaryons has been measured in a sample of 485 000 hadronic Z 0 decays. Results on differential and integrated cross sections are presented. The differential cross section of Λ baryons is found to be softer than the one predicted by the Jetset and Herwig Monte Carlo generators. The measured decuplet yields are found to disagree with the simple diquark picture where only one tuning parameter for spin 1 diquarks is used. Comparisons of the momentum spectra for Λ and Ξ − with the predictions of an analytical QCD formula are also presented.

Abstract: In this report we describe the construction and performance of the laser system which was used in Summer 1989 for the initial calibration of the OPAL jet chamber after installation on the LEP beam axis and which has served as a monitoring tool since then. Two Nd: YAG lasers are used to generate 48 high precision double beams which enter the chamber at fixed positions. The main features of the roughly 450 optical components are described and the beam alignment procedures are explained. Results are given for jet chamber calibration constants such as drift velocity, Lorentz angle, and residual sagittas.

Abstract: We report on a measurement of two-particle momentum correlations in hadronic decays of the Z 0 at LEP. These data are compared with recent analytic QCD calculations based on the summation of leading and next-to-leading logarithms, and with QCD Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the analytic calculations show the same general features as the data, but that the overall level of the correlations is not reproduced, suggesting that higher order or hadronization effects are significant. This contrasts with the success of similar QCD calculations in describing single-particle momentum distributions. QCD Monte Carlo models are found to give a reasonable level of correlation, with parton shower models incorporating string hadronization giving the best description of the data.

Abstract: The production rate of electrons with momentump>4 GeV/c and large momentum transverse to the jet containing the electron has been measured in 136000 hadronic decays of theZ 0 recorded with the OPAL detector at LEP in 1990. The dominant source of these electrons is the semileptonic decay of hadrons containingb quarks. If we assume that the semileptonic branching fraction ofb hadrons produced on theZ 0 resonance is the same as the branching fraction measured at the ϒ(4S) resonance, we determine $$\Gamma _{b\bar b} = 394 \pm 13 \pm 32$$ MeV, where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. The sensitivity of the result to this assumption is discussed. We have reduced the dependence of our result on the model ofb hadron semileptonic decay by taking into account the correlation between the model dependence of the branching fractions measured at the ϒ(4S) and of our kinematic acceptance for electrons.

Abstract: We observe evidence for the production of b-flavoured baryons in decays of the Z 0 boson with the OPAL detector at LEP. We find 68 Λl − , Λ l + candidates in 458 583 hadronic Z 0 decays. We interpret this as a signal of 55 ± 9 +0.3 −3.1 events from the semi-leptonic decays of b baryons. Assuming weakly decaying b baryons produced in Z 0 decays are mostly Λ b particles, we measure the product branching ratio (Γ b b /Γ had ) f ( b →Λ b ) B (Λ b →Λl − v X ) , averaged over the electron and muon channels, to be (6.2±1.0±1.5)×10 −4 .

Abstract: Using a sample of 5558 Z 0 → τ + τ − decays produced at LEP a direct test of CP -invariance in the neutral current reaction e + e − → τ + τ − is performed. Samples of events where eachy τ decays into a single particle have been isolated for the construction of CP -odd observables. Three different event classes are considered: lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron, and hadron-hadron. No evidence for a non-zero expectation value of the considered CP -observables and hence for CP -violation is observed. Quantitatively, we deduce from this null result an estimate on the weak dipole moment d τ (m 2 Z = (−4.5 ± 5.3 ± 1.4) × 10 −17 e cm for the lepton-lepton signature and d τ (m 2 Z = (1.4 ± 3.7 ± 1.3) × 10 −17 e cm for the hadron-hadron signature. Combining these results we place a limit with 95% confidence of | d τ |⩽7.0 × 10 −17 e cm.

Abstract: The value of the strong coupling constant, $$\alpha _s (M_{Z^0 } )$$ , is determined from a study of 15 different observables in hadronicZ 0 and τ decays. The study includes global event shape variables, jet production rates, energy correlations, theZ 0 line shape and decay asymmetries and the hadronic branching fraction of τ-leptons. Differences between the αs values from the different observables can be consistently attributed to unknown higher order contributions to the calculations. These uncertaities may be parametrized by variations of the renormalization scale and of the parton virtuality to which the data are corrected, separately for each observable, resulting in a consistent description of the event shapes, jet rates and energy correlations with the value $$\alpha _s (M_{Z^0 } ) = 0.122_{ - 0.005}^{ + 0.006} $$ in . The error is dominated by the theoretical uncertainties. Application of recent calculations which include the resummation of leading and next-to-leading logarithms to all orders for some observables confirm this result with a reduced sensitivity to renormalization scale variations. TheZ 0 line shapes and τ-lepton branching ratios yield $$\alpha _s (M_{Z^0 } ) = 0.148 \pm 0.021$$ and $$\alpha _s (M_{Z^0 } ) = 0.123_{ - 0.007}^{ + 0.006} $$ , respectively, in . These measurements and their uncertainties are entirely independent of each other and from event shape and jet observables; the good agreement of the resulting αs values thus constitutes an important consistency check of the reliability of perturbative QCD.

Abstract: From a sample of approximately 135 000 hadronic Z0 decays recorded with the OPAL detector, 1 536 events were selected with two lepton candidates, either electrons or muons. A signal for B0 B 0 mixing was observed using the sign of the lepton charge to tag the charge of the b quark in decaying b-flavoured hadrons. A flavour discriminating variable was constructed from the lepton momentum and its component perpendicular to the jet axis. By fitting the fraction of events in which the two lepton charges are of the same sign, as a function of this variable, the average mixing parameter was measured to be χ = 0.145+0.041-0.035 ± 0.018, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

Abstract: We report on an improved measurement of the value of the strong coupling constant σs at the Z0 peak, using the asymmetry of the energy-energy correlation function. The analysis, based on second-order perturbation theory and a data sample of about 145000 multihadronic Z0 decays, yields αs(Mz0 = 0.118±0.001(stat.)±0.003(exp.syst.)−0.004+0.0009 (theor. syst.), where the theoretical systematic error accounts for uncertainties due to hadronization, the choice of the renormalization scale and unknown higher-order terms. We adjust the parameters of a second-order matrix element Monte Carlo followed by string hadronization to best describe the energy correlation and other hadronic Z0 decay data. The αs result obtained from this second-order Monte Carlo is found to be unreliable if values of the renormalization scale smaller than about 0.15 Ecm are used in the generator.

43. Elastic electron deuteron scattering on a tensor polarized solid ND3 target

Abstract: Elastic electron deuteron scattering has been measured at the Bonn 2.5 GeV electron-synchrotron using a tensor polarised ND3 target. The scattered electrons and deuterons were detected in coincidence by two magnetic spectrometers. Data were taken at an average value of four momentum transfer of Q2 = 0.495 (GeV/c)2 in order to separate the electric monopole and quadrupole form factors of the deuteron. To have a sufficient control of systematic effects, both polarized and unpolarised cross sections were measured with an identical experimental set up. In the ratio R BXP =d σ pol /d σ unp systematic effects are expected to cancel. This ratio R BXP is related to the theoretical polarized cross section d σ T where the spin quantization axis for the deuterons is orientated in the ed-scattering plane, perpendicular to the virtual photon direction. Our final result for the corresponding recoil tensor polarization is t20=−2.01±1.13.

46. Effect of graft position on laxity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Stress radiography in 90 knees 2 to 5 years after autograft

Abstract: The effect of tibial and femoral graft placement on radiographic laxity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was studied in 90 knees. All the knees were operated according to the Marshall-MacIntosh procedure with a through-the-condyle technique. Graft position and laxity were determined on lateral x-rays (static and mechanically assisted 200 Newtons anterior drawer strain). No relation was observed between tibial tunnel position and radiographic laxity. In fact few variations in placement were recorded. Femoral tunnel placement was more dispersed, and it strongly influenced the radiographic laxity (p = 0.0001). Laxity was minimal when the center of the femoral tunnel was 6 mm below the intercondylar notch roof and 2.5 mm behind the posterior margin of the notch. No correlations were observed between tunnel positions and function evaluated with the ARPEGE score. These results stressed the importance of the femoral graft placement to control laxity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and allowed determination in vivo of a position for which minimal laxity could be expected. Since the method determining the femoral graft placement in the present study was not precise, we now use fluoroscopic control to determine drill-guide position.

Abstract: It has long been assumed that papilloma regression is mediated by immunological mechanisms which are probably cellular in nature. The potentiation of these responses may alter the course of papilloma progression. Certain strains of the bacterium Corynebacterium parvum (Propionibacterium acnes) have been shown to augment cellular immune mechanisms by increasing both macrophage and natural killer cell activity. This study involves the use of naturally occurring bovine papillomas to investigate the immune mechanisms involved in induced papilloma regression. Papillomas were treated by intralesional injection of a C. parvum suspension. Treated papillomas were biopsied at various stages of regression. Tissue samples were subjected to immunohistochemical staining to identify specific infiltrating cells. Results showed that intralesional administration of C. parvum was capable of inducing regression of bovine papillomas in 8-15 weeks. Immunological staining revealed that regression was associated with an increased number of CD8+ and gamma delta+ cells in the dermis, as well as a marked infiltration of neutrophils.

Abstract: A search for the Minimal Standard Model Higgs boson (H0) has been performed with data from e+e− collisions collected by the OPAL detector at LEP. The search was made for events of the types e+e−→(e+e−,μ+μ− or νν)H0, H0→qq and was based on approximately 78 pb−1 of data taken at center-of-mass energies between 88 and 95 GeV in the years 1990–1993. The present study, combined with previous OPAL publications, excludes the existence of a Minimal Standard Model Higgs boson with mass below 56.9 GeV at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract: The inclusive production rates of π±,K± andp$\bar p$ inZ0 decays have been measured with the OPAL detector at LEP. Using the energy loss measurement in the jet chamber, the momentum range up to the beam energy (45.6 GeV/c) has been covered. Differential cross sections and total particle yields are given. Comparisons of the inclusive momentum spectra and the total rates with predictions of the JETSET and the HERWIG Monte Carlo model are presented. The total single rates are found to be 17.05±0.43 π±, 2.42±0.13K± and 0.92±0.11p$\bar p$ per hadronic event. Predictions of JETSET for cross sections and total rates agree very well for π±; however, for momenta greater than 4 GeV/c,K± rates are underestimated and$\bar p$ rates are overestimated. Combined with data of other particle species there is evidence that the peak positions in the ξ=ln(1/x p ) distributions show a different mass dependence for mesons and baryons. However, both JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo predictions agree with the observed data.

50. [Reconstruction of the acetabulum using femoral head autograft in total hip arthroplasties]

Abstract: We have reviewed, at a mean follow-up of 63.7 months, 36 total hip replacements performed with bulk acetabular autograft. Before surgery all the hips had acetabular insufficiency. Improvement of acetabular coverage was achieved in all cases with the patient's femoral head screwed to the ilium. Only one massive graft resorption was observed, simultaneous to loosening of the socket. Partial graft resorption was observed in 6 cases, and was not correlated with loosening of the socket. In all cases we observed radiographic features consistent with graft incorporation. Periprosthetic ossifications were noted in 13 cases. At follow-up, four sockets were loose, among which were included three Weill threaded rings. The mean functional improvement scores evaluated with the Merle d'Aubigné hip rating were: 4 points for pain, 2.7 points for mobility, and 2.4 points for walking. The authors concluded that femoral head, used as a massive autograft during total hip replacement, was a safe procedure for bone stock reconstruction in case of severe acetabular insufficiency.
