Abstract

In connection with the design of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the KLOE detector, we have studied the performance of several samples of commercially available plastic scintillating fibers with a particle beam at the CERN PS. Results on light yield, attenuation length and time resolution measurements concerning 2–4.5 m long samples of those fibers are presented.

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 measured the fraction of {ital b{bar b}} events in hadronic {ital Z}{sup 0} decays, {ital R}{sub {ital b}{ital {bar b}}}, using the vertex detector system of the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. 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

We have searched for supersymmetric particles in 528 Z decays with the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. We place 95%-confidence-level lower mass limits on degenerate squarks, nondegenerate up-type squarks, nondegenerate down-type squarks, charginos, pair-produced unstable neutralinos, and neutralinos from associated production. © 1990 The American Physical Society.

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.

Using isolated leptons reconstructed in the Mark II detector to tag bb events, we measure the fraction of bb events in hadronic Z0 decays to be 0.23-0.09+0.11, in good agreement with the standard-model prediction of 0.22. We find (Zbb)=0.43-0.17+0.21 GeV. © 1990 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

The KLOE detector is designed primarily for the study of direct CP violation in KO decays. The electromagnetic calorimeter, EmC, is a most demanding element of the detector. Two prototypes of the EmC (one for the barrel and one for the end-cap region) have been built at Frascati and tested at PSI (Switzerland) using beams of electrons, muons and pions of 40 to 290 MeV/e momentum, and at the Frascati LADON facility using photons of 20 to 80 MeV. We observe excellent linearity from 20 to 290 MeV. The energy resolution is sigma(E)/E similar to 4.4%/root E(GeV) and the time resolution is similar to 34 ps/root E(GeV). We found little dependence on incidence angle and entry position. We also determined that some pi/mu identification is possible.

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.

Abstract

Using the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider, we search for decays of the {ital Z} boson to a pair of nonminimal Higgs bosons ({ital Z}{r arrow}{ital H}{sub {ital s}}{sup 0}{ital H}{sub {ital p}}{sup 0}), where one of them is relatively light ({approx lt}10 GeV). 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}.

Abstract

We present measurements by the Mark II experiment of the ratios of the leptonic partial widths of the Z boson to the hadronic partial width. The results are Γ_(ee)/Γ_(had)=0.037_(-0.012^()+0.016),Γ_(µµ)/Γ_(had)=0.053-_(0.015)^(+0.020), and Γ_(ττ)/Γ_(had)=0.066_(-0.017)^(+0.021), in good agreement with the standard-model prediction of 0.048. From the average leptonic width result, Γ_(ll)/Γ_(had)=0.053_(-0.009)^(+0.010), we derive Γ_(had)=1.56_(-0.24)^(+0.28) GeV. We find for the vector coupling constants of the tau and muon v_τ^2=0.31±0.31_(-0.30)^(+0.43) and v_μ^2=0.05±0.30_(-0.23)^(+0.34).

Abstract

We have measured the mass of the Z boson to be 91.14±0.12 GeV/c^2, and its width to be 2.42-0.35+0.45 GeV. If we constrain the visible width to its standard-model value, we find the partial width to invisible decay modes to be 0.46±0.10 GeV, corresponding to 2.8±0.6 neutrino species, with a 95%-confidence-level upper limit of 3.9.

Abstract

We have observed hadronic final states produced in the decays of Z bosons. In order to study the parton structure of these events, we compare the distributions in sphericity, thurst, aplanarity, and number of jets to the predictions of several QCD-based models and to data from lower energies. The data and models agree within the present statistical precision.

Abstract

We have searched for events with new-particle topologies in 390 hadronic Z decays with the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. We place 95%-confidence-level lower limits of 40.7 GeV/c^2 for the top-quark mass, 42.0 GeV/c^2 for the mass of a fourth-generation charge - 1/3 quark, and 41.3 GeV/c^2 for the mass of an unstable Dirac neutral lepton.
