Abstract

A measurement of the W mass and width has been performed by the DELPHI collaboration using the data collected during 1998. The data sample has an integrated luminosity of 155 pb^{-1} and an average centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV. Results are obtained by applying the method of direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both the W+W- -> lvqq and W+W- -> qqqq channels. The W mass result for the 1998 data set is M_W = 80.387 +/- 0.087 (stat) +/- 0.034 (syst) +/- 0.017 (LEP) +/- 0.035 (FSI) GeV/c2, where FSI represents the uncertainty due to final state interaction effects in the qqqq channel, and LEP represents that arising from the knowledge of the beam energy of the accelerator. Combining this result with those previously published by the DELPHI collaboration gives the result M_W = 80.359 +/- 0.074 (stat) +/- 0.032 (syst) +/- 0.017 (LEP) +/- 0.033 (FSI) GeV/c2. The combined value for the W width is \Gamma_W = 2.266 +/- 0.176 (stat) +/- 0.056 (syst) +/- 0.052 (FSI) GeV/c2.

Abstract

A new precise measurement of |V_{cb}| and of the branching ratio BR(\bar{B^0} -> D^{*+} \ell^- \bar{\nu_\ell}) has been performed using a sample of about 5000 semileptonic decays \bar{B^0} -> D^{*+} \ell^- \bar{\nu_\ell}, selected by the DELPHI detector at LEP I by tagging the soft pion from D^{*+} -> D^0 \pi^+. The results are: V_{cb}=(39.0 +/- 1.5 (stat.) ^{+2.5}_{-2.6} (syst. exp.) +/- 1.3 (syst. th.)) x 10^{-3} BR(\bar{B^0} -> D^{*+} \ell^- \bar{\nu_\ell})=(4.70 +/- 0.13 (stat.) ^{+0.36}_{-0.31} (syst. exp.))% The analytic dependences of the differential cross-section and of the Isgur Wise form factor as functions of the variable w = v_{B^0}.v_{D^*} have also been obtained by unfolding the experimental resolution.

Abstract

Searches for spontaneous R-parity violating signals at sqrt(s) = 183 GeV and sqrt(s) = 189 GeV have been performed using the 1997 and 1998 DELPHI data, under the assumption of R-parity breaking in the third lepton family. The expected topology for the decay of a pair of charginos into two acoplanar taus plus missing energy was investigated and no evidence for a signal was found. The results were used to derive a limit on the chargino mass and to constrain the allowed domains of the MSSM parameter space.

Abstract

Searches for pair production of gauginos and squarks in e+e- collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV have been performed on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 158 pb^{-1} collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP. The data were analyzed under the assumption of non-conservation of R-parity through a single dominant Ubar Dbar Dbar coupling between squarks and quarks. Typical final states contain between 4 and 10 jets with or without additional leptons. No excess of data above Standard Model expectations was observed. The results were used to constrain domains of the MSSM parameter space and derive limits on the masses of supersymmetric particles. The following mass limits at 95% CL were obtained from these searches: neutralino mass: m_{\tilde{\chi^0_{1}}} \geq 32 GeV chargino mass: m_{\tilde{\chi^+_{1}}} \geq 94 GeV stop and sbottom mass (indirect decay) with \Delta M > 5 GeV: m_{\tilde{t_1}} \geq 74 GeV, for \Phi_{mix}=0 rad m_{\tilde{t_1}} \geq 59 GeV, for \Phi_{mix}=0.98 rad m_{\tilde{b_1}} \geq 72 GeV, for \Phi_{mix}=0 rad. The angle \phi_{mix} is the mixing angle between left and right handed quarks.

Abstract

A test of the QED process e+e- -> gamma gamma (gamma) is reported. The data analysed were collected with the DELPHI detector in 1998 and 1999 at the highest energies achieved at LEP, reaching 202 GeV in the centre-of-mass. The total integrated luminosity amounts to 375.7 pb^{-1}. The differential and total cross-sections for the process e+e- -> gamma gamma were measured, and found to be in agreement with the QED prediction. 95% Confidence Level (C.L.) lower limits on the QED cut-off parameters of Lambda+ > 330 GeV and Lambda- > 320 GeV were derived. A 95% C.L. lower bound on the mass of an excited electron of 311 GeV/c^2 (for lambda_gamma = 1) was obtained. s-channel virtual graviton exchange was searched for, resulting in 95% C.L. lower limits on the string mass scale, M_S: M_S > 713 GeV/c^2 (lambda = 1) and M_S > 691 GeV/c^2 (lambda = -1).

Abstract

The rapidity-rank structure of p pbar pairs is used to analyze the mechanism of baryon production in hadronic Z0 decay. The relative occurrence of the rapidity-ordered configuration p M pbar, where M is a meson, and that of p pbar adjacent pairs is compared. The data are found to be consistent with predictions from a mechanism producing adjacent-rank p pbar pairs, without requiring `string-ordered' p M pbar configurations. An upper limit of 15% at 90% confidence is determined for the p M pbar contribution.

Abstract

Searches for charginos, neutralinos and sleptons at LEP2 centre-of-mass energies from 130 GeV to 189 GeV have been used to set lower limits on the mass of the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle and other supersymmetric particles within the MSSM framework. R-parity conservation has been assumed. The lightest neutralino was found to be heavier than 32.3 GeV/c^2 independent of the m_0 value. The lightest chargino, the second-to-lightest neutralino, the next-to-heaviest neutralino, the heaviest neutralino, the sneutrino and the right-handed selectron were found to be heavier than 62.4 GeV/c^2, 62.4 GeV/c^2, 99.9 GeV/c^2, 116.0 GeV/c^2, 61.0 GeV/c^2, and 87.0 GeV/c^2, respectively. These limits do not depend on m_0 or M_2 and are valid for 1 \leq tan(beta) \leq 40, in the mu region where the lightest neutralino is the LSP. If the sneutrino is heavier than the chargino the lightest neutralino has to be heavier than 32.4 GeV/c^2. The effects of mixings in the third family of sfermions on these limits are discussed. The confidence level of all limits given is 95%.

Abstract

Searches for pair production of supersymmetric particles under the assumption that R-parity is not conserved are presented, based on data recorded by the DELPHI detector in 1998 from e+e- collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. Only one R-parity violating LL\bar{E} term (i.e. one lambda coupling), which couples scalar leptons to leptons, is considered to be dominant at a time. Moreover, it is assumed that the strength of the R-parity violating couplings is such that the lifetimes can be neglected. The search for pair production of neutralinos, charginos and sleptons has been performed for both direct R-parity violating decays and indirect cascade decays. The results are in agreement with Standard Model expectations, and are used to update the constraints on the MSSM parameter values and the mass limits previously derived at sqrt(s) = 183 GeV. The present 95% C.L. limits on supersymmetric particle masses are: m_{\tilde{\chi}^0} > 30 GeV/c^2 and m_{\tilde{\chi}^\pm} > 94 GeV/c^2; m_{\tilde{\nu}} > 76.5 GeV/c^2 (direct and indirect decays); m_{\tilde{\ell}_R} > 83 GeV/c^2 (indirect decay only).

Abstract

The ratio of the CKM quark-mixing matrix elements |Vub|/|Vcb| has been measured using B hadron semileptonic decays. The analysis uses the reconstructed mass M_X of the secondary hadronic system produced in association with an identified lepton. Since B -> X_u lepton anti-nu transitions are characterised by hadronic masses below those of the D mesons produced in B -> X_c lepton anti-nu transitions, events with a reconstructed value of M_X significantly below the D mass are selected. Further signal enrichments are obtained using the topology of reconstructed decays and hadron identification. A fit to the numbers of decays in the b -> u enriched and depleted samples with M_X above and below 1.6 GeV/c^2 and to the shapes of the lepton energy distribution in the B rest frame gives |Vub|/|Vcb|= 0.103^{+0.011}_{-0.012} (stat.) +/- 0.016 (syst.) +/- 0.010 (model) and, correspondingly, a charmless semileptonic B decay branching fraction of BR(B -> X_u lepton anti-nu) = (1.57 +/- 0.35 (stat.) +/- 0.48 (syst.) +/- 0.27 (model)) x 10^{-3}., 24 pages, 8 figures

Abstract

A search for stable and long-lived heavy charged particles was performed using the data taken by the DELPHI experiment at an energy of 189 GeV. The Cherenkov light detected in the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector and the ionisation loss measured in the Time Projection Chamber were used to identify heavy particles passing through the detector. No evidence for the production of such particles has been found, therefore exclusion limits at 95% confidence level were derived on the masses of left and right handed smuons and staus. The results were combined with previous DELPHI searches in this channel. Including previous DELPHI results, masses of left (right) handed stable smuons and staus can be excluded between 2 GeV/c^2 and 88 (87.5) GeV/c^2 at 95% CL.

Abstract

An update of the searches for charginos and gravitinos is presented, based on a data sample corresponding to the 158 pb^{-1} recorded by the DELPHI detector in 1998, at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. No evidence for a signal was found. The lower mass limits are 4-5 GeV/c^2 higher than those obtained at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The (\mu,M_2) MSSM domain excluded by combining the chargino searches with neutralino searches at the Z resonance implies a limit on the mass of the lightest neutralino which, for a heavy sneutrino, is constrained to be above 31.0 GeV/c^2 for tan(beta) \geq 1.

Abstract

A study of b semileptonic decays into D, D pi+- and D* pi+- final states is presented. The D0, D+ and D*+ mesons are exclusively reconstructed in Z decay data recorded from 1992 to 1995 in the DELPHI experiment at LEP. The overall branching fractions are measured to be: BR(b -> D^0 \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell} X) = (7.04 +/- 0.34 (stat) +/- 0.36 (syst.exp) +/- 0.17 (BR_D))% BR(b -> D^+ \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell} X) = (2.72 +/- 0.19 (stat) +/- 0.16 (syst.exp) +/- 0.18 (BR_D))% BR(b -> D^{*+} \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell} X) = (2.75 +/- 0.17 (stat) +/- 0.13 (syst.exp) +/- 0.09 (BR_D))% where the D0 and D+ results include also contributions from D*0 and D*+ decays. A fit to the distribution of the pi+- impact parameter to the primary interaction vertex provides a measurement of the b semileptonic branching fractions into the D0 pi+- X, D+ pi+- X and D*+ pi+- X final states. Assuming that single pion decay modes of B mesons dominate, the partial rates for \bar{B} -> D \pi \ell^- \bar{\nu_{\ell}} and \bar{B} -> D^{*} \pi \ell^- \bar{\nu_{\ell}} have been obtained, corresponding to a total branching fraction: BR(\bar{B} -> D \pi \ell^- \bar{\nu_{\ell}}) + BR(\bar{B} -> D^{*} \pi \ell^- \bar{\nu_{\ell}}) = (3.40 +/- 0.52 (stat) +/- 0.32 (syst))% . This result agrees well with the observed difference between the total B semileptonic branching fraction and the sum of the \bar{B} -> D \ell^- \bar{\nu_{\ell}} and D^* \ell^- \bar{\nu_{\ell}} branching fractions.

Abstract

The rate $Z \rightarrow b\overline{b}b\overline{b}$ was measured using about $2 x 10^6$ hadronic decays collected by the DELPHI experiment in 1994 and 1995. Events were forced into 3-jets with $y_{min} 0.06$ and a b-tag was required for every jet. The rate was measured to be: $R_{4b} = BR(Z \to b\overline{b}b\overline{b}) / BR(Z \to hadrons) = (6.0 +- 1.9(stat) +- 1.4(syst.)) x 10^{-4}$ where the invariant mass of every $b\overline{b}$ system is above twice the b quark mass. Using the value of $R_{4b}$ the probability of secondary production of a $b\overline{b}$ pair from a gluon per hadronic $Z$ decay, $g_{bb}$, was extracted and found to be: $g_{bb} = (3.3+-1.0(stat.) +- 0.8(syst.)) x 10^{-3}$.

Abstract

A search for the supersymmetric partner of the goldstino, the sgoldstino S, at LEP2 is presented. The production Sgamma followed by S decay into two gluons or into two photons was studied at 189 - 202 GeV LEP centre-of-mass energies. No evidence for the S production was found and limits on the S mass corresponding to different theory parameters are given.

Abstract

The DELPHI detector at LEP has collected 54 pb^{-1} of data at a centre-of-mass energy around 183 GeV during 1997, 158 pb^{-1} around 189 GeV during 1998, and 187 pb^{-1} between 192 and 200 GeV during 1999. These data were used to measure the average charged particle multiplicity in e+e- -> b bbar events, _{bb}, and the difference delta_{bl} between _{bb} and the multiplicity, _{ll}, in generic light quark (u,d,s) events: delta_{bl}(183 GeV) = 4.55 +/- 1.31 (stat) +/- 0.73 (syst) delta_{bl}(189 GeV) = 4.43 +/- 0.85 (stat) +/- 0.61 (syst) delta_{bl}(200 GeV) = 3.39 +/- 0.89 (stat) +/- 1.01 (syst). This result is consistent with QCD predictions, while it is inconsistent with calculations assuming that the multiplicity accompanying the decay of a heavy quark is independent of the mass of the quark itself.

Abstract

Measurements of the trilinear gauge boson couplings WWγ and WWZ are presented from data taken by DELPHI in 1997 at an energy of 183 GeV. From a study of the reactions e + e − → W + W − , e + e − → Weν and e + e − → ννγ , values are obtained for Δg 1 Z and Δκ γ , the differences of the WWZ charge coupling and of the WWγ dipole couplings from their Standard Model values, and for λ γ , the WWγ quadrupole coupling. The observations are consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model. (Elsevier)
