Neutral and charged D 17 production in 360 GeV/c \u3c0 12p interactions

The first data on the production of D 17(2010) are presented as observed in \u3c0 12 -proton interactions at 1as = 27 GeV. It is found that D 17(2010) dominates the total charm D-meson production, without a significant non-central component

Measurement of Gamma bb-/ Gamma had using Impact Parameter Measurements and Lepton Identification

The partial decay width of the Z to {Mathematical expression} quark pairs has been measured by the DELPHI detector at LEP. b-hadrons, containing b-quarks, were tagged by leptons with high transverse momentum relative to the hadron or by tracks with large impact parameters to the primary vertex. The ratio of the numbers of events with a single such tag to those with two tags was used to estimate the efficiency of the method and to reduce the systematic uncertainty. Combining all methods, the value: {Mathematical expression} was found, where the third error corresponds to a±8% uncertainty on the {Mathematical expression} production width. A maximum likelihood in to the single and di-lepton distributions gave the branching fraction of the decays of b-quarks to leptons as: {Mathematical expression} © 1995 Springer-Verlag.0SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Charged particle multiplicity in e(+)e(-) interactions at root s=130 GeV

From the data collected by DELPHI at LEP in autumn 1995, the multiplicity of charged particles at a hadronic energy of 130 GeV has been measured to be [n(ch)] = 23.84 +/- 0.51(stat) +/- 0.52(syst), When compared to lower energy data, the value measured is consistent with the evolution predicted by QCD with corrections at next-to-leading order, for a value alpha(s) (130 GeV) = 0.105 +/- 0.003(stat) +/- 0.008(syst)
