A FABRY-PEROT CAVITY FOR COMPTON POLARIMETRY

A new kind of Compton polarimeter using a resonant Fabry—Pe« rot cavity as a power buildup for the photon beam is proposed. A prototype of such a cavity is described, along with the results obtained in terms of source to be used in a Compton scattering polarimeter. ( 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Second Generation Leptoquark Search in p\bar{p} Collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV

We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks with the D\O\ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV. This search is based on 12.7 pb$^{-1}$ of data. Second generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay into a muon and quark with branching ratio $\beta$ or to neutrino and quark with branching ratio $(1-\beta)$. We obtain cross section times branching ratio limits as a function of leptoquark mass and set a lower limit on the leptoquark mass of 111 GeV/c$^{2}$ for $\beta = 1$ and 89 GeV/c$^{2}$ for $\beta = 0.5$ at the 95%\ confidence level.Comment: 18 pages, FERMILAB-PUB-95/185-

Jet Production via Strongly-Interacting Color-Singlet Exchange in ppˉp\bar{p} Collisions

A study of the particle multiplicity between jets with large rapidity separation has been performed using the D{\O}detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ Collider operating at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV. A significant excess of low-multiplicity events is observed above the expectation for color-exchange processes. The measured fractional excess is $1.07 \pm 0.10({\rm stat})^{+ 0.25}_{- 0.13}({\rm syst})$, which is consistent with a strongly-interacting color-singlet (colorless) exchange process and cannot be explained by electroweak exchange alone. A lower limit of 0.80% (95% C.L.) is obtained on the fraction of dijet events with color-singlet exchange, independent of the rapidity gap survival probability.Comment: 15 pages (REVTeX), 3 PS figs (uuencoded/tar compressed, epsf.sty) Complete postscript available at http://d0sgi0.fnal.gov/d0pubs/journals.html Submitted to Physical Review Letter
