An Effective Cutoff for the Isolalated Lepton Background from Bottom Decay --
There is a strong correlation between the and isolation of the lepton
coming from decay. Consequently the isolated lepton background from
decay goes down rapidly with increasing lepton ; and there is a
cutoff beyond which it effectively vanishes. For the isolation cut of GeV, appropriate for LHC, the lepton cutoff is 80 GeV. This can be
exploited to effectively eliminate the background from the like sign
dilepton channel apropriate for Majorana particle searches, as well as the
unlike sign dilepton and the single lepton channels appropriate for the top
quark search. We illustrate this with a detailed analysis of the background
in these channels along with the signals at LHC energy using both parton level
MC and ISAJET programs.Comment: TIFR/TH/93-23 (LATEX, 20 pages, 7 figures available on request
Particle parameter analyzing system
An X-Y plotter circuit apparatus is described which displays an input pulse representing particle parameter information, that would ordinarily appear on the screen of an oscilloscope as a rectangular pulse, as a single dot positioned on the screen where the upper right hand corner of the input pulse would have appeared. If another event occurs, and it is desired to display this event, the apparatus is provided to replace the dot with a short horizontal line
Alpha decay half-lives of new superheavy elements
The lifetimes of decays of the recently produced isotopes of the
elements 112, 114, 116 and the element and of some decay products
have been calculated theoretically within the WKB approximation using
microscopic -nucleus interaction potentials. These nuclear potentials
have been obtained by folding the densities of the and the daughter
nuclei with the M3Y effective interaction, supplemented by a zero-range
pseudo-potential for exchange along with the density dependence. Spherical
charge distributions have been used for calculating the Coulomb interaction
potentials. These calculations provide reasonable estimates for the observed
decay lifetimes and thus provide reliable predictions for other
superheavies.Comment: 7 page
