Inclusive jet cross sections are measured in photoproduction at HERA using the H1 detector. The data sample of
events in the kinematic range of photon virtualities
and photon-proton centre-of-mass energies
represents an integrated luminosity of
. Jets are defined using the inclusive
algorithm. Single- and multi-differential cross sections are measured as functions of jet transverse energy ET jet and pseudorapidity
in the domain
and
. The cross sections are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations corrected for fragmentation and underlying event effects. The cross section differential in ET jet, which varies by six orders of magnitude over the measured range, is compared with similar distributions from
colliders at equal and higher energies.Received: 24 February 2003, Revised: 26 May 2003, Published online: 11 July 2003 相似文献

A search for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons was performed in the data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP II at centre-of-mass energies from 189 GeV to 209 GeV. Five different final states,

,
,
and
were considered, accounting for the major expected decays in type I and type II Two Higgs Doublet Models. No significant excess of data compared to the expected Standard Model processes was observed. The existence of a charged Higgs boson with mass lower than 76.7 GeV/c2 (type I) or 74.4 GeV/c2 (type II) is excluded at the 95% confidence level, for a wide range of the model parameters. Model independent cross-section limits have also been calculated.Received: 30 September 2003, Revised: 12 February 2004, Published online: 8 April 2004 相似文献

A study of Z-boson pair production in e + e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 190 GeV and 209 GeV is reported. Final states containing only leptons, (
and
), quark and lepton pairs, (
,
) and only hadrons (
) are considered. In all states with at least one Z boson decaying hadronically, lifetime, lepton and event-shape tags are used to separate
pairs from
final states. Limits on anomalous ZZ
and ZZZ couplings are derived from the measured cross sections and from event kinematics using an optimal observable method. Limits on low scale gravity with large extra dimensions are derived from the cross sections and their dependence on polar angle.Received: 14 July 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003 相似文献

Di-jet production is studied in collisions of quasi-real photons at e + e- centre-of-mass energies
from 189 to 209 GeV at LEP. The data were collected with the OPAL detector. Jets are reconstructed using an inclusive
-clustering algorithm for all cross-section measurements presented. A cone jet algorithm is used in addition to study the different structure of the jets resulting from either of the algorithms. The inclusive di-jet cross-section is measured as a function of the mean transverse energy
of the two leading jets, and as a function of the estimated fraction of the photon momentum carried by the parton entering the hard sub-process,
, for different regions of

Upper limits on the cross-section of the pair-production process
, assuming 100
branching fraction to hadrons, are derived from a new search for the
hadrons final state, independently of the hadronic flavour of the decay products. This study, combined with previously published searches for the neutral Higgs bosons h0 and A0, is used to constrain the Type II Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM(II)) with no CP violation in the Higgs sector and no additional non-Standard Model particles besides the five Higgs bosons. The analysis combines LEP1 and LEP2 data collected with the OPAL detector up to the highest available centre-of-mass energies. The searches are sensitive to the
and
decay modes of the Higgs bosons. A benchmark scan of the 2HDM(II) parameter space is performed. Large regions of the 2HDM(II) parameter space explored are excluded at the 95% CL in the (

Tau-pair production in the process
was studied using data collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP2 during the years 1997 - 2000. The corresponding integrated luminosity is 650 pb-1. The values of the cross-section obtained are found to be in agreement with QED predictions. Limits on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton are deduced.Received: 18 September 2003, Revised: 26 March 2004, Published online: 11 May 2004 相似文献

A new evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic moment is presented. We take into account the reanalysis of the low-energy e

e
-and
spectral functions in the
channel is found to be much improved. Nevertheless, significant discrepancies remain in the center-of-mass energy range between 0.85 and

where the errors have been separated according to their sources: experimental, missing radiative corrections in e

where the errors account for the hadronic, light-by-light (LBL) scattering and electroweak contributions. The deviations from the measurement at BNL are found to be

Data collected at LEP at centre-of-mass energies
GeV are used to study correlations of the spin of W bosons using

This study investigates the potential of an Electron-Positron Linear Collider for measuring resonance parameters of Higgs bosons beyond the mass range studied so far. The analysis is based on the reconstruction of events from the Higgs-strahlung process
. It is shown that the total width
, the mass mH and the event rate N can be measured from the mass spectrum in a model independent way. Also, the branching ratios BR HWW and BR HZZ can be measured, assuming these are the only relevant Higgs decay modes. The simulation includes realistic detector effects and all relevant Standard Model background processes. Results are given for mH = 200-320 GeV assuming

The Pauli exclusion principle (PEP) has been tested for nucleons (n,p) in

nuclei, using the results of background measurements with the prototype of the Borexino detector, the Counting Test Facility (CTF). The approach consisted of a search for

s emitted in a non-Paulian transition of 1P- shell nucleons to the filled 1S
1/2 shell in nuclei. Similarly, the Pauli-forbidden
decay processes were searched for. Due to the extremely low background and the large mass (4.2 tons) of the CTF detector, the following most stringent up-to-date experimental bounds on PEP violating transitions of nucleons have been established:

We extend a recent chiral approach to nuclear matter by including the most general (momentum-independent) NN-contact interaction. Iterating this two-parameter contact vertex with itself and with one-pion exchange the emerging energy per particle exhausts all terms possible up to and including fourth order in the small momentum expansion. Two (isospin-dependent) cut-offs
are introduced to regularize the (linear) divergences of some three-loop in-medium diagrams. The equation of state of pure neutron matter,
, can be reproduced very well up to quite high neutron densities of
by adjusting the strength of a repulsive nn-contact interaction. Binding and saturation of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter is a generic feature of our perturbative calculation. Fixing the maximum binding energy per particle to
MeV we find that any possible equilibrium density
lies below
. The additional constraint from the neutron matter equation of state leads however to a somewhat too low saturation density of
. We also investigate the effects of the NN-contact interaction on the complex single-particle potential U(p,k
f
) + i W(p,k
f
). We find that the effective nucleon mass at the Fermi surface is bounded from below by
. This property keeps the critical temperature of the liquid-gas phase transition at somewhat too high values
MeV. The downward bending of the asymmetry energy A(k
f
) above nuclear-matter saturation density is a generic feature of theapproximation to fourth order. We furthermore investigate the effects of the NN-contact interaction on the
-term in the nuclear energy density functional
. Altogether, there is within this complete fourth-order calculation no magic set of adjustable short-range parameters with which one could reproduce simultaneously and accurately all semi-empirical properties of nuclear matter. In particular, the conditions for a good neutron matter equation of state and for good single-particle properties are mutually exclusive.Received: 28 October 2003, Revised: 9 December 2003, Published online: 23 July 2004PACS:
