A study of e+e− pairs in the mass range 11 to 25 GeV/c2 at the CERN intersecting storage rings

A sample of 58e⁺e^? events with an invariant mass greater than 11 GeV/c² produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 62.3 GeV is discussed. The cross sections are presented as a function of the mass and transverse momentum. The electron pairs produced with a mean transverse momentum of 2.50 ± 0.25 GeV/c.     

A measurement of the production of massive e+e− pairs in proton-proton collisions at √s = 62.4 GeV

An apparatus consisting of a superconducting solenoid magnet, cylindrical drift-chambers, and two arrays of lead-glass ?erenkov counters has been used at the CERN ISR to study the production of e⁺e^? pairs of invariant mass above 6.5 GeV/c². Cross sections for the continuum and the ? family of resonances are presented, as well as the mean transverse momentum 〈p_T〉 of the electron-positron pairs in the continuum and resonance region.

A measurement of the transverse momenta of partons,and of jet fragmentation as a function of √s in p-p collisions

A large solid-angle apparatus consisting of a superconducting solenoid magnet, cylindrical drift chambers and two arrays of lead-glass counters was used to examine particles associated with a high transverse momentum trigger in p-p collisions with three √s values at the CERN ISR. The trigger was given by energy deposition in lead-glass arrays centred at 90°. The trigger transverse momentum range covered was 3 < $\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>T\; trig</mtext>}}\text{< 11}\text{GeV}\text{c}$. Results are given for p_out for both individual charged particles, and also for the sum of charged particle momenta in the hemisphere opposite to the trigger. Mean values are then deduced for the parton transverse momentum k_T, and for the jet fragmentation momentum j_T.     

Compressed-air flow control system

We present the construction and operation of a compressed-air driven flow system that can be used for a variety of microfluidic applications that require rapid dynamic response and precise control of multiple inlet streams. With the use of inexpensive and readily available parts, we describe how to assemble this versatile control system and further explore its utility in continuous- and pulsed-flow microfluidic procedures for the synthesis and analysis of microparticles.
