A Measurement of the Gluon Splitting Rate into cc̄ Pairs in Hadronic Z Decays
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The rate of gluon splitting into c¯ c pairs in hadronic Z decays is measured using the data sample collected by ALEPH from 1991 to 1995. The selection is based on the identification of leptons (electrons and muons) originating from semileptonic charm decays, and on the topological properties of signal events. The result derived from the selected sample is g c¯ c = (3.26 ± 0.23(stat) ± 0.42(syst))%.

A Preliminary Measurement of the Gluon Splitting Rate into B B Pairs in Hadronic Z 0 Decays
We present a measurement of the rate of gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g ! b b, in hadronic Z decays collected by SLD from 1996 to 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary avor. A topological vertex mass technique was used to tag the two jets with the smallest angle between them as b= b. We obtained a rate of g ! b b per had...

We have measured gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g → bb̄, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary flavor. 4-jet events were identified, and in each event a topological vertex-mass technique was applied to the two jets closest in angle in order to identify them as b or b ...

We present selected results on strong interaction physics from the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider. We report on several new studies of 3and 4-jet hadronic Z decays, in which jets are identi ed as quark, antiquark or gluon. The 3-jet Z!b bg rate is sensitive to the b-quark mass; prospects for measuring mb are discussed. The gluon energy spectrum is measured over the full kinematic ra...
