Electroweak and Heavy Flavor Physics at SLD
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent electroweak and B physics results obtained in polarized ee interactions at the SLC by the SLD experiment. Unique and precise measurements of the electroweak parameters Ae, Ab, Ac, Rb and Rc provide powerful constraints on the Standard Model. The excellent 3-D vertexing capabilities of SLD are further exploited to extract precise B and B d lifetimes, as well as measurements of the time evolution of B −B0 mixing. Presented at the Workshop on Physics at the First Muon Collider and at the Front End of a Muon Collider, 6-9 November 1997, Fermilab, Batavia, IL. 1) Work supported in part by DOE Contract DE-AC03-76SF00515(SLAC).

Bounds on Flavor Gauge Bosons from precision Electroweak Data
Gauged flavor symmetries at low energies have been proposed in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and fermion mass generation. The massive flavor gauge bosons give rise to corrections to precisely measured electroweak quantities. We perform a fit to the collider electroweak data and place indirect limits on such new physics. In particular we study several models from the literatu...
متن کاملProduction of Charm and Beauty ine + e, with Polarized Electron Beam 1
The test of the Standard Model through the measurements of Z to fermion couplings can bene t from much enhanced sensitivity by using longitudinally polarized electron beams. This report reviews preliminary electroweak measurements from SLD on heavy quark production at the Z, using 150,000 hadronic Z decays accumulated during the 93-95 runs with high electron beam polarization. The parity violat...

متن کاملFit to Electroweak Precision Data
A brief review of electroweak precision data from LEP, SLC, the Tevatron, and low energies is presented. The global fit to all data including the most recent results on the masses of the top quark and the W boson reinforces the preference for a relatively light Higgs boson. I will also give an outlook on future developments at the Tevatron Run II, CEBAF, the LHC, and the ILC. The Higgs boson re...
متن کاملThe Significance of the Heavy Top Quark
Experiment shows that the top quark is far heavier than the other elementary fermions. This finding has stimulated research on theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking that include physics beyond the standard model. Efforts to accommodate a heavy top quark within existing frameworks have revealed constraints on model-building. Other investigations have started from the premise that ...
