چکیده

Inclusive measurement of J/Ψ (DELPHI), search for η b (ALEPH) and measurement of the cross-section of the double-tagged γγ events (ALEPH) are briefly overviewed. 1 Measurement of inclusive J/Ψ production in γγ events (DELPHI) The measurement of J/Ψ production in γγ interactions provides an insight into heavy quark production and also a possibility to study the gluon parton density of a resolved photon. Selection of the signal is done in two steps. First, preselection of hadronic γγ events is performed, defining the " visible " region (visible inv.mass W vis below 35 GeV/c 2 , charged multiplicity 4 ≤ N ch ≤ 30, transverse energy above 3 GeV, cuts ensuring high trigger efficiency). The preselected sample contains about 1.2% of Z 0 /γ * background. Please note that requirement of at least 4 reconstructed tracks suppress the J/Ψ + γ final state. Next, the J/Ψ signal is obtained requiring a pair of identified muons. The mass spectrum of the muon pair in the region of interest is shown in Fig.1a, with a clear J/Ψ signal (36 ± 7 events) on top of combinatorial γγ background. The fit of the mass spectrum gives M = 3.119 ± 0.008 GeV/c 2 , Γ(obs) = 0.035 ± 0.007 GeV. In order to learn more about the production mechanism (the absolute predictions of Pythia 6.156 1 fall well below (∼ 20%) the observed production rate), the relative fraction of resolved and diffractive processes was fitted to the shape of the transverse momentum squared of the reconstructed J/Ψ. For this study, the shapes of Pythia distributions, with full detector simulation and event selection, were used. Fig.1b shows the best fit dN dp 2 t = f · dN dp 2 t | Resolved +(1 − f) · dN dp 2 t | Dif f ractive , f = (74.0 ± 22.0)%, suggesting the dominant contribution of resolved processes, in agreement with the expectation (the fit is obviously driven by the tail of the transverse momen

On the LEP Measurements of the Rising Photon-Photon Total Cross Section

Using vector meson dominance we calculate the γγ total cross section from data on pp, pp̄ and γp total cross sections. Our result agrees with recent high energy measurements performed by the L3 experiment at the LEP collider, not with the conflicting preliminary data obtained by OPAL. Typeset using REVTEX Two experiments at LEP have measured the high energy γγ total cross section [1]. While thes...

Eikonalised minijet model analysis of σ inel γγ. Abstract We study the theoretical predictions for the total inelastic γγ cross-sections, with an emphasis on the eikonalised minijet model (EMM). In the context of the EMM, we discuss a new ansatz for the overlap function involving the photons. We discuss the dependence of the EMM predictions on various input parameters as well as predictions for...

Recent Low x and Diffractive Collider Data

Selected recent data from collider experiments pertaining to the understanding of QCD at low Bjorken-x are reviewed. The status of QCD and Regge factorisation in hard diffractive interactions is discussed in terms of data from HERA and the Tevatron. The possibility of anomalous behaviour in the γγ total cross section is confronted with the most recent measurements from LEP. Data from all three ...

Multi - Higgs Doublet Model : Can It Account for l + l − γγ Events ?

Motivated by recent experiments at LEP (Z → l + l − γγ, with M γγ ≃ 59GeV), we examine the possibility that such events are explained by a Bjorken process with a resonant Higgs (M h o ≃ 59GeV) decaying to γγ. Our model is an N-doublet-Higgs model without CP-violation. Under the simplifying assumption that (N − k) doublets (k ≥ 1) decouple from the fermion sector, we could explain the observed e...
