Muon identification in the Belle experiment at KEKB

چکیده
This paper describes the muon identification method and its performance in the Belle experiment at KEKB. Muon and hadron likelihood are calculated for each track using its range and transverse scattering in the KL-and-muon detector (KLM). We apply a cut on the normalized muon likelihood Lm to identify the track as a muon. Above the detection threshold of 0:6 GeV=c; the measured muon detection efficiency and pion fake rate are approximately constant for momenta greater than 1.0 and 1:5 GeV=c; respectively. Between 1.0 and 3:0 GeV=c; the averaged muon detection efficiency is 89% and the pion fake rate per track is 1.4% over the KLM acceptance, using the standard selection criterion Lm > 0:9: r 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Tau decays at the B-factories
Today progress in tau physics proceeds mostly at the two B-factories BABAR and Belle, where unprecedented statistics of tau pair events produced in ee annihilations have been recorded. Both experiments rely on “B-factories” operating at a centre-of-mass energy at and around the Υ(4s) peak (10.58GeV). BABAR operates at the PEP-II complex at SLAC, which collides 9GeV electrons against 3.1GeV posi...

We have searched for neutrinoless τ lepton decays into lhh or lV , where l stands for an electron or muon, h for a charged light hadron, π or K, and V 0 for a neutral vector meson, ρ, K(892) and φ, using a 158 fb data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB ee collider. Since the number of events observed are consistent with the expected background, we set upper limits on the branc...
متن کاملCP Violation and the Future of Flavor Physics
With the nearing completion of the first-generation experiments at asymmetric ee colliders running at the Υ(4S) resonance (“B-Factories”) a new era of high luminosity machines is at the horizon. We report here on the plans at KEK in Japan to upgrade the KEKB machine (“SuperKEKB”) with the goal of achieving an instantaneous luminosity exceeding 8× 1035 cm−2 s−1, which is almost two orders of mag...
متن کاملSuper KEKB and Belle II: Status of the KEK Super B Factory
The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected approximately 800 million Υ(4S) events in its decade of operation. The KEKB group has proposed Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB to increase the luminosity by two orders of magnitude during a three-year shutdown, with an ultimate goal of 8×1035cm−2s−1 luminosity. To exploit the increased luminosity, an upgrade of the Belle det...

Neutrinoless tau-lepton decays into either three leptons (τ − → ℓ − 1 ℓ2ℓ3) or one lepton and one K 0 S meson(τ − → ℓ − K 0 S) where lepton ℓ means either an electron or muon, have been searched for using 48.6 fb −1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e − collider. No evidence for candidate decays are found in any channel. Therefore we set 90% confidence level upper limits...
