Differential and channel cross sections and hyperon polarizations are presented for the reactions K r p •*• K c p, ir A , and it Z Li O at an average beam momentum of 550 MeV/c. These data provide constraints on KN and KN amplitudes obtained from charged kaon reactions and reject one of the S=+l, 1=0 and one of the S=-l, 1=1 phase shift solutions.
The photoproduction of beauty quarks in events with two jets and a muon has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 110 pb −1 . The fraction of jets containing b quarks was extracted from the transverse momentum distribution of the muon relative to the closest jet. Differential cross sections for beauty production as a function of the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of the muon, of the associated jet and of x jets γ , the fraction of the photon's momentum participating in the hard process, are compared with MC models and QCD predictions made at next-to-leading order. The latter give a good description of the data.
We have analyzed 370 000 pictures taken in the 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber exposed to the 5.5-GeV/c separated K~ beam 1 at the Argonne zero-gradient synchrotron (ZGS). Light particle contamination in the beam was £5% when calculated from a r scan of the film. A Cerenkov counter operated during the exposure indicated the same high purity. About 5000 two-prong events with an associated A decay have been found. After kinematic analysis, these yielded 328 fits to the final state A77 + TT"" and 89 fits to 2°77 + 7r~.When more than one hypothesis produced a fit to a given event, a x 2 probability cut was used to exclude all fits having a probability 5 times less than that for the best fit. After this selection, all events fitting the hypothesis ATT + 77~ with a \ 2 probability >1% were classified as ATT + TT~ events. Of the remaining events, all those fitting the Z°Tf + 7r~ hypothesis with a X 2 probability >1% were classified as £°7r + 77~" events. These criteria yield a rather pure sample of the four-constraint AIT + IT~ final state. 2 The two-constraint fits to S°7r + 7r"~ have some (unknown) contamination from the A7T + ir~n° events, but this uncertainty is not important for the present results. Because of the high-beam purity, contamination due to events originating from pions can be neglected. 3 The Dalitz plot and the mass-squared projection for the events classified as ATI + IT~ are shown in Fig.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
