MINOS the main injector neutrino oscillation search
NUCL PHYS B-PROC SUP 98 (2001) 57-64
Abstract:
MINOS is a neutrino experiment which uses a beam of neutrinos from the Fermilab main injector to determine the parameters of possible neutrino oscillations. It consists of two detectors: a near detector to measure the beam composition at the production site and a far detector 730 km away to re-measure the composition and detect any oscillation which may have occurred. MINOS is a tracking calorimeter build from solid plastic scintillators to measure all the neutrino interactions.Ratio of jet cross sections at 鈭歴 = 630 GeV and 1800 GeV
Physical Review Letters 86:12 (2001) 2523-2528
Abstract:
The inclusive jet cross section in p虅p collisions at 鈭歴 = 630 GeV was measured. Many uncertainties in the results were observed. Despite a 10% to 15% difference in the absolute magnitude, the dependence of the ratio on jet transverse momentum was very similar for data and theory.Ratio of jet cross sections at square root of s = 630 GeV and 1800 GeV.

Abstract:
The D0 Collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section in barpp collisions at square root of s = 630 GeV. The results for pseudorapidities (eta)<0.5 are combined with our previous results at square root of s = 1800 GeV to form a ratio of cross sections with smaller uncertainties than either individual measurement. Next-to-leading-order QCD predictions show excellent agreement with the measurement at 630 GeV; agreement is also satisfactory for the ratio. Specifically, despite a 10% to 15% difference in the absolute magnitude, the dependence of the ratio on jet transverse momentum is very similar for data and theory.Measurement of the 螞c + lifetime
Physical Review Letters 86:11 (2001) 2232-2236
Abstract:
The lifetime of the lowest-mass charm bryon is measured to provide a window for the nonperturbative sector of heavy quark decay. The data are obtained in a colliding beam environment in the CLEO II.V detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. In this environment, the event topologies and backgrounds are very different from those encountered in high energy fixed-target experiments.Ratios of multijet cross sections in pp虅 collisions at 鈭歴= 1.8 TeV
