Abstract:

The production of black holes in extra-dimensional brane-world theories can lead to detectable signals via the Hawking evaporation of the black hole to brane-localized standard model modes. We calculate, as a function of partial wave number and number of toroidally compactified extra dimensions, the leading correction to the energy spectrum of such Hawking radiation (the greybody factors) for decay into spin-1/2 fermions and spin-1 gauge fields localized on the standard model brane. We derive the associated improved differential emission rates for both types of fields. We provide both simple expressions for the leading behavior of the greybody factors in the low-energy limit [Formula Presented] and numerical evaluation of our full analytic expressions for the emission rates, valid for [Formula Presented] The full analytic expressions demonstrate that both the greybody factors and emission rates are enhanced as the number of extra dimensions increases. © 2003 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report on a search for a CP-violating asymmetry in the charmless hadronic decay B→K*(892)±π∓, using 9.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity produced at √s = 10.58 GeV and collected with the CLEO detector. We find ACP(B→K* (892)±π∓,)=0.26-0.34+0.33(stat)-0.08+0.10(syst), giving an allowed interval of [-0.31,0.78] at the 90% confidence level. ©2003 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Inclusive momentum distributions of charged particles in restricted cones around jet axes were measured in dijet events with invariant dijet masses in the range 80 to 600 GeV/c2. Events were produced at the Fermilab Tevatron in pp collisions with a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV and recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The results were compared to perturbative QCD calculations carried out in the framework of the modified leading log approximation (MLLA) and assuming local parton-hadron duality. It was shown that the data follow theoretical predictions quite well over the whole range of the jet energies included in this analysis. We extracted the MLLA cutoff scale Qe f f and found a value of 230±40 MeV. The theoretical prediction of Ejetsin θc scaling, where u c is the cone opening angle, was experimentally observed for the first time. From the MLLA fits to the data, two more parameters were extracted: the ratio of parton multiplicities in gluon and quark jets, r = Npartonsg-jet /Npartonsq-jet = 1.9±0.5, and the ratio of the number of charged hadrons to the number of predicted partons in a jet, KLPHDcharged=Nhadronscharged/Npartons=0.56±0.10.
