Type inversion in irradiated silicon: a half truth
ArXiv physics/0409049 (2004)
Abstract:
Charge collection measurements performed on heavily irradiated p-spray dofz pixel sensors with a grazing angle hadron beam provide a sensitive determination of the electric field within the detectors. The data are compared with a complete charge transport simulation of the sensor which includes signal trapping and charge induction effects. A linearly varying electric field based upon the standard picture of a constant type-inverted effective doping density is inconsistent with the data. A two-trap double junction model implemented in ISE TCAD software can be tuned to produce a doubly-peaked electric field which describes the data reasonably well at two different fluences. The modeled field differs somewhat from previous determinations based upon the transient current technique. The model can also account for the level of signal trapping observed in the data.High-Q2 neutral current cross sections in e+p deep inelastic scattering at sqrt(s)=318 GeV

Measurement of the polar-angle distribution of leptons from W boson decay as a function of the W transverse momentum in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We present a measurement of the polar-angle distribution of leptons from W boson decay, as a function of the W transverse momentum. The measurement uses an 80±4 pb-1 sample of pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV collected by the CDF detector and includes data from both the W→e+ν and W→μ+ν decay channels. We fit the W boson transverse mass distribution to a set of templates from a Monte Carlo event generator and detector simulation in several ranges of the W transverse momentum. The measurement agrees with the standard model expectation, whereby the ratio of longitudinally to transversely polarized W bosons, in the Collins-Soper W rest frame, increases with the W transverse momentum at a rate of approximately 15% per 10 GeV/c.Observation of the narrow state X(3872) → J/ψπ+π- in p̄p collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV
