Abstract:

Direct limits are set on WWZ and WW three-boson couplings in a search for WW and WZ production with high transverse momentum in pp» collisions at s=1.8 TeV, using the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The results are in agreement with the SU(2) × U(1) model of electroweak interactions. Assuming standard model WW couplings, the limits are interpreted as direct evidence for a nonzero WWZ coupling at subprocess energies near 500 GeV. Alternatively, assuming identical WWZ and WW couplings, bounds -0.11< <2.27 and -0.81< <0.84 are obtained at 95% C.L. for a form factor scale 1000 GeV. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report limits on anomalous ZZ and Z couplings derived from an analysis of Z+photon production based upon approximately 20 pb-1 of the pp collision data recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We observe good agreement with the standard model expectation that all Z couplings are zero. Confidence level intervals for individual couplings and contours for pairs of CP-conserving/violating ZZ and Z couplings are presented. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report on a study of W + photon production in approximately 20 pb-1 of p-p collisions at s=1.8 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Our results are in good agreement with standard model expectations and are used to obtain limits on anomalous CP-conserving WW couplings of -2.3<<2.2 for =0 and -0.7<<0.7 for =0 at 95% C.L. We obtain the same limits for CP-violating couplings. These results provide limits on the higher-order electromagnetic moments of the W boson of 0.8

Abstract:

Deep inelastic e-p scattering has been studied in both the charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) reactions at momentum transfers squared Q2 above 400 GeV2 using the ZEUS detector at the HERA ep collider. The CC and NC total cross sections, the NC to CC cross section ratio, and the differential cross sections d/dQ2 are presented. From the Q2 dependence of the CC cross section, the mass term in the CC propagator is determined to be MW=76 16 13 GeV. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

This paper presents the first direct measurement of the B meson differential cross section dσ/dpT in pp̄ collisions at s=1.8 TeV using a sample of 19.3±0.7 pb-1 accumulated by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The cross section is measured in the central rapidity region |y|<1 for pTB>6.0 GeV /c by fully reconstructing the B meson decays B+→J/ψK+ and B0→J/ψK*0892, where J/ψ→μ+μ- and K*0→K+π-. A comparison is made to the theoretical QCD prediction calculated at next-to-leading order. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
