Abstract:

The first measurement of the true top quark PT distributon was carried out. An attempt was also made to compute a 95% confidence level upper limit on the fraction of top quarks that are produced with 225 > PT > 425 GeV/c. It was found that R4 > 0.16 at 95% C.L.

Abstract:

We report on a search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark (top squark) produced in tt̄ events using 110 pb-1 of pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. In the case of a light top squark, the decay of the top quark into a top squark plus the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) could have a significant branching ratio. The observed events are consistent with standard model tt̄ production and decay. Hence, we set limits on the branching ratio of the top quark decaying into a top squark plus LSP, excluding branching ratios above 45% for a LSP mass up to 40 GeV/c2.

Abstract:

Using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we have measured the Ξ c0 decay asymmetry parameter in the decay Ξ 0c→ Ξ - π +. We find α Ξc0 = 0.26±0.18(stat) -0.04+0.05(syst); using the world average value of α Ξ = -0.456±0.014 we obtain α Ξc0 = -0.56±0.39(stat) -0.09+0.10(syst). The physically allowed range of a decay asymmetry parameter is -1 < α < + 1. Our result prefers a negative value: α Ξc0 is <0.1 at the 90% C.L. The central value occupies the middle of the theoretically expected range but is not yet precise enough to choose between models.
