Variation of the strong coupling constant from a measurement of the jet energy spread in e+e− annihilation

Abstract A measurement of jet energy spread in the reaction e+e− → hadrons is presented. Using a jet calculus model for the jet development we determine the variation of the strong coupling constant with respect to momentum transfer. The observed variation is consistent with that expected for QCD over a wide range of momentum transfers. This method alone is not sufficient to distinguish QCD from simple limited transverse momentum models.

Upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay τ-→Π-ηvτ

We have searched for the decay τ-→Π-ηvτ using the MARK II detector at the PEP e+e- storage ring. No evidence for the decay is found; the upper limit for the branching ratio is B(τ-→Π-ηvτ)<1.0% at the 95% confidence level.

Limits on J ψ and Υ{hooked} production in e+e-interactions at s = 29 GeV

A search has been made for the inclusive production of Jψ (3.1) and ϒ (9.4) mesons in e+e− interactions at 29 GeV, via their decay into two leptons. No signal is observed in the Jψ region, nor in the ϒ region. The limits on the cross sections are σ(e+e− → ψX) < 4.4 × 10−36cm2, and σ(e+e− → ϒX) < 4.7 × 10−36 cm2. The same data yield limits on the branching ratios for the b quark BR (b → ψX) < 4.9% and BR (b → l+l−X) < 0.8%.Volume 129, number 1,2 PHYSICS LETTERS 15 September 1983 LIMITS ON J / ~ A N D T PRODUCTION IN e+e - INTERACTIONS AT X/s= 29 GeV ~ C.
