v 1 3 S ep 2 00 0 Observation of Anomalous Dimuon Events in the NuTeV Decay Detector ( Preliminary )
نویسندگان
چکیده
A search for long-lived neutral particles (N 0) which decay into at least one muon has been performed using an instrumented decay channel at the E815 (NuTeV) experiment at Fermilab. The decay channel was composed of helium bags interspersed with drift chambers, and was used in conjunction with the NuTeV neutrino detector to search for N 0 decays. The data were examined for particles decaying into the muonic final states µµ, µe, and µπ. Three µµ events were observed over an expected background of 0.040 ± 0.009 events; no events were observed in the other modes. Although the observed events share some characteristics with neutrino interactions, the observed rate is a factor of 75 greater than expected. No Standard Model process appears to be consistent with this observation. .

متن کاملObservation of an anomalous number of dimuon events in a high energy neutrino beam.
A search for long-lived neutral particles ( N0's) with masses above 2.2 GeV/c(2) that decay into at least one muon has been performed using an instrumented decay channel at the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab. Data were examined for particles decaying into the final states mumu, mu(e), and mu(pi). Three mumu events were observed over an expected standard model background of 0.069+/-0.010 events; n...

I present two analyses done with the CLEOIII detector at CESR. The first is a search for the LFV decay Υ → µτ with preliminary results, and the second constrains Lepton Universality in Υ → τ τ relative to Υ → µµ. This second analysis, whose results are final, has dramatically improved uncertainties relative to other such measurements, and is also the first observation of the decay Υ(3S) → τ τ. ...
متن کاملMore about sgoldstino interpretation of HyperCP events
We further discuss possible sgoldstino interpretation of the observation, reported by the HyperCP collaboration, of three Σ+ → pμ+μ− decay events with dimuon invariant mass 214.3 MeV within detector resolution. With sgoldstino mass equal to 214.3 MeV, this interpretation can be verified at existing and future Band φ-factories. We find that the most natural values of the branching ratios of two-...
