چکیده

We present measurements of Z to heavy-quark coupling electroweak parameters, Rb, Rc, and parity-violation parameter Ac, from SLD. The measurements are based on approximately 550k hadronic Z events collected in 1993-98. Obtained preliminary results of Rb and Rc measurements are Rb = 0:2159 0:0014 0:0014 and Rc = 0:1685 0:0047 0:0043. In the Ac measurement, we use four methods to determine the initial-quark charge: combined Kaon charge and Vertex charge, lepton, exclusively reconstructed D*, D-mesons, and a new method using inclusive soft-pion from D*. The preliminary results of these four methods were combined to give Ac = 0:634 0:027.

Production of Charm and Beauty ine + e, with Polarized Electron Beam 1

The test of the Standard Model through the measurements of Z to fermion couplings can bene t from much enhanced sensitivity by using longitudinally polarized electron beams. This report reviews preliminary electroweak measurements from SLD on heavy quark production at the Z, using 150,000 hadronic Z decays accumulated during the 93-95 runs with high electron beam polarization. The parity violat...

A Model Independent Analysis of Lep and Sld Data on Z-decays; Is the Standard Model Confirmed?

A model independent analysis has been performed on the LEP and SLD data on Z decays. Using only very weak theoretical assumptions, the effective vector and axial-vector couplings of leptons, c quarks and b quarks have been extracted. Although the lepton and c quark couplings agree well with Standard Model predictions, those of the b quark show deviations of more than three standard deviations. ...

Heavy Quark Production in Z Decays

We present studies of 3-jet nal states from hadronic Z decays recorded by the SLD experiment. A comparison of the strong couplings of light, c, and b quarks is made using 3-jet rates. We have performed a detailed study of ee ! b bg nal states, in which the quark, antiquark, and gluon jets are identi ed. The gluon energy spectrum, measured over the full kinematic range, is consistent with the pr...

In this paper we present three updates to heavy flavour results from the SLD detector at SLAC. These results are preliminary, based on our full 1993-1998 dataset of 550 000 hadronic Z 0 decays produced with an average electron polarisation of 73%. The new measurements are of the hadronic branching fractions into heavy quarks (R b , Rc), the b quark asymmetry (A b) using jet charge, and the heav...
