Direct Measurement of A b using Charged Kaons at the SLD Detector
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We report a new measurement of A b using data obtained by SLD in 1997-98. This measurement uses a vertex tag technique, where the selection of a b hemisphere is based on the reconstructed mass of the bottom hadron decay vertex. The method uses the 3D vertexing capabilities of SLD's CCD vertex detector and the small and stable SLC beams to obtain a high b-event tagging efficiency and purity of 78% and 97%, respectively. Charged kaons identified by the CRID detector provide an efficient quark-antiquark tag, with the analyzing power calibrated from the data. We obtain a preliminary result of A b = 0.997 ± 0.044 ± 0.067

Decay Studies at SLD ∗
We present three preliminary results from SLD on B decays: an inclusive search for the process b → s gluon, a measurement of the branching ratio for the process B → D ¯ DX, and measurements of the charged and neutral B lifetimes. All three measurements make use of the excellent vertexing efficiency and resolution of the CCD Vertex Detector and the first two make use of the excellent particle id...

We have updated our results on identified charged hadron production using the full SLD data sample of 550,000 hadronic Z 0 decays taken between 1993 and 1998. The SLD Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector allows the identification of clean samples of charged pions, kaons and protons over a wide momentum range, providing precise tests of perturbative QCD calculations and of fragmentation models. We ha...

We report a new measurement of A c using data obtained by SLD in 1993-98. This measurement uses a vertex tag technique, where the selection of a c hemisphere is based on the reconstructed mass of the charm hadron decay vertex. The method uses the 3D vertexing capabilities of SLD's CCD vertex detector and the small and stable SLC beams to obtain a high c-event tagging efficiency and purity of 28...

متن کاملDirect Measurement of A b in Z 0 Decays using Charged Kaon
We present a direct measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A b in the Z 0 to bb coupling using a new technique to distinguish the b and b quarks using charged kaons from B decays. The Z 0 bosons are produced in e + e collisions at the SLC with longitudinally polarized electrons. bb events are selected using a secondary ver-tex mass tag and A b is determined from the left-right forward-ba...
