Measurement of charm production in two-photon processes using inclusive lepton events at TRISTAN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements of open charm production in photon-photon collisions made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN are reported. Charmed hadrons were identi ed by detecting the high momentum muons or electrons from their semileptonic decays. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 275 pb 1 at an average center of mass energy of 58 GeV. Results are presented in the form of cross sections of inclusive leptons from charm for both muons and electrons. The measured cross section is 1.8 standard deviations higher than theoretical predictions based on the direct and photongluon fusion process, where the mass of charm quark is assumed to be 1.6 GeV.

BOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN PION PRODUCTION AT TRISTAN
Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...

The inclusive cross section for the production of charmed D mesons in twophoton processes is measured with the AMY detector at the TRISTAN e + e collider. D mesons are identi ed from the distribution of charged-particle transverse momenta relative to the jet axis. A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 176 pb 1 at a center-of-mass energy of 58 GeV is used to determine a cros...

متن کاملInclusive Two–Photon Reactions at TRISTAN∗
After briefly reviewing past accomplishments of TRISTAN experiments in the field of inclusive two–photon reactions, I discuss open problems in the Monte Carlo simulation of such reactions. The main emphasis is on multiple scattering, i.e. events where at least two pairs of partons scatter within the same γγ collision to form at least four (mini)jets. The cross section for such events might just...
