Search for CP violation in D+ -> phi pi(+) and D-s(+) -> K-S(0)pi(+) decays
2013
A search for C P violation in D+ -> phi pi(+) decays is performed using data collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. The CP-violating asymmetry is measured to be (-0.04 +/- 0.14 +/- 0.14)% for candidates with K-K+ mass within 20 MeV/c(2) of the phi meson mass. A search for a CP-violating asymmetry that varies across the phi mass region of the D+ -> K-K+pi(+) Dalitz plot is also performed, and no evidence for CP violation is found. In addition, the CP asymmetry in the D-s(+) -> K-S(0)pi(+) decay is measured to be (0.61 +/- 0.83 +/- 0.14)%.
Measurement of A(FB)(b anti-b) in hadronic Z decays using a jet charge technique
1999
The b {b} forward-backward asymmetry has been determined from the average charge flow measured in a sample of 3,500,000 hadronic Z decays collected with the DELPHI detector in 1992-1995. The measurement is performed in an enriched b {b} sample selected using an impact parameter tag and results in the following values for the b {b} forward-backward asymmetry: AFBb\overline{b} (89.55 GeV) = 0.068 ± 0.018 (stat.)± 0.0013(syst.) AFBb\overline{b} (91.26 GeV) = 0.0982±0.0047(stat.)±0.0016(syst.) AFBb\overline{b} (92.94 GeV) = 0.123 ± 0.016 (stat.)± 0.0027(syst.) The b {b} charge separation required for this analysis is directly measured in the b tagged sample, while the other charge separations a…
Measurement of the B-s(0) lifetime and study of B-s(0)-(B-s(0))over-bar oscillations using D(s)l events
2000
Lifetime and oscillations of B0s mesons have been studied in events with a large transverse momentum lepton and a Ds of opposite electric charge in the same hemisphere, selected from about 3.6 million hadronic Z0 decays accumulated by DELPHI between 1992 and 1995. The B0s lifetime and the fractional width difference between the two physical B0s states have been found to be: \tau_(B0s) = (1.42^{+0.14}_{-0.13}(stat.) +/- 0.03(syst.)) ps \Delta\Gamma(B0s)/\Gamma(B0s) 7.4 ps^{-1} at the 95% C.L. with a corresponding sensitivity equal to 8.1 ps^{-1}.
Limits on the masses of supersymmetric particles at root s=189 GeV
2000
Searches for charginos, neutralinos and sleptons at LEP2 centre-of-mass energies from 130 GeV to 189 GeV have been used to set lower limits on the mass of the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle and other supersymmetric particles within the MSSM framework. R-parity conservation has been assumed. The lightest neutralino was found to be heavier than 32.3 GeV/c^2 independent of the m_0 value. The lightest chargino, the second-to-lightest neutralino, the next-to-heaviest neutralino, the heaviest neutralino, the sneutrino and the right-handed selectron were found to be heavier than 62.4 GeV/c^2, 62.4 GeV/c^2, 99.9 GeV/c^2, 116.0 GeV/c^2, 61.0 GeV/c^2, and 87.0 GeV/c^2, respectively. These limits do…
Search for charginos in e(+)e(-) interactions at root s=189 GeV
2000
An update of the searches for charginos and gravitinos is presented, based on a data sample corresponding to the 158 pb^{-1} recorded by the DELPHI detector in 1998, at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. No evidence for a signal was found. The lower mass limits are 4-5 GeV/c^2 higher than those obtained at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The (\mu,M_2) MSSM domain excluded by combining the chargino searches with neutralino searches at the Z resonance implies a limit on the mass of the lightest neutralino which, for a heavy sneutrino, is constrained to be above 31.0 GeV/c^2 for tan(beta) \geq 1.
An upper limit for Br(Z°→ggg) from symmetric 3-jet hadronic decays.
1996
An upper limit for BR(Z0 → 3g) is obtained from a correlation method, which distinguishes statistically between quark and gluon jets by using the difference in their charged particle multiplicity distributions. From the sample of threefold symmetric three-jet events collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP during 1991¿1994, the 95% confidence level upper limit is deduced to be: BR(Z0 → 3g) ≤ 1.6 × 10−2 for the JADE and BR(Z0 → 3g) ≤ 1.5 × 10−2 for the DURHAM jet-finder.
The potential of Λ and Ξ− studies with PANDA at FAIR
2021
The antiproton experiment PANDA at FAIR is designed to bring hadron physics to a new level in terms of scope, precision and accuracy. In this work, its unique capability for studies of hyperons is outlined. We discuss ground-state hyperons as diagnostic tools to study non-perturbative aspects of the strong interaction, and fundamental symmetries. New simulation studies have been carried out for two benchmark hyperon-antihyperon production channels: p¯p→Λ¯Λ and p¯p→Ξ¯+Ξ−. The results, presented in detail in this paper, show that hyperon-antihyperon pairs from these reactions can be exclusively reconstructed with high efficiency and very low background contamination. In addition, the polarisa…
Search for neutralino pair production at root s = 189 GeV
2001
A search for pair-production of neutralinos at a LEP centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV gave no evidence for a signal. This limits the neutralino production cross-section and excludes regions in the parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM).
First experimental study of photon polarization in radiative B0s decays.
2017
The polarization of photons produced in radiative $B^{0}_{s}$ decays is studied for the first time. The data are recorded by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$TeV. A time-dependent analysis of the $B^{0}_{s} \to \phi \gamma$ decay rate is conducted to determine the parameter ${\mathcal{A}}^\Delta$, which is related to the ratio of right- over left-handed photon polarization amplitudes in $b \to s \gamma$ transitions. A value of ${\mathcal{A}}^\Delta=-0.98^{\,+0.46\,+0.23}_{\,-0.52\,-0.20}$ is measured. This result is consistent with the Standard Model prediction within two standard deviatio…
Limits on neutral Higgs boson production in the forward region in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV
2013
Limits on the cross-section times branching fraction for neutral Higgs bosons, produced in p p collisions at root s = 7 TeV, and decaying to two tau leptons with pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5, are presented. The result is based on a dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), collected with the LHCb detector. Candidates are identified by reconstructing final states with two muons, a muon and an electron, a muon and a hadron, or an electron and a hadron. A model independent upper limit at the 95% confidence level is set on a neutral Higgs boson cross-section times branching fraction. It varies from 8.6 pb for a Higgs boson mass of 90 GeV to 0.7 pb for a Higgs bos…
