Abstract

This thesis present a comparison of the strong coupling of the gluons to light (q_t = u + d + s), c, and b quarks, determined from multijet rates in flavor-tagged samples of approximately 150,000 hadronic Z⁰ decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear Collider between 1993 and 1995.

A Test of the Flavor Independence of Strong Interactions in e+e- Annihilation at the Z0 Pole

Technical Report Muller, David

This thesis presents a comparison of the strong coupling of the gluons to light (q_l = u + d + s), c, and b quarks, determined from multijet rates in flavor-tagged samples of approximately 150,000 hadronic Z⁰ decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear Collider between 1993 and 1995. Flavor separation among primary q_l [anti q_l] , c[anti c] and b [anti b] final states was made on the basis of the reconstructed mass of long-lived heavy-hadron decay vertices, yielding tags with high purity and low bias against [>=] 3-jet final states.

Improved test of the flavor independence of strong interactions

Journal Article Steiner, R; Abe, K; Yuta, H; ... - Physical Review, D

We present an improved comparison of the strong coupling of the gluon to light (q{sub l}=u+d+s), {ital c}, and {ital b} quarks, determined from multijet rates in flavor-tagged samples of hadronic Z{sup 0} decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear Collider between 1993 and 1995. Flavor separation among primary q{sub l}{bar q}{sub l}, c{bar c}, and b{bar b} final states was made on the basis of the reconstructed mass of long-lived heavy-hadron decay vertices, yielding tags with high purity and low bias against {ge} 3-jet final states. We find: {alpha}{sub s}{sup c}/{alpha}{sub s}{sup uds}=1.036{plus_minus}0.043(stat){sub {minus}0.045}{sup +0.041}(syst){submore »« less
A preliminary improved test of the flavor independence of strong interactions

Conference Abe, K; Abe, K; Akagi, T

The authors present an improved comparison of the strong couplings of gluons to light (u, d, and s), c, and b quarks, determined from multijet rates in flavor-tagged samples of hadronic Z{sup 0} decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC Linear Collider between 1993 and 1995. Flavor separation on the basis of lifetime and decay multiplicity differences among hadrons containing light, c, and b quarks was made using the SLD precision tracking system, yielding tags with high purity and low bias against {ge} 3-jet final states. They find: {alpha}{sub s}{sup uds}/{alpha}{sub s}{sup all} = 0.997 {+-} 0.011(stat)more »« less

Studies of the strong and electroweak interactions at the Z⁰ pole

Thesis/Dissertation Hildreth, Michael

This thesis presents studies of the strong and electroweak forces, two of the fundamental interactions that govern the behavior of matter at high energies. The authors have used the hadronic decays of Z⁰ bosons produced with the unique experimental apparatus of the e⁺e^- Linear Collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) for these measurements. Employing the precision tracking capabilities of the SLD, they isolated samples of Z⁰ events containing primarily the decays of the Z⁰ to a chosen quark type. With an inclusive selection technique, they have tested the flavor independence of themore »« less
