MEASUREMENT OF THE FORWARD-BACKWARD ASYMMETRY OF CHARM AND BOTTOM QUARKS AT THE Z-POLE USING D-ASTERISK(+/-)-MESONS
The forward-backward asymmetries for the processes {Mathematical expression} and {Mathematical expression} at the Z resonance are measured using identified D*± mesons. In 905,000 selected hadronic events, taken in 1991 and 1992 with the DEL-PHI detector at LEP, 4757 D*+→D0π+ decays are reconstructed...

總結: | The forward-backward asymmetries for the processes {Mathematical expression} and {Mathematical expression} at the Z resonance are measured using identified D*± mesons. In 905,000 selected hadronic events, taken in 1991 and 1992 with the DEL-PHI detector at LEP, 4757 D*+→D0π+ decays are reconstructed. The c and b quark forward-backward asymmetries are determined to be: {Mathematical expression} Constraining the b asymmetry to the value measured by DELPHI using independent analyses, the charm asymmetry is determined to be: {Mathematical expression}. This result corresponds to an effective electroweak mixing angle measured using charm quark events of: {Mathematical expression} © 1995 Springer-Verlag. |
