Prospects for the Precision Measurement of Alpha_S

P. N. Burrows, L. Dixon, A. X. El-Khadra +5

The prospects for the measurement of the strong coupling constant alpha_msbar(M_Z) to a relative uncertainty of 1% are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the implications…

An Improved Measurement of the Left-Right Z0 Cross Section Asymmetry

SLD Collaboration, K. Abe, I. Abt et al

We present a new measurement of the left-right cross section asymmetry (ALR) for Z boson production by e+e- collisions. The measurement was performed at a center-of-mass energy of…

The polarized electron beam for the SLAC Linear Collider

M. Woods

The SLAC Linear Collider has been colliding a polarized electron beam with an unpolarized positron beam at the Z^0 resonance for the SLD experiment since 1992. An electron beam pol…

The scanning Compton polarimeter for the SLD experiment

M. Woods, representing the SLD collaboration

For the 1994/95 run of the SLD experiment at SLAC, a Compton polarimeter measured the luminosity-weighted electron beam polarization to be (77.2 +- 0.5)%. This excellent accuracy i…

First Measurement of the Left-Right Charge Asymmetry in Hadronic Z Boson Decays and a New Determination of sin^2(theta_eff)

SLD Collaboration, K. Abe, I. Abt

We present the first measurement of the left-right charge asymmetry A_Q^{obs} in hadronic Z boson decays. This was performed at E_cm = 91.27 GeV with the SLD at the SLAC Linear Col…

A study of the orientation and energy partition of three-jet events in hadronic Z0 decays

K. Abe

We have measured the distributions of the jet energies in e+e- --> qq^bar g events, and of the three orientation angles of the event plane, using hadronic decays collected in…

Preliminary Results from a Search for Disoriented Chiral Condensates at MiniMax

T. C. Brooks, M. E. Convery, W. L. Davis +20

We report on the progress of a search for disoriented chiral condensates (DCCs) in the far forward region at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV. MiniMax is a small collider experiment situated at the…

First Study of Rapidity Gaps in e+e- Annihilation

SLD Collaboration

We present the first study of rapidity gaps in e+e- annihilations using Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at SLAC. Our measured rapidity gap spectra fall exponentially with…

Physics Opportunities of e+e- Linear Colliders

Hitoshi Murayama, Michael E. Peskin

We describe the anticipated experimental program of an e+e- linear collider in the energy range 500 GeV -- 1.5 TeV. We begin with a description of current collider designs and the…
