Getting ready for Physics at the LHC with the CMS Detector
V. Drollinger
In order to get ready for physics at the LHC, the CMS experiment has to be set up for data taking. The data have to be well understood before new physics can be investigated. On th…
B-hadron production in top quark decay
Gennaro Corcella, Volker Drollinger
We present the energy distribution of b-flavoured hadrons in top quark decay using the PYTHIA and HERWIG event generators, which we tune to LEP and SLD data. We find that fitting t…
Bottom-quark fragmentation: comparing results from tuned event generators and resummed calculations
Gennaro Corcella, Volker Drollinger
We study bottom-quark fragmentation in e+e- annihilation, top and Higgs decay H -> b bbar, using Monte Carlo event generators, as well as calculations, based on the formalism of pe…
Measurement of the Forward-Backward Charge Asymmetry from W --> e nu Production in p anti-p Collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV
D. Acosta, The CDF Collaboration
We report a measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry of electrons from W boson decays in p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV using a data sample of 170 pb-1 coll…
Measurement of the J/Psi Meson and b-Hadron Production Cross Sections in ppbar Collisions at sqrt s = 1960 GeV
D. Acosta, CDF Collaboration
We present a new measurement of the inclusive and differential production cross sections of mesons and -hadrons in proton-antiproton collisions at GeV. The…
Measurement of the Lifetime Difference Between B_s Mass Eigenstates
D. Acosta
We present measurements of the lifetimes and polarization amplitudes for B_s --> J/psi phi and B_d --> J/psi K*0 decays. Lifetimes of the heavy (H) and light (L) mass eigenstates i…
