LEP1的μ子内韧致辐射观测

Observation of the Muon Inner Bremsstrahlung at LEP1

The DELPHI Collaboration, J. Abdallah

摘要:

本文研究了LEP 1双μ子事例中在DELPHI主跟踪器(TPC)前转换的μ子韧致辐射光子在两个光子运动学范围内的变化:0.2 < E_gamma <= 1GeV和相对于母μ子的横向动量p_T < 40 MeV/c,以及1 < E_gamma <= 10 GeV和p_T < 80 MeV/c。我们发现,观测到的光子速率与QED对μ介子内韧致辐射的预测非常吻合,这与最近在强子Z^0衰变中观测到的反常软光子过剩相反。在0.2 < E_gamma <= 1GeV的光子能量范围内,观测到的信号与预测的μ子韧致辐射的比值为1.06 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.07,在1 < E_gamma <= 10 GeV的光子能量范围内,观测到的信号与预测的μ子韧致辐射的比值为1.04 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.12。首次在LEP的直接光子产生中观察到韧致辐射死锥。

英文摘要:

Muon bremsstrahlung photons converted in front of the DELPHI main tracker (TPC) in dimuon events at LEP1 were studied in two photon kinematic ranges: 0.2 < E_gamma <= 1 GeV and transverse momentum with respect to the parent muon p_T < 40 MeV/c, and 1 < E_gamma <= 10 GeV and p_T < 80 MeV/c . A good agreement of the observed photon rate with predictions from QED for the muon inner bremsstrahlung was found, contrary to the anomalous soft photon excess that has been observed recently in hadronic Z^0 decays. The obtained ratios of the observed signal to the predicted level of the muon bremsstrahlung are 1.06 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.07 in the photon energy range 0.2 < E_gamma <= 1 GeV and 1.04 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.12 in the photon energy range 1 < E_gamma <= 10 GeV. The bremsstrahlung dead cone is observed for the first time in the direct photon production at LEP.
