PLOT-0044 Measurement of inclusive eta momentum spectra and multiplicities using the decay eta->gamma gamma
Doc Type Public Plots or Figures
Record Created July 17, 2003
Comments We present a measurement of inclusive eta production in continuum and Y(4S) events with a good precision and full coverage of the eta momentum range. The results are compared with previous measurements and MC predictions, which were found to be too optimistic.

21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC COMPARE multis.eps Figure or plot eps 15.47 The dependeny of the eta multiplicity in continuum events on the c.m. energy. QCD expects the multiplicity to go linear with the logarithm of E_cm.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC COMPARE pSpectra.eps Figure or plot eps 22.10 The eta momentum spectrum from B decays compared to the corresponding CLEO result. We find a very good agreement of the singel points and the braching fraction for B -> eta X. The errors are statistical only.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC COMPARE xPSpectra.eps Figure or plot eps 23.91 The continuum x_P spectrum is compared with higher energy data from ALEPH and L3 (E_cm = 91.2GeV) and JETSET predictions for both c.m. energies. In both cases MC shows an overestimation at low x_P values.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC COMPARE xPSpectra Models.eps Figure or plot eps 16.64 A comparison of the measured continuum points (scaled momentum x_P) with MC predictions (JETSET and SLDJETSET). We find a much too high rate of soft eta in both models.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC COMPARE zSpectra.eps Figure or plot eps 30.15 The plot (continuum z spectrum, z=scaled energy) summarizes published results and compares them to our spectrum. The higher energy data tend to fall below ours, which is expected in QCD. The ARGUS data are consistent with our results.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC EPSILONboth SP4.eps Figure or plot eps 21.36 The eta efficiency (eta->gammagamma) for continuum and Y(4S) events, determined from a full simulation.

21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC bothpSpectra.eps Figure or plot eps 23.34 Inclusive eta spectra for continuum and Y(4S) events , extracted from fits to the invariant eta mass distributions in bins of the c.m. momentum.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC xiSpectrum offpeak.eps Figure or plot eps 22.50 The xi spectrum for continuum was fitted using a Gaussian and a distorted Gaussian to determine the peak position.
21-JUL-2003 PUBLIC xiSpectrum ups4s.eps Figure or plot eps 20.39 The Gaussian fits to the xi spectum extracted from Y(4S) events. We further compare it to the EVTGEN predictions and see an overestimation of soft eta in the MC.
