Abstract: The Barrel CRID detector has been operating successfully at SLD for the past seven years. It is an important tool for SLD physics analyses. We report results based on long term operational experience of a number of important quantities such as the Cherenkov quality factor, N/sub 0/ of the device, fluid transparency, electron lifetime, single electron detection efficiency, anode wire ageing, TMAE purity, long term transparency, Cherenkov angle resolution and the number of photoelectrons observed per ring.

Abstract: The principles of the DiRC ring imaging Cherenkov technique are briefly explained and its choice for the B a B ar detector particle identification system is motivated. A large scale prototype of the DIRC for the B a B ar experiment is then described. Details of the design of this prototype and its test in a hadronic particle beam at the CERN-PS are presented, and results from various prototype and test configurations are given. For example, after correcting for geometrical acceptance and estimated collection effects, the number of photoelectrons was measured to be 146 ± 1.8 ± 9 cm −1 , for a track angle of 20° at zero photon transmission distance. The effective attenuation loss was measured to be 4.1 ± 0.7% per meter of bar length, and the observed single photon resolution was 10.0 ± 0.2 mrad. This performance is consistent with what was expected from earlier tests and Monte Carlo simulations, and will be fully adequate for the physics demands of the B a B ar experiment.

Abstract: The microstrip vertex detector in BaBar experiment will be read out by a purposely designed front-end chip. The chip performs amplification and analog-to-digital conversion to retain the information of the charge induced on the readout strips. It stores the digital data during the trigger latency time and associates the incoming trigger with the relevant hit data. Data are buffered and sent off in sparsified form when a readout command is received. The present paper discusses the signal processing performed by the chip.

Abstract: We present measurements of Rb using the SLD at the SLC. The analyses use 2D and 3D impact parameter tags and a displaced 3D vertex tag which all exploit the small size and stability of the e+e- interaction point and the precision 3D CCD pixel vertex detector to achieve high bb¯-tagging efficiencies and purities. The combined measurement yields Rb=0.229±0.011 and is consistent with standard model predictions.

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the correlation between the {ital Z}{sup 0} spin and the event-plane orientation in polarized {ital Z}{sup 0} decays into three jets in the SLAC Linear Collider Large Detector experiment at SLAC utilizing a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The {ital CP}-even and {ital T}-odd triple product {ital {rvec S}}{sub {ital Z}}{center_dot}({ital {rvec k}}{sub 1}{times}{ital {rvec k}}{sub 2}), formed from the two fastest jet momenta {ital {rvec k}}{sub 1} and {ital {rvec k}}{sub 2} and the {ital Z}{sup 0} polarization vector {ital {rvec S}}{sub {ital Z}}, is sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. We measure the expectation value of this quantity to be consistent with zero and set 95% C.L. limits of {minus}0.022{lt}{beta}{lt}0.039 on the correlation. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital The} {ital American} {ital Physical} {ital Society}.

Abstract: We report a measurement of the average {ital B} hadron lifetime using data collected with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider in 1993. An inclusive analysis selected three-dimensional vertices with {ital B} hadron lifetime information in a sample of 50{times}10{sup 3} {ital Z}{sup 0} decays. A lifetime of 1.564{plus_minus}0.030(stat){plus_minus}0.036(syst) ps was extracted from the decay length distribution of these vertices using a binned maximum likelihood method. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital The} {ital American} {ital Physical} {ital Society}.

Abstract: We have compared a new QCD calculation by Clay and Ellis of energy-energy correlations (EEC`s) and their asymmetry (AEEC`s) in {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} annihilation into hadrons with data collected by the SLD experiment at SLAC. From fits of the new calculation, complete at {ital O}({alpha}{sub {ital s}}{sup 2}), we obtained {alpha}{sub {ital s}}({ital M}{sub {ital Z}}{sup 2})=0.1184{plus_minus}0.0031(expt){plus_minus}0.0129(theory) (EEC) and {alpha}{sub {ital s}}({ital M}{sub {ital Z}}{sup 2})=0.1120{plus_minus}0.0034(expt){plus_minus}0.0036(theory) (AEEC). The EEC result is significantly lower than that obtained from comparable fits using the {ital O}({alpha}{sub {ital s}}{sup 2}) calculation of Kunszt and Nason.

Abstract: The parity-violating parameters ${A}_{b}$ and ${A}_{c}$ are directly measured by the SLD experiment at the SLAC Linear Collider in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collisions with polarized electrons at the ${Z}^{0}$ resonance. Leptons with distinctive total and transverse momenta are used to select and analyze ${Z}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}b\overline{b}$ and ${Z}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}c\overline{c}$ events. ${A}_{b}$ and ${A}_{c}$ are extracted by forming the left-right forward-backward asymmetry in electron beam polarization and quark polar angle. From our 1993 sample of 1.8 p${\mathrm{b}}^{--1}$ of ${Z}^{0}$ decay data with an average electron beam polarization of 63% we find ${A}_{b}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.91\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.14$ (stat) $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07$ (syst) and ${A}_{c}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.37\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.23$ (stat) $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.21$ (syst).

Abstract: Using an impact parameter tag to select an enriched sample of {ital Z}{sup 0}{r_arrow}{ital bb}{ovr bar} events, and the net momentum-weighted track charge to identify the sign of the charge of the underlying {ital b} quark, we have measured the left-right forward-backward asymmetry for {ital b} quark production as a function of polar angle. Based on 1.8pb{sup {minus}1} of {ital Z}{sup 0} decay data produced with a mean electron beam polarization of {ital P}{sub {ital e}}=63%, this yields a direct measurement of the extent of parity violation in the {ital Zbb} coupling of {ital A}{sub {ital b}}=0.87{plus_minus}0.11(stat){plus_minus}0.09(syst).

Abstract: We have searched for signatures of polarization in hadronic jets from [ital Z][sup 0][r arrow][ital q[bar q]] decays using the jet handedness'' method. The polar angle asymmetry induced by the high SLAC Linear Collider electron-beam polarization was used to separate quark jets from antiquark jets, expected to be left and right polarized, respectively. We find no evidence for jet handedness in our global sample or in a sample of light quark jets, and we set upper limits at the 95% C.L. of 0.063 and 0.099, respectively, on the magnitude of the analyzing power of the method proposed by Efremov [ital et] [ital al].

Abstract: We determine the strong coupling ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}$ from a comprehensive study of energy-energy correlations (EEC's) and their asymmetry (AEEC's) in hadronic decays of ${\mathit{Z}}^{0}$ bosons collected by the SLD experiment at SLAC. The data are compared with all four available predictions of QCD calculated up to O(${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}^{2}$) in perturbation theory, and also with a resummed calculation matched to all four of these calculations. We find large discrepancies between ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}$ values extracted from the different O(${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}^{2}$) calculations. We also find a large renormalization scale ambiguity in ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}$ determined from the EEC's using the O(${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}^{2}$) calculations; this ambiguity is reduced in the case of the AEEC's and is very small when the matched calculations are used. Averaging over all calculations, and over the EEC and AEEC results, we obtain ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}_{\mathit{s}}$(${\mathit{M}}_{\mathit{Z}}^{2}$)=0.${124}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.004}^{+0.003}$ (expt.) \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.009 (theory).

Abstract: We report on operational experience with and experimental performance of the SLD barrel Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector from the 1992 and 1993 physics runs. The liquid (C/sub 6/F/sub 14/) and gas (C/sub 5/F/sub 12/) radiator recirculation systems have performed well, and the drift gas supply system has operated successfully with TMAE for three years. Cherenkov rings have been observed from both the liquid and gas radiators. The number and angular resolution of Cherenkov photons have been measured, and found to be close to design specifications. >

Abstract: Using an impact parameter tag to select an enriched sample of [ital Z][sup 0][r arrow][ital b[bar b]] events, we have measured the difference between the average charged multiplicity of [ital Z][sup 0][r arrow][ital b[bar b]] and [ital Z][sup 0][r arrow] hadrons to be [ital [bar n]][sub [ital b]][minus][ital [bar n]][sub had]=2.24[plus minus]0.30 ( stat )[plus minus]0.33 ( syst ) tracks per event. From this, we have derived [ital [bar n]][sub [ital b]][minus][ital [bar n]][sub [ital u][ital d][ital s]]=3.31[plus minus]0.41[plus minus]0.79. Comparing this measurement with those at lower center-of-mass energies, we find no evidence that [ital [bar n]][sub [ital b]][minus][ital [bar n]][sub [ital u][ital d][ital s]] depends on energy. This result is in agreement with a precise prediction of perturbative QCD, and supports the notion that QCD remains asymptotically free down to the scale [ital M][sub [ital b]][sup 2].

Abstract: Summary form only. The performance of the Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) of the SLD experiment at the SLAC linear collider during the 1992 physics data run is discussed. The barrel CRID is complete and fully operational. Cherenkov rings have been observed from both the liquid and the gas radiators. The rings are associated with particle tracks measured in the central drift chamber and the radius of the ring together with the momentum measurement is used to identify particles. Work is in progress to improve the resolution by better determining the position of the drift boxes, the mirrors, and the central drift chamber relative to one other using data from cosmic rays and Z/sup 0/ chambers. >

Abstract: Evidence is presented for two J P =2 − strange mesons; one at ∼ 1.77 GeV/ c 2 and the other at ∼ 1.82 GeV/ c 2 . These states have been observed in a partial wave analysis of the Kω system in the reaction K − p → K − π + π − π 0 p where the strange mesons decay into K − ω and the ω then decays to π + π − π 0 . The data set contains ∼ 10 5 Kωp events at 11 GeV/ c taken by the LASS spectrometer at SLAC.

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the left-right cross section asymmetry (${\mathit{A}}_{\mathit{L}\mathit{R}}$) for Z boson production by ${\mathit{e}}^{+}$${\mathit{e}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ collisions. The measurement was performed at a center-of-mass energy of 91.55 GeV with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider which utilized a longitudinally polarized electron beam. The average beam polarization was (22.4\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.6)%. Using a sample of 10 224 Z decays, we measure ${\mathit{A}}_{\mathit{L}\mathit{R}}$ to be 0.100\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.044(stat)\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.004(syst), which determines the effective weak mixing angle to be ${\mathrm{sin}}^{2}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\theta}}}_{\mathit{W}}^{\mathit{e}\mathit{f}\mathit{f}}$=0.2378 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0056(stat)\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0005(syst).

Abstract: All of the major subsystems for the barrel Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) in the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have now been commissioned. The CRID participated in the SLD engineering run of June-August 1991. In a cosmic ray test at the end of the run, Cerenkov rings were observed for the first time. Initial data for the CRID, including Cerenkov rings, studies of minimum ionizing particles, and data from the fiber optics calibration system are presented. The SLD engineering run and the ensuing dedicated CRID test runs have demonstrated that the system behaves as expected. It has been possible to track particles using ionization in the drift boxes and to reconstruct single electron coordinates very well. The runs have also enabled debugging of this complex system. >

Abstract: Preliminary results are presented from an analysis of the π+π− system produced in the reaction K−p → π+π−Λ at 11 GeV/c observed with the LASS spectrometer at SLAC. A clear ϱ - ω interference effect is observed, and a fit to the natural parity exchange mass distribution yields a branching fraction estimate of (1.7 ± 0.5) % for the decay ω → π+π−. An amplitude analysis reveals that the bump in the mass distribution in the vicinity of the ƒ2(1270) actually contains a significant P-wave component. The mass dependence of the corresponding amplitude and phase is well described by a resonant Breit-Wigner line-shape with mass (1266 ± 14) MeV/c2, width (166 ± 35) MeV/c2, and estimated elasticity ∼ 5%. The interpretation of this state as the first radial excitation of the ϱ(770) is discussed.

Abstract: The authors describe the front-end electronics for the Cerenkov Ring Imaging Detector (CRID) of the SLD (Stanford Large Detector) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The design philosophy and implementation are discussed with emphasis on the low-noise hybrid amplifiers, signal processing, and data acquisition electronics. The system receives signals from a highly efficient single-photoelectron detector. These signals are shaped and amplified before being stored in an analog memory and processed by a digitizing system. The data from several analog-to-digital converters are multiplexed and transmitted via fiber optics to the SLD FASTBUS system. The authors highlight the technologies used as well as the space, power-dissipation, and environmental constraints imposed on the system. >

Abstract: The Stanford Large Detector for experimental particle physics detection at the SLAC Linear Collider contains a Cherenkov ring imaging detector (CRID). The barrel CRID mirrors have been successfully produced and installed. The industrial mirror production process, the quality control of the mirrors produced, and the results of the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) reflectivity and mirror-shape accuracy are described. An average reflectivity of at least 80% for light at 160 nm and 85% for light in the 180–230 nm wavelength range has been achieved in the production of over 400 mirrors of a typical size of 30 by 30 cm. The surface roughness and optical distortion measurements imply that the light loss due to scattering is a few percent of the incident light and the angular error due to shape distortion is less than 1 mrad.

Abstract: Summary form only given. The SLAC Large Detector (SLD) barrel Cerenkov ring imaging detector (CRID) is now complete and has participated in SLD data runs. Performance tests of the drift boxes and detectors both in the SLD and in separate test stands have been performed. Tests in SLD with the fiber-optic calibration system include the demonstration and measurement of electron drift paths, checks of the anode wire calibration, and the performance of the fiber-optic system in general. Other tests include measurements of the uniformity of TMAE concentration in a drift box and measurements of single electron diffusion and photon feedback in three drift gases. >

42. Intentional systemic mindfulness: an integrative model for self-regulation and health

Author: S L, Shapiro and G E, Schwartz
Subjects: Humans, Adaptation, Physiological, Attitude to Health, Psychophysiology
Abstract: Self-regulation is the process whereby systems maintain stability of functioning and adaptability to change. Self-regulation is based on feedback loops which can be enhanced through attention. All self-regulation techniques, therefore, involve the cultivation of attention. However, the intention with which attention is directed may be crucial. In this paper, we explore intentional systemic mindfulness a model that explicitly introduces intention into self-regulation theory and practice. Intention as defined by this model is composed of the context of attention-systemic perspectives - and the quality of attention - mindfulness qualities. Intentional systemic mindfulness addresses both "why" (systemic perspectives) and "how" (mindfulness qualities) one directs attention, which may promote healing on multiple levels. Directions for research and implications for multiple levels of integrative health are considered.

43. The construct of control in mind-body medicine: implications for healthcare

Author: J A, Astin, S L, Shapiro, R A, Lee, and D H, Shapiro
Subjects: Complementary Therapies, Mind-Body Relations, Metaphysical, Humans, Internal-External Control
Abstract: Research suggests that one of the principal reasons patients are attracted to alternative medicine is that they find many of these therapies more congruent with their philosophical orientation toward health. Many mind-body approaches, which are some of the most frequently used classifications of complementary and alternative therapies, grow out of research demonstrating the important role of psychological factors in treating and preventing illness. This article reviews research on one such factor--control--and its importance in health. Studies demonstrating the following are highlighted: (1) illness frequently results in feelings of loss of control; (2) gaining a sense of control can help patients to cope with illness; (3) whereas control may influence physiological function and health outcomes, the amount of active control we can exercise over physical functioning and health is limited; and (4) it is important to match control strategies to patient control styles and preferences. The implications of mind-body studies are also discussed.

Abstract: The inability to cope successfully with the enormous stress of medical education may lead to a cascade of consequences at both a personal and professional level. The present study examined the short-term effects of an 8-week meditation-based stress reduction intervention on premedical and medical students using a well-controlled statistical design. Findings indicate that participation in the intervention can effectively (1) reduce self-reported state and trait anxiety, (2) reduce reports of overall psychological distress including depression, (3) increase scores on overall empathy levels, and (4) increase scores on a measure of spiritual experiences assessed at termination of intervention. These results (5) replicated in the wait-list control group, (6) held across different experiments, and (7) were observed during the exam period. Future research should address potential long-term effects of mindfulness training for medical and premedical students.

Abstract: Over a 31-month period, we performed four neurointerventional procedures after which unexpected foreign bodies were noted in multiple arteries. All four procedures had in common the use of Fastracker-18 infusion microcatheters. Histologically, the intravascular debris looked strikingly similar to the hydrophilic coating on the catheter. An in vitro test mimicking clinical use of the microcatheter revealed that the hydrophilic coating can separate from the catheter. Until the coating is refined to make it more resistant to stripping, it may be advisable to reduce the amount of back-and-forth movement of these microcatheters if they have been positioned through guide catheters with small inner diameters and angled tips.

Abstract: A measurement of the lifetime of the tau lepton has been made using a sample of 1671 $Z^0\rightarrow\tau^+\tau^-$ decays collected by the SLD detector at SLC. The measurement benefits from the small and stable collision region at SLC and the precision vertex detector of SLD. Three analysis techniques have been used: decay length, impact parameter, and impact parameter difference methods. The combined result is $\tau_\tau = 297\pm 9(stat.)\pm 5(syst.)$ fs., Comment: 20 pages, uuencoded gzip-compressed postscript (302 kB) Uncompressed postscript file (855 kB) available via anonymous ftp as ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/pub/daoudi/sldtaulif.ps

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the left-right cross-section asymmetry (ALR) in Z-boson production observed at the SLAC Linear Collider. In 1992 the SLD detector recorded 10 224 Z events produced by the collision of longitudinally polarized electrons with an unpolarized positron beam at a center-of-mass energy of 91.55 GeV. The average electron beam polarization during the run was (22.4 ± 0.6)%. We measure ALR to be 0.100 ± 0.0440 (stat.) ±0.004 (syst.), which determines the effective weak mixing angle to be $\sin^2\theta_W^{\rm {eff}} = 0.2378\pm 0.0056\, ({\rm stat.})\pm 0.0005\, ({\rm syst.})$.
