    Search for neutral Higgs boson production through the process e(+)e(-)->Z(*)H(0)

    No full text
    The results of the searches for neutral Higgs boson production in the process e(+)e(-) --> Z* H-0 are reported, focusing on Higgs boson masses below 70 GeV. The data sample consists of three million hadronic Z(0) decays collected by the L3 experiment at LEP from 1991 through 1994. No signal is found leading to a lower limit on the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson of 60.2 GeV at 95% C.L. These results are also interpreted in the framework of the General Two Doubler Model and limits on the nonstandard Higgs boson production through the process e(+)e(-) --> Z*h(0) are set. A lower limit of 66.7 GeV at 95% C.L. is obtained for the case where the Higgs decays into an invisible final state

    Tests Qed At Lep Energies Using E(+)e(-)-]gamma-gamma(gamma) and E(+)e(-)-]l(+)l(-)gamma-gamma

    Total and differential cross sections for the process e(+)e(-) --> gamma gamma(gamma), and the total cross section for the process e(+)e(-) --> gamma gamma gamma, are measured at energies around 91 GeV using the data collected with the L3 detector from 1991 to 1993. We set lower limits, at 95% CL, on a contact interaction energy scale parameter Lambda > 602 GeV, on the mass of an excited electron m(c)* > 146 GeV and on the QED cut-off parameters Lambda(+) > 149 GeV and Lambda(-) > 143 GeV. Upper limits are also set on the branching fractions of Z decaying into gamma gamma, pi degrees gamma and eta gamma of 5.2 x 10(-5), 5.2 x 10(-5) and 7.6 x 10(-5) respectively. The reactions e(+)e(-) --> rho(+)rho(-)n gamma (rho = e, mu, tau) are studied using the data collected from 1990 to 1994. The data are consistent with the QED expectations

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Measurement of the Michel parameters and the average tau neutrino helicity from tau decays in e(+)e(-)->tau(+)tau(-)

    The Michel parameters rho, eta, xi and xi delta, the chirality parameter xi(h) and the tau polarization P-tau are measured using 32012 tau pair decays. Their values are extracted from the energy spectra of leptons and hadrons in tau(-) --> l(-)(l) nu(tau) and tau(-) --> pi(-)nu(tau) decays, the energy and decay angular distributions in tau(-) --> rho(-)nu(tau) decays, and the correlations in the energy spectra and angular distributions of the decay products. Assuming universality in leptonic and semileptonic tau decays, the results are rho = 0.794+/-0.039+/-0.031, eta = 0.25+/-0.17+/-0.11, xi = 0.94+/-0.21+/-0.07, xi delta = 0.81+/-0.14+/-0.06, xi(h) = -0.970+/-0.053+/-0.011, and P-tau = -0.154+/-0.018+/-0.012. The measurement is in agreement with the V-A hypothesis for the weak charged current

    Search for neutral B meson decays to two charged leptons

    The decays B-d(0), B-s(0)--> e(+)e(-), mu(+)mu(-), e(+/-)mu(-/+) are LEP I data sample collected by the L3 detector. No signals are observed, therefore upper limits at the 90% (95%) confidence levels are set on the following branching fractions: Br(B-d(0) --> e(+)e(-)) e(+)e(-)) mu(+)mu(-)) mu(+)mu(-)) e(+/-)mu(-/+)) e(+/-)mu(-/+)) e(+)e(-) and B-s(0) --> e(+/-)mu(-/+) are the first limits set on these decay models

    Measurement of muon-pair production at 50GeV<root s<86GeV at LEP

    No full text
    Using the data recorded with the L3 detector at LEP, we study the process e(+)e(-) --> mu(+)mu(-)(gamma) for events with hard initial-slate photon radiation. The effective centre-of-mass energies of the muons range from 50 GeV to 86 GeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 103.5 pb(-1) and yields 293 muon-pair events with a hard photon along the beam direction. The events are used to determine the cross sections and the forward-backward charge asymmetries at centre-of-mass energies below the Z resonance

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry

    No full text
    This work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
