TL;DR: In this article, a search was made for a new light gauge boson X which might be produced in π0→γ+X decay from neutral pions generated by 450 GeV protons in the CERN SPS neutrino target.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a full-scale MDT prototype for the Atlas Muon Spectrometer, which consists of two multilayers made of three layers of 96 drift tubes each.
Abstract: We present a full-scale MDT prototype for the Atlas Muon Spectrometer. The chamber consists of two multilayers made of three layers of 96 drift tubes each. The main feature of this chamber is the very accurate mechanical construction ( 20 μ m accuracy on single wire positioning) together with a very good individual tube spatial resolution. In this paper we present results both on the mechanical accuracy of the chamber, and on the performances obtained on the H8 test beam at CERN. In particular, we present an autocalibration method that allows to obtain the space-to-time relation of the tubes with a systematic error less than 20 μ m, the space resolution and the efficiency of the chamber.

TL;DR: In this article, the first precision measurements of the scaled momentum, the charge multiplicity, and the thrust of hadronic jets in the Breit frame in Deep Inelastic Scattering were reported.
Abstract: We report the first precision measurements of the scaled momentum, the charge multiplicity, and the thrust of hadronic jets in the Breit frame in Deep Inelastic Scattering νμ N and νμ N charged current events over the Q2 range from 1 to 100 GeV2 . The neutrino data, obtained in the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS, extend the Q2-evolution of these parameters by two orders of magnitude, and with commensurate precision, when compared to those reported by the ep and e+e− experiments.
