Rivet analyses

e+e → e+eη via intermediate photons at 91.2 GeV

Experiment: L3 (LEP)

Inspire ID: 447945

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett.B 418 (1998) 399-410

Beams: e+ e-

Beam energies: (45.6, 45.6)GeV

Run details: - e+ e- > e+e- meson via photon photon -> meson

Measurement of the cross section for the production of η in photon-photon collisions, i.e. e+e → γγe+e followed by γγ → η, by the L3 experiment at 91.2 GeV. N.B. The measurement is the integrated crossd section in each Q2 bin, not tyhe true differential cross section.
