Recent results on hadron multiplicities in heavy and light quark fragmentation above the Z peak (OPAL), and multiplicity distribution analysis (L3) and inclusive f_1 production (DELPHI) in hadronic Z decays are presented.
Hadronic interactions of two quasi-real photons have been studied extensively both during the LEP1 and the LEP2 data taking periods. The higher energies available at LEP2 in particular opened regions of phase space where hadronic processes…
We assume the coupling of Axion-like particle (ALP) to diphoton $g_{a\gamma\gamma} \sim 0$ and accomplish detailed analyses for the $\gamma Z$ decay mode of such heavy photophobic ALPs at the high luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC).…
