We report a new measurement of A_b using data obtained by SLD in 1997-98. This measurement uses a vertex tag technique, where the selection of a b hemisphere is based on the reconstructed mass of the bottom hadron decay vertex. The method…
We report a new measurement of Rb=Gamma(Z -> bb)/ Gamma(Z -> hadrons) using a double tag technique where the b selection is based on topological reconstruction of the mass of the B-decay vertex. The measurement was performed using a sample…
Exploiting the manipulation of the SLC electron-beam polarization, we present precise direct measurements of the parity violation parameters A_c and A_b in the Z boson - c quark and Z boson - b quark coupling. Quark/antiquark discrimination…
We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter $A_c$ in the coupling of the $Z^0$ to $c$-quarks with the SLD detector. The measurement is based on a sample of 530k hadronic $Z^0$ decays, produced with a mean electron-beam…
We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter A_c. The measurement is based on 550k Z^0 decays collected by the SLD detector. The mean electron-beam polarization is |P_e| = 73 %. The tagging of c-quark events was…
We report a new measurement of Rb = Gamma(Z0->b-bbar) / Gamma(Z0->hadrons) using a double tag technique, where the b hemisphere selection is based on the reconstructed mass of the B hadron decay vertex. The measurement was performed using a…
We present measurements of $Z^0$ to heavy-quark coupling electroweak parameters, $R_b$, $R_c$, and parity-violation parameter $A_c$, from SLD. The measurements are based on approximately 550k hadronic $Z^0$ events collected in 1993-98.…
We compare heavy quark tagging and anti-tagging efficiencies for vertex detectors with different inner raddi using the topological vertex technique developed at the SLC/SLD experiment. Charm tagging benefits by going to very small inner…
We present an updated direct measurement of the parity-violating coupling of the Z boson to strange quarks, A_s, derived from the full SLD data sample of approximately 550,000 hadronic decays of Z bosons produced with a polarized electron…
A method for selecting and/or rejecting leptons from charm semileptonic decays based on the tagging of the secondary vertex using a hadron track is introduced. The method is developed for dimuon Drell-Yan measurements in LHCb using full…
The parity violation parameters $A_b$ and $A_c$ of the $Zb{\bar b}$ and $Zc\bar{c}$ couplings have been measured directly, using the polar angle dependence of the polarized cross sections at the $Z^0$ pole. Bottom and charmed hadrons were…
We present a preliminary direct measurement of the parity violating coupling of the Z boson to strange quarks, A_s, derived from a sample of approximately 300,000 hadronic decays of Z bosons produced with a polarized electron beam and…
The inclusive direct and cascade semileptonic branching ratios of the b quark were measured from a fit to the lepton momentum spectrum in the B-hadron rest frame, exploiting the charge correlation between the lepton and the heavy meson. The…
We present recent measurements by SLD of the branching fractions of B hadrons to states with 0 and 2 open charm hadrons, BR_{0D} and BR_{2D}, from which both the average charm yield per B decay, N_c and the inclusive branching ratio into…
We review recent Z^0 physics results from SLD that use the Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector for charged particle identification. The performance of the detector and likelihood method are described briefly. Several hadronization measurements…
We present preliminary results of a new measurement of the inclusive b quark fragmentation function in Z0 decays using a novel kinematic B hadron energy reconstruction technique. The measurement is performed using 150,000 hadronic Z0 events…
I will describe recent results from the HPQCD collaboration using a new very accurate method for charm quarks in lattice QCD, that we have used in calculations including the full effect of u, d and s sea quarks. Multiple values of the…
We present three preliminary results from SLD on B decays: an inclusive search for the process b-> s gluon, a measurement of the branching ratio for the process B -> D D-bar X, and measurements of the charged and neutral B lifetimes. All…
We measure the hadronic branching ratios of the Z0 boson into heavy quarks: Rb=Gamma(Z0->bb)/Gamma(Z0->hadrons) and Rc=Gamma(Z0->cc/Gamma(Z0->hadrons) using a multi-tag technique. The measurement was performed using about 400,000 hadronic…
Key electroweak measurements performed by the SLD collaboration at the SLC are described and recent results given. The left-right cross-section asymmetry, $A_{LR}$, has been updated to include the 1996 data. It remains the single most…
