First Study of Rapidity Gaps in e+e- Annihilation
Abstract
We present the first study of rapidity gaps in e+e- annihilations, using Z0 decays collected by the SLAC Linear Collider Large Detector experiment. Our measured rapidity gap spectra fall exponentially with increasing gap size over five decades, and we observe no anomalous class of events containing large gaps. This supports the interpretation of the large-gap events measured in pp¯ and ep collisions in terms of exchange of color-singlet …
