We present the first study of rapidity gaps in e(+)e(-) annihilations, using Z(0) decays collected by the SLAG 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 <p(p)over bar> and ep collisions in terms of exchange of color-singlet objects. The presence of heavy flavors or additional jets does not affect these conclusions.

Abstract
We present the first study of rapidity gaps in e(+)e(-) annihilations, using Z(0) decays collected by the SLAG 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 inFile in questo prodotto:
