Book Lifetime Difference in the Bs0 System from Untagged Bs0 J psi Phi Decay at S 1 2

Download or read book Lifetime Difference in the Bs0 System from Untagged Bs0 J psi Phi Decay at S 1 2 written by Avdhesh Chandra and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, they present a study of the untagged decay of B{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}{phi}, the final state of which is a superposition of the CP-even and CP-odd states. Within the framework of the standard model (SM), to a good approximation, the two CP eigenstates of the (B{sub s}{sup 0}, {bar B}{sub s}{sup 0}) system are equivalent to mass eigenstates. The data collected by the D0 detector between June 2002 to August 2004 (an integrated luminosity of approximately 450 pb{sup -1}) has been used for the analysis presented in this thesis. From a simultaneous fit to the B{sub s}{sup 0} candidate mass, lifetime, and the angular distribution of the decay products, they obtain the CP-odd fraction in the final state at production time to be 0.16 {+-} 0.10(stat) {+-} 0.02(syst). The average lifetime of the (B{sub s}{sup 0}, {bar B}{sub s}{sup 0}) system is measured to be 1.39{sub -0.16}{sup +0.13}(stat){sub -0.02}{sup +0.01}(syst) ps, with the relative width difference between the heavy and light mass eigenstates, {Delta}{Gamma}/{bar {Gamma}} = ({Gamma}{sup L}/{Gamma}{sup H})/{bar {Gamma}} = 0.24{sub -0.38}{sup +0.28}(stat){sub -0.04}{sup +0.03}(syst). With the additional constraint from the world average of the B{sub s}{sup 0} lifetime measurements using semileptonic decays, they find average lifetime of the (B{sub s}, {sup 0}, {bar B}{sub s}{sup 0}) system 1.39 {+-} 0.06 ps with {Delta}{Gamma}/{bar {Gamma}} = 0.25{sub -0.15}{sup +0.14}. They have also done B{sup 0} lifetime measurement for its analogous decay mode to J/{psi}K*. With this measurement they get B{sup 0} lifetime 1.530 {+-} 0.043(stat) {+-} 0.023(syst) ps. Using above results, they get 0.91 {+-} 0.09(stat) {+-} 0.003(syst), for the ratio of the B{sub s}{sup 0} and B{sup 0} lifetimes ({bar {Gamma}}(B{sub s}{sup 0})/{Gamma}(B{sup 0})). These measurements are consistent with the predictions of SM within the measurement uncertainty.

Book Lifetime Difference and CP Asymmetry in the Bs J psi Phi Decay

Download or read book Lifetime Difference and CP Asymmetry in the Bs J psi Phi Decay written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The B{sub s} meson is an interesting particle to study because a sizable mixing induced CP violation in the B{sub s} -- {bar B}{sub s} system would be an indication for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we present a measurement of the lifetime difference [Delta][Gamma] between the B{sub s} mass eigenstates and the CP violating phase in the decay B{sub s} → J/[psi][phi]. In 1.7 fb−1 of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron p{bar p} collider we measure [Delta][Gamma] = 0.076{sup +0.059}{sub -0.063} (stat.) ±0.006 (syst.) ps−1, well consistent with the Standard Model prediction, and a mean B{sub s} lifetime of c{sub tau}{sub s} = 456 ± 13 (stat.) ± (syst.) [mu]m. We find no evidence for CP violation.

Book Measurement of Lifetime and Decay Width Difference in B0s J psi Phi Decays

Download or read book Measurement of Lifetime and Decay Width Difference in B0s J psi Phi Decays written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors measure the mean lifetime, [tau] = 2/([Lambda]{sub L} + [Lambda]{sub H}), and the decay-width difference, [Delta][Lambda] = [Lambda]{sub L} - [Lambda]{sub H}, of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B{sub s}° meson, B{sub sL}° and B{sub sH}°, in B{sub s}° → J/[psi][phi] decays using 1.7 fb−1 of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} collider. Assuming CP conservation, a good approximation for the B{sub s}° system in the standard model, they obtain [Delta][Lambda] = 0.076{sub -0.063}{sup +0.059}(stat.) ± 0.006(syst.) ps−1 and [tau] = 1.52 ± 0.04(stat.) ± 0.02(syst.) ps, the most precise measurements to date. The constraints on the weak phase and [Delta][Lambda] are consistent with CP conservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a study of Bs0 decays to the CP-odd final state J/[psi] f0(980) with J/[psi] 2!æ+æ- and f0(980) 2![pi]+[pi]-. Using pp̄ collision data with an integrated luminosity of 3.8 fb-1 collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron we measure a Bs0 lifetime of [tau](B0s 2!J/[psi] f0(980)) = 1.70-0.11+0.12(stat) " 0.03(syst) ps. This is the first measurement of the Bs0} lifetime in a decay to a CP eigenstate and corresponds in the standard model to the lifetime of the heavy Bs0 eigenstate. We also measure the product of branching fractions of B0s 2!J/[psi] f0(980) and f0(980) 2![pi]+[pi]- relative to the product of branching fractions of B0s 2!J/[psi][phi] and [phi]2!+K- to be Rf0/[psi] = 0.257 " 0.020(stat) " 0.014(syst), which is the most precise determination of this quantity to date.

Book Measurement of the Lifetime Difference and Cp violating Phase in B s J psi Phi Decays

Download or read book Measurement of the Lifetime Difference and Cp violating Phase in B s J psi Phi Decays written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades the current theoretical description, the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, was solidified by many measurements as the basic theory describing fundamental particles and their interactions. It is extremely successful in explaining the high-precision data collected by experiments so far. The Standard Model includes several intrinsic parameters which have to be measured in experiments. Independent analyses of different physical processes can constrain those parameters. By combining those measurements physicists might be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. If they are inconsistent it allows to get a hint on the theory that might supersede the Standard Model. The goal of the analysis presented in this thesis is to measure some of these parameters in the B{sub s} meson system. The B{sub s} meson, consisting of an anti-b and s quark, is not a pure mass eigenstate, thus allowing a B{sub s} meson to oscillate into its antiparticle via weak interacting processes. This is a general feature of any neutral meson. The history of meson mixing measurements is more then 50 years old. It was first observed in the kaon system. The oscillation in the B{sub d} system was measured very precisely by the B factories, whereas the oscillation frequency of the B{sub s} was measured with more than 5[sigma] significance last year by CDF and first evidence for mixing in the D0 system was presented only this year.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, they present a study of the untagged decay of B$0top{s}$ → J/??, the final state of which is a superposition of the CP-even and CP-odd states. Within the framework of the standard model (SM), to a good approximation, the two CP eigenstates of the (B$0top{s}$, $ar{B}$$0top{s}$) system are equivalent to mass eigenstates. The data collected by the D0 detector between June 2002 to August 2004 (an integrated luminosity of approximately 450 pb-1) has been used for the analysis presented in this thesis. From a simultaneous fit to the B$0top{s}$ candidate mass, lifetime, and the angular distribution of the decay products, they obtain the CP-odd fraction in the final state at production time to be 0.16 ±} 0.10(stat) ± 0.02(syst). The average lifetime of the (B$0top{s}$, $ar{B}$$0top{s}$) system is measured to be 1.39$+0.13top{-0.16}$(stat)$+0.01top{-0.02}$(syst) ps, with the relative width difference between the heavy and light mass eigenstates, ??/$ar{γ}$ = (?L/?H)/$ar{γ}$ = 0.24$+0.16top{-0.38}$(stat)$+0.03top{-0.04}$(syst). With the additional constraint from the world average of the B$0top{s}$ lifetime measurements using semileptonic decays, they find average lifetime of the (B$0top{s}$, $ar{B}$$0top{s}$) system 1.39 ± 0.06 ps with ??/$ar{γ}$ = 0.25$+0.14top{-0.15}$. They have also done B0 lifetime measurement for its analogous decay mode to J/?}K*. With this measurement they get B0 lifetime 1.530 ± 0.043(stat) ± 0.023(syst) ps. Using above results, they get 0.91 ± 0.09(stat) ± 0.003(syst), for the ratio of the B$0top{s}$ and B0 lifetimes ($ar{γ}$(B$0top{s}$)/?(B0)). These measurements are consistent with the predictions of SM within the measurement uncertainty.

Book Measurement of the B s0 Lifetime in B s0 K K Decays

Download or read book Measurement of the B s0 Lifetime in B s0 K K Decays written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method is presented to simultaneously separate the contributions to a sample of B{sub (s)}° 2!hh{sup {prime}-} decays, where h = [pi] or K, and measure the B meson lifetimes in the sample while correcting for the bias in the lifetime distributions due to the hadronic trigger at the CDF experiment. Using 1 fb−1 of data collected at CDF the B° lifetime is measured as [tau]{sub B°} = 1.558{sub -0.047}{sup +0.050}{sub stat} ± 0.028{sub syst} ps, in agreement with the world average measurement. The B{sub s}° lifetime in the B{sub s}° 2!KK− decay is measured as [tau]{sub B{sub s}° 2!K+K−} = 1.51{sub -0.11}{sup +0.13}{sub stat} ± 0.04{sub syst} ps. No difference is observed between the lifetime and other measurements of the average B{sub s}° lifetime or the lifetime of the light B{sub s}° mass eigenstate determined from B{sub s}° 2!J/[psi][phi] decays. With the assumptions that B{sub s}° 2!K+K− is 100% CP-even and that [tau]{sub B{sub s}°} = [tau]{sub B°} the width difference in the B{sub s}{sup 0} system is determined as [Delta][Lambda]{sup CP}/[Lambda] = 0.03{sub -0.15}{sup +0.17}{sub stat} ± 0.05{sub syst} using the current world average B{sup 0} lifetime. This is consistent with zero and with the current world average measurement.

Book B 0 s Lifetime Measurement in the CP odd Decay Channel B 0 s to J psi mbox f 0 980

Download or read book B 0 s Lifetime Measurement in the CP odd Decay Channel B 0 s to J psi mbox f 0 980 written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lifetime of the $B^{0}_{s}$ meson is measured in the decay channel $B^{0}_{s} \to J/\psi\mbox{ }\pi^+ \pi^-$ with $880 \leq M_{\pi^+\pi^-} \leq 1080$ MeV/$c^2$, which is mainly a CP-odd state and dominated by the $f_{0}(980)$ resonance. In 10.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the D0 detector in Run II of the Tevatron, the lifetime of the $B^{0}_{s}$ meson is measured to be $\tau(B^{0}_{s}) = 1.70\pm 0.14 \mbox{ (stat)} \pm 0.05 \mbox{ (syst) ps}$. Neglecting CP violation in $B_s^0/\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing, the measurement can be translated into the width of the heavy mass eigenstate of the $B^0_s$, $\Gamma_H = 0.59 \pm 0.05 \mbox{ (stat)} \pm 0.02 \mbox{ (syst)} \mbox{ ps$^{-1}$}$.

Book Measurement of the B d0 Lifetime Using B d0 to J psi K0 S Decays at Dzero

Download or read book Measurement of the B d0 Lifetime Using B d0 to J psi K0 S Decays at Dzero written by Paul W. Balm and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes a measurement of the B{sub d}{sup 0} lifetime in the decay to (J/{psi}K{sub S}{sup 0}), using 114 pb{sup -1} of data collected by the D0 experiment at the Tevatron from October 15, 2002, to June 10, 2003. The measurement is motivated by the tests of the Standard Model that it makes possible. These include tests of Heavy Quark Effective Theory predicting B-meson lifetimes, and of the complex phase in the CKM-matrix as the source of CP-violation in B{sub d}{sup 0} decays to (J/{psi}K{sub S}{sup 0}).
