This book was released on 2015 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ratio $R_{\, \mathrm{f}_0 / \phi}$ of the branching fractions of the $\mathrm{B}^0_{s}$ meson to the CP-odd eigenstate $\mathrm{J}/\psi\, \mathrm{f}_0(980)$ and to $\mathrm{J}/\psi\, \phi(1020)$ is measured, where $\mathrm{J}/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-$, $\mathrm{f}_0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$, and $\phi \to \mathrm{K}^+\mathrm{K}^-$. The analysis is based on a data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3 fb$^{-1}$. The result is $R_{\, \mathrm{f}_0 / \phi} = 0.140 \pm 0.013 \pm 0.018$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is consistent with theoretical predictions and previous measurements of $R_{\, \mathrm{f}_0 / \phi}$. It is the most precise measurement of the ratio to date.

Book Measurement of the Lambda0 b  Lifetime in Lambda0 b       J psi Lambda0 in P Anti p Collisions at S

Download or read book Measurement of the Lambda0 b Lifetime in Lambda0 b J psi Lambda0 in P Anti p Collisions at S written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors report a measurement of the?{sub b}° lifetime in the exclusive decay?{sub b}° → J/??° in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using fully reconstructed decays, they measure?(?{sub b}°) = 1.593{sub -0.078}{sup +0.083}(stat.) ± 0.033(syst.) ps. This is the single most precise measurement of?(?{sub b}°) and is 3.2? higher than the current world average.

Book Measurement of the Ratio  B t  to Wb  B t  to Wq   in Pp Collisions at   sqrt s

Download or read book Measurement of the Ratio B t to Wb B t to Wq in Pp Collisions at sqrt s written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ratio of the top-quark branching fractions R=B(t to Wb)/B(t to Wq), where the denominator includes the sum over all down-type quarks (q = b, s, d), is measured in the t t-bar dilepton final state with proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s)=8 TeV from an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns, collected with the CMS detector. In order to quantify the purity of the signal sample, the cross section is measured by fitting the observed jet multiplicity, thereby constraining the signal and background contributions. By counting the number of b jets per event, an unconstrained value of R=1.014 +/- 0.003 (stat.) +/- 0.032 (syst.) is measured, in good agreement with the standard model prediction. A lower limit R> 0.955 at the 95% confidence level is obtained after requiring R ;=1, and a lower limit on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element abs(V[tb]) 0.975 is set at 95% confidence level. The result is combined with a previous CMS measurement of the t-channel single-top-quark cross section to determine the top-quark total decay width, Gamma[t]=1.36 +/- 0.02 (stat.) +0.14/-0.11 (syst.) GeV.

Book J psi and Psi 2S  Production in Pp Collisions at Sqrt s

Download or read book J psi and Psi 2S Production in Pp Collisions at Sqrt s written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A measurement of the J/psi and psi(2S) production cross sections in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 37 inverse picobarns. Using a fit to the invariant mass and decay length distributions, production cross sections have been measured separately for prompt and non-prompt charmonium states, as a function of the meson transverse momentum in several rapidity ranges. In addition, cross sections restricted to the acceptance of the CMS detector are given, which are not affected by the polarization of the charmonium states. The ratio of the differential production cross sections of the two states, where systematic uncertainties largely cancel, is also determined. The branching fraction of the inclusive B to psi(2S) X decay is extracted from the ratio of the non-prompt cross sections to be: BR(B to psi(2S) X) = (3.08 +/- 0.12(stat.+syst.) +/- 0.13(theor.) +/- 0.42(BR[PDG])) 10-̂3.

Book Measurement of the  Lambda 0b Lifetime in  Lambda 0b 2  Lambda  c pi   Decays at the Collider Detector at Fermilab

Download or read book Measurement of the Lambda 0b Lifetime in Lambda 0b 2 Lambda c pi Decays at the Collider Detector at Fermilab written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lifetime of the [Lambda]0b baryon (consisting of u, d and b quarks) is the theoretically most interesting of all b-hadron lifetimes. The lifetime of [Lambda]0b probes our understanding of how baryons with one heavy quark are put together and how they decay. Experimentally however, measurements of the [Lambda]0b lifetime have either lacked precision or have been inconsistent with one another. This thesis describes the measurement of [Lambda]0b lifetime in proton-antiproton collisions with center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV at Fermilab's Tevatron collider. Using 1070 ± 60pb-1 of data collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF), a clean sample of about 3,000 fully-reconstructed [Lambda]0b →[Lambda]c+[pi]- decays (with [Lambda]+c subsequently decaying via [Lambda]+c → p+ K- [pi]+) is used to extract the lifetime of the [Lambda]0b baryon, which is found to be c[tau]([Lambda]0b) = 422.8 ± 13.8(stat) ± 8.8(syst)[mu]m. This is the most precise measurement of its kind, and is even better than the current world average. It also settles the recent controversy regarding the apparent inconsistency between CDF's other measurement and the rest of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have measured the?{sub b} lifetime using the exclusive decay?{sub b}→J/??, based on 1.2 fb−1 of data collected with the D0 detector during 2002-2006. From 171 reconstructed?{sub b} decays, where the J/? and? are identified via the decays J/??????????− and????????p?, we measured the?{sub b} lifetime to be?(?{sub b})=1.218{sub -0.115}{sup +0.130}(stat)±0.042(syst) ps. We also measured the B° lifetime in the decay B°→J/?(?+?−)K{sub S}°(?+?−) to be?(B°)=1.501{sub -0.074}{sup +0.078}(stat)±0.050(syst) ps, yielding a lifetime ratio of?(?{sub b})/?(B°)=0.811{sub -0.087}{sup +0.096}(stat)±0.034(syst =).
