Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remeasurement of the resonance near E/sub cm/ = 3.77 GeV in the ee− annihilation is presented. The properties of the resonance are used to deduce branching fractions of charmed mesons into hadronic final states. Several previously unseen decay modes are reported. Decays into Cabibbo suppressed final states are observed. The inclusive properties of D meson decays are studied, including strangeness and charged particle multiplicity. The semileptonic branching fractions for D° and D/sup -+/ are measured, providing a determination of the relative lifetimes of these particles.

Book excerpt: Charmed meson production through two body processes in ee− annihilation is discussed. Evidence for states of charm excitation beyond the D* is obtained through an analysis of the recoil spectrum against D's produced at Ecm = 4.415 GeV. Direct observation of the reaction D* .-->. .pi.+D° in SPEAR data taken at Ecm exceeding 5 GeV is discussed. This reaction provides an extremely accurate determination of the D*+, D° mass difference (M/sub D*/sup +// -- M/sub D°/ = 145.3 +- 0.5 MeV/c2) and a new upper limit on D° -- anti D° mixing effects. The results of fits to the D°, D/sup +/ recoil spectrum are discussed. These fits provide considerable information on the masses, production mechanisms, and decays of charmed mesons. This is followed by a brief presentation of the known cross sections for charmed meson production and decay and an analysis of possible resonant structure in the decay products of the D° and D/sup +/. Lastly, a bubble chamber D° candidate submitted by Hagopian et al., of Florida State University is discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compelling evidence is presented for the production of the lying (D°, D) isodoublet of charmed mesons by ee− annihilation. A study of the recoil mass spectra against these mesons reveals the presence of more massive charmed states, the D*° and D*+, produced in association with the D isodoublet. Mass values and upper limits on the width of the D and D* are established, and the branching fractions for several D* decay modes are obtained. An analysis of the production and decay angular distributions shows that the D is probably a pseudoscalar state and the D* is probably a vector. Finally, upper limits are obtained for D°-antiD° mixing.

Book excerpt: Results on charmed meson production and decay are presented from the Mark III at SPEAR. F anti F* associated production is observed allowing a direct measurement of the F* mass. A search for the decay D .-->. .mu.nu/sub .mu./ in the recoil of hadronically tagged D/sup + -/ decays provides a stringent limit on the pseudoscalar decay constant f/sub D/. New results on D° anti D° mixing from semileptonic D° decays and evidence for a nonresonant component in D/sub e4/ decays are also presented.

Book excerpt: We report recent results on charmed meson decays, obtained using the Mark III detector at SPEAR. The first topic discussed is the observation of ee− .-->. D/sub s/D/sub s/* at .sqrt.s = 4.14 GeV. The D/sub s/* is detected as a peak in the mass distribution recoiling from D/sub s//sup + -/ .-->. phi.pi./sup + -/. The mass of the D/sub s/* is found to be (2109.3 +- 2.1 +- 3.1)MeV/c2, yielding a D/sub s/*-D/sub s/ mass difference of (137.9 +- 2.1 +- 4.3) MeV/c2. The production cross section times branching ratio is also measured. Next, a search for the decay D .-->. .mu.+nu/sub .mu./ is described. A preliminary upper limit (90% CL) on B(D+ .-->. .mu.+nu/sub .mu./) of 8.4 x 10−4 is obtained, corresponding to an upper limit on the decay constant f/sub D/ of 340 MeV/c2. Finally, we present results of a search for the lepton family number violating decay D° .-->. .mu.e. We find B(D° .-->. .mu.e)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High precision measurements of weak neutral current and charged current processes and of the properties of the Z and W bosons have established the standard electroweak model as correct down to a distance scale of 10-16 cm, and are a sensitive probe of possible underlying physics. In this book, all aspects of the program are considered in detail, including the structure of the standard model, radiative corrections, high precision experiments, and their implications. The major classes of experiments are surveyed, covering the experiments themselves, the data analysis, results, and prospects.This volume is a detailed reference for theoretical and experimental researchers, as well as an introductory text for advanced students.

Download or read book Searches for CP Violation in Charmed Meson Decays written by Hamish Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-07 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, summarised by the Standard Model of particle physics, is incomplete. For example, it fails to explain why we do not see equal, or almost equal, numbers of particles and their antiparticle partners. To explain this asymmetry requires, among other effects, a mechanism known as charge-parity (CP) violation that causes differences between the rates at which particles and antiparticles decay. CP violation is seen in systems containing bottom and strange quarks, but not in those with up, charm or top quarks. This thesis describes searches for particle-antiparticle asymmetries in the decay rates of charmed mesons. No evidence of CP violation is found. With current sensitivities, an asymmetry large enough to observe probably could not be explained by the Standard Model. Instead an explanation could come from new physics, for example contributions from supersymmetric or other undiscovered heavy particles. In the thesis, the development of new techniques to search for these asymmetries is described. They are applied to data from the LHCb experiment at CERN to make precise measurements of asymmetries in the D^+->K^-K^+pi^+ decay channel. This is the most promising charged D decay for CP violation searches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as a classic in its field, Constructing Quarks recounts the history of the post-war conceptual development of elementary-particle physics. Inviting a reappraisal of the status of scientific knowledge, Andrew Pickering suggests that scientists are not mere passive observers and reporters of nature. Rather they are social beings as well as active constructors of natural phenomena who engage in both experimental and theoretical practice.
