Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a large data sample of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV recorded by the CDF and D0 detectors operating at Fermilab Tevatron, the orbitally excited B mesons B{sub 1} and B*{sub 2} are observed directly as two separate states in fully reconstructed decays to B{sup (*)}{pi}. The masses and the mass differences between the states are presented. In the charm system, the orbitally excited D mesons D{sub 1} and D*{sub 2} are observed in fully reconstructed decays to D{sup (*)}{pi}. Measurements of the product branching rates of semileptonic decays B {yields} {bar D}**{mu}{sup +}{nu}{sub {mu}}X and their ratio are presented. They also present the observation of the semileptonic decays B{sub s} {yields} {mu}{nu}D**{sub s} where the excited D**{sub s} states are reconstructed in the mode D**{sub s} {yields} D*K{sub S}{sup 0}.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an analysis of excited states of B0, B+ and B0 s mesons, decaying to B mesons while emitting a pion or kaon. They are reconstructed from their decay products and a selection is performed to discard wrongly reconstructed B(s) mesons with the multivariate analysis software NeuroBayes, as described in chapter 5. In the training process, the sPlot method and measured and simulated data are used. Chapter 6 describes how the properties of excited B(s) are determined by an unbinned maximum likelihood t to their mass spectra. The systematic uncertainties determined in this analysis are described in chapter 7. The results of this thesis are presented in chapter 8 and a conclusion is given in chapter 9. The results shown in this thesis have been published before in [1].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of the first measurement of {sup 3}P orbitally excited neutral D-meson states, D*{sub 2}{sup 0} and D{sub 1}{sup 0}, produced in hadron collisions at the Tevatron are presented. Using data from the displaced track trigger, CDF II collects a large sample of these states in decay modes D*{sup +} {pi}{sup -}, D{sup +} {pi}{sup -}. Masses and widths of both states have been measured with precision better than or comparable to that of the world average.

Book excerpt: The authors present the latest results on the spectroscopy of orbitally excited strange bottom mesons from {approx} 1 fb{sup -1} of CDF data. The measurements are performed with fully reconstructed B decays collected by the CDF II detector at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV in both the di-muon and the fully hadronic trigger paths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production of orbitally excited (L = 1) states of B mesons, B{sup **}, is studied using a sample of nearly ten thousand partially reconstructed B mesons collected with the CDF detector from p{anti p} collisions at (square root)s = 1.8 TeV. Ambiguities in the reconstruction of the B flavor and momentum are resolved. The fraction of b quarks that hadronize into an L = 1 state is measured to be 0.28 " 0.06(stat) " 0.03(syst), and the collective mass of the B{sup **} states is measured to be m(B1) = 5.71 " 0.02 GeV/c2 given the mass splittings between the four states.

Book excerpt: The authors report on two spectroscopy results from CDF. First, they observe the orbitally excited B** mesons in B --> lD(*) X events. They find 28 " 6 " 3% of light B mesons produced are B** states. A collective mass fit results in a B1 mass of 5.71 " 0.02 GeV/c2. Secondly, they observe 20.4{sub -5.5}{sup +0.18} " 0.03 ps lifetime. The production rate is in reasonable accordance with expectations.

Download or read book Observations and Measurements of Orbitally Excited L written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes investigations of the first set of orbitally excited (L = 1) states for both the Bd0 and Bs0 meson systems (B**d and B**s). The data sample corresponds to 1.35 fb-1 of integrated luminosity, collected in 2002-2006 by the D0 detector, during the Run IIa operation of the Tevatron p$\bar{p}$ colliding beam accelerator. The B**d states are fully reconstructed in decays to B(*)+ [pi]-, with B(*)+ → [gamma] J/[Psi]K+, J/[Psi] → [mu]+[mu]-, yielding 662 ± 91 events, and providing the first strong evidence for the resolution of two narrow resonances, B1 and B*2. The masses are extracted from a binned [Chi]2 fit to the invariant mass distribution, giving M(B1) = 5720.7 ± 2.4(stat.) ± 1.3(syst.) ± 0.5 (PDG) MeV/c2 and M(B*2) = 5746.9 ± 2.4(stat.) ± 1.0(syst.) ± 0.5(PDG) MeV/c2. The production rate of narrow B**d → B[pi] resonances relative to the B+ meson is determined to be [13.9 ± 1.9(stat.) ± 3.2(syst.)]%. The same B+ sample is also used to reconstruct the analogous states in the Bs0 system, in decays B**s → B(*)+ K-. A single resonance in the invariant mass distribution is found with a statistical significance of 5[sigma], interpreted as the B*s2 state. The mass is determined to be M(B*s2) = 5839.6 ± 1.1(stat.) ± 0.4(syst.) ± 0.5(PDG) MeV/c 2, and the production rate of B*s2 → BK resonances is measured to be a fraction (2.14 ± 0.43 ± 0.24)% of the corresponding rate for B+ mesons. Alternative fitting hypotheses give inconclusive evidence for the presence of the lighter Bs1 meson.
