Charm physics with the CHORUS experiment

High energy neutrino interactions induce charmed hadron production at the level of a few percent and therefore they constitute a powerful tool to study charm physics. The CHORUS experiment can profit of the extremely high spatial resolution of nuclear emulsions to identify and study the charm production and decay vertexes. This experiment is now analyzing the final data sample and publishing ne...

Physics of an Ultrahigh-statistics Charm Experiment

Michael D. Sokoloff University of Cincinnati Daniel M. Kaplan Illinois Institute of Technology ABSTRACT We review the physics goals of an ultrahigh-statistics charm experiment and place them in the broader context of the community’s efforts to study the Standard Model and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, and we point out some of the experimental difficulties which must be overco...

Charm fragmentation and excited charm and charm-strange mesons at ZEUS

Charm hadrons were produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA providing a means to study charm hadronisation. During first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS collaboration accumulated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Measurements of the D, D, D and Λc production a with the HERA I data were used to determine...

Open and Hidden Charm Production with the Hera-b Experiment

Measurements of the suppression of the yield per nucleon and differential distributions of J/ψ production for 920 GeV/c protons incident on heavy nuclear targets have been made with broad coverage in pT and negative coverage in xF of produced meson. Production ratios of ψ(2S) to J/ψ and χc to J/ψ have been measured with a high accuracy. The D + and D production cross sections as well as D to D ...
