New Results on Cleo's Heavy Quarks | Bottom and Charm

چکیده

While the top quark is con ned to virtual reality for CLEO, the increased luminosity of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) and the improved photon detection capabilities of the CLEO II detector have allowed for a rich program in the physics of CLEO's \heavy" quarks | bottom and charm. I will describe new results in the B meson sector including the rst observation of exclusive b! u` decays, upper limits on gluonic penguin decay rates, and precise measurements of semileptonic and hadronic b! c branching fractions. The charmed hadron results that are discussed include the observation of isospin violation in D + s decays, an update on measurements of the D + s decay constant, and the observation of a new excited c charmed baryon. These measurements have had a large impact on our understanding of heavy quark physics.

Summary of Experimental Results: Photons, Leptons and Heavy Quarks

This is a summary of experimental results on photons, leptons, and heavy quarks presented at Quark Matter 2008. A first measurement of the bottom to charm contribution to the lepton spectrum has given experimental indication for the suppression of charm and bottom. Excess dileptons have been observed and studied by both NA60 and PHENIX, which may arise from the early production of thermal dilep...

Production of Charm and Bottom Quarks in P + P Collisions at 200gev

The measurement of single electrons from semi-leptonic decay of heavy flavor in p + p collisions at √ s=200 GeV has been carried out with the PHENIX detector in the RHIC Year2005 and Year-2006 run. Measured single electrons include contribution from both charm and bottom. This measurement provides a good test of the perturbative QCD. The separate measurement of pT distribution about single elec...

Distributions of Leptons in Decays of Polarised Heavy Quarks

Analytic formulae are given for QCD corrections to the lepton spectra in decays of polarised up and down type heavy quarks. These formulae are much simpler than the published ones for the corrections to the spectra of charged leptons originating from the decays of unpolarised quarks and polarised up type quarks. Distributions of leptons in semileptonic Λc and Λb decays can be used as spin analy...

Comment on "New Limits on Intrinsic Charm in the Nucleon from Global Analysis of Parton Distributions".

Intrinsic heavy quarks in hadrons emerge from the non-perturbative structure of a hadron bound state [1] and are a rigorous prediction of QCD [2, 3]. Lattice QCD calculations indicate significant intrinsic charm and strangeness probabilities [4, 5]. Since the light-front momentum distribution of the Fock states is maximal at equal rapidity, intrinsic heavy quarks carry significant fractions of ...

Effect of Shadowing on Charm and Bottom Production at RHIC and LHC

We study the influence of nuclear shadowing on the production of heavy quark/anti-quark pair at LHC and RHIC energies. While we do not find any qualitative difference in the production of heavy quarks at RHIC and LHC, a significant reduction in the production cross section of charm and bottom quarks is apparent at high energies. The occurence of bound states such as J/Ψ is suppressed by this re...
