Measurement of the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay D 0 → K + π − and a search for charm mixing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an analysis of the decayD0→K+π− based on FOCUS data. From a sample of 234 signal events, we find a branching ratio of Γ(D →Kπ) Γ(D0→K−π+) = (0.429 − 0.061 ± 0.027)% under the assumptions of no mixing and no CP violation. Allowing for CP violation, we find a branching ratio of (0.435 0.063 − 0.061 ± 0.028)% and a CP asymmetry of 0.178 0.144 − 0.141 ± 0.041. The branching ratio for the case of mixing with no CP violation is (0.381 0.167 − 0.163 ± 0.092)%. We also present limits on charm mixing.

Recent Charm Results from Cleo
We describe two recent results using data collected with the CLEO detector at the CESR e + e − collider at energies near the Υ(4S). The first is a Dalitz plot analysis of the decay D 0 → K 0 S π + π −. We observe a rich structure including the decay D 0 → K * + π − which may be produced by D 0 − D 0 mixing or doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays. We also search for D 0 − D 0 mixing in the decay D 0...
متن کاملResults and Perspectives in Particle Physics,
Recent measurements in the charm sector at BABAR are reviewed. The scope of the presentation includes the observation of two new narrow mesons in the D + s π 0 and D + s π 0 γ final states as well as the measurement of D 0-D 0 mixing parameters by means of two methods: using the doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed D 0 decay to K + π − and using the ratios of lifetimes extracted from samples of D 0 mesons...
متن کاملOf D - Meson Dalitz Plot Analyses
The formalism of Dalitz-Plot analysis is reviewed in the preceding note. Recent studies of multi-body decays of charm mesons probe a variety of physics including γ/φ 3 , D 0 –D 0 mixing, searches for CP violation, doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays, and properties of S-wave ππ, Kπ, and KK resonances. In the following, we discuss: (1) D 0 → K 0 S π + π − ; (2) doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays; and...

The formalism of Dalitz-Plot analysis is reviewed in the preceeding note. Table 1 lists reported analyses of D mesons. In the following, we discuss a number of subjects of current interest: (1) D0 → K0 Sππ; (2) D → πππ: a σ(500) or f0(600); (3) D+ → K−π+π+: a κ(800)? (4) the f0(980), f0(1370) and f0(1500); (5) doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays; and (6) CP violation. D0 → K0 Sππ: Several experime...
