Measurement of the muonic branching fractions of the narrow upsilon resonances.

چکیده
The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu(+)mu(-) have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 fb(-1) e(+)e(-) data collected with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Upsilon(1S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.49+/-0.02+/-0.07)% is consistent with the current world average, but B(Upsilon(2S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.03+/-0.03+/-0.08)% and B(Upsilon(3S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.39+/-0.07+/-0.10)% are significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions imply a narrower total decay width for the Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) resonances and lower other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.

Branching Ratio and Form Factor Measurements of 0 Beta Decay
We present a branching ratio measurement for the beta decay of neutral Cascade hyperon, 0 ! + e e , using the KTeV detector at Fermilab. We used the principal decay mode of 0 ! 0 where ! p , as the ux normalization mode. The status of the measurement of the ratio of the axial-vector to vector coupling (g1/f1) for the Cascade beta decay will also be discussed. Furthermore, we present the prelimi...
متن کاملObservation of Upsilon(3S)-->tau+tau- and tests of lepton universality in Upsilon decays.
Using data collected with the CLEO III detector at the CESR e+e- collider, we report on a first observation of the decay Upsilon(3S)-->tau+tau-, and precisely measure the ratio of branching fractions of Upsilon(nS), n=1, 2, 3, to tau+tau- and mu+mu- final states, finding agreement with expectations from lepton universality. We derive absolute branching fractions for these decays, and also set a...
متن کاملNew Resonances and Meson Spectroscopy at BaBar and Belle
In 2003, two new resonances were discovered by the BaBar and CLEO experiments: the D∗ s0(2317) and Ds1(2460) mesons [3]. These two resonances are very narrow, and have masses well below what was predicted by the potential model. These states are very well known experimentally: masses are measured with an error below 2 MeV/c, 95% confidence level upper limits on widths are about 4 MeV ; J quantu...
متن کاملCollisional and photoinitiated reaction dynamics in the ground electronic state of Ca-HCl.
Ca+HCl(upsilon,j) reactive collisions were studied for different rovibrational states of the HCl reactant using wave-packet calculations in reactant Jacobi coordinates. A recently proposed potential-energy surface was used with a barrier of approximately 0.4 eV followed by a deep well. The possibility of an insertion mechanism due to this last well has been analyzed and it was found that once t...
متن کاملPrediction of charm-production fractions in neutrino interactions
The way a charm-quark fragments into a charmed hadron is a challenging problem both for the theoretical and the experimental particle physics. Moreover, in neutrino induced charmproduction, peculiar processes occur such as quasi-elastic and diffractive charm-production which make the results from other experiments not directly comparable. We present here a method to extract the charmed fraction...
