چکیده
Using 0.8 x 10(6) D+ D- pairs collected with the CLEO-c detector at the psi(3770) resonance, we have searched for flavor-changing neutral current and lepton-number-violating decays of D+ mesons to final states with dielectrons. We find no indication of either, obtaining 90% confidence level upper limits of B(D+ --> pi+ e+ e-) < 7.4 x 10(-6), B(D+ --> pi- e+ d+) < 3.6 x 10(-6), B(D+ --> K+ e+ e-) < 6.2 x 10(-6), and B(D+ --> K- e+ e+) < 4.5 x 10(-6).

Using a high statistics sample of photo-produced charm particles from the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab, we report results of a search for eight rare and StandardModel-forbidden decays: D+, D+ s → h ±μ∓μ+ (with h = π,K). Improvement over previous results by a factor of 1.7–14 is realized. Our branching ratio upper limit D+ → π+μ−μ+ of 8.8× 10−6 at the 90% C.L. is below the current MSSM R-Parity ...

We report the results of a search for flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-flavor violating, and lepton-number violating decays of D+, D+ s , and D 0 mesons (and their antiparticles) into modes containing muons and electrons. Using data from Fermilab charm hadroproduction experiment E791, we examine the πll and Kll decay modes of D+ and D+ s and the l +l− decay modes of D0. No evidence for a...

We report the results of a blind search for flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC), lepton-flavor violating, and lepton-number violating decays of D, D s , and D 0 mesons (and their antiparticles) into 2–, 3–, and 4–body states including a lepton pair. Such decays may involve Flavor-Changing Neutral Currents, Leptoquarks, Horizontal Gauge Bosons, or Majorana Neutrinos. No evidence for any of th...
متن کاملSearch for rare and forbidden decays of charm and charmed-strange mesons to final states h(+/-)e(-/+)e(+)
We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D+ and D+ s mesons to final states of the form h ±e∓e+, where h is either π or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 818 pb−1 at the center-of-mass energy ECM = 3.774 GeV containing 2.4×10 6 D+D− pairs and 602 pb−1 at ECM = 4.170 GeV c...

HERA-B is a hadroproduction experiment located at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. The experiment produces B mesons and baryons by inserting thin wire targets into the halo of the proton beam circulating in the HERA storage ring. The B decays are studied to search for evidence of CP violation and constrain the angle β and possibly γ and α of the CKM unitarity triangle. The experiment also produces B s...
