Hidden and open charm at Belle (and elsewhere)
نویسنده
چکیده
There have been great advances in charm physics at the B-factories in recent years, including the observation of D-D 0 mixing and the discovery of many new hidden-charm states, some of them presumably exotic in structure. This talk reviews some of the recent Belle results, with emphasis on the hidden-charm sector. Evidence for two new charged states is presented for the first time at this conference.

Decays to Open and Hidden Charm at Belle
The recent Belle collaboration measurements of B decays to open and hidden charm are discussed. Color-suppressed decay branching fractions are measured with an improved accuracy. The branching fractions of the B̄0 → D s K − and B̄0 → D− s π + decays, measured with improved accuracy, and B̄0 → D sJ K and B̄0 → D− sJ π+ decays, measured for the first time, are compared. The two-body invariant masses ...
متن کاملOn the hidden charm state at 3872 MeV
We discuss some puzzling aspects of the narrow hidden charm resonance that was recently discovered by the Belle Collaboration at mass 3872 MeV. In order to determine its quantum numbers, a crucial piece of information is the spin of the dipion in the decay final state ππJ/ψ. We give the angular distributions and correlations of the final particles in the decay which will provide this informatio...
متن کاملAxial Resonances in the Open and Hidden Charm Sectors
A SU(4) flavor symmetrical Lagrangian is constructed for the interaction of the pseudo-scalar mesons with the vector mesons. SU(4) symmetry is broken to SU(3) by suppression of terms in the Lagrangian where the interaction should be driven by charmed mesons. Chiral symmetry can be restored by setting this new SU(4) symmetry breaking parameters to zero. Unitarization in coupled channels leads to...
متن کاملStatistical Practice at the Belle Experiment, and Some Questions
The Belle collaboration operates a general-purpose detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e− collider, performing a wide range of measurements in beauty, charm, tau and 2-photon physics. In this paper, the treatment of statistical problems in past and present Belle measurements is reviewed. Some open questions, such as the preferred method for quoting rare decay results, and the statistical t...
متن کاملCP violation in B decays to charm and charmonium at Belle
We present the study of CP violation in charm and charmonium decays, using a data sample corresponding to 657 × 10 BB events collected with the Belle detector at the Υ(4S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy ee collider. We report measurements of the polarization fraction and time-dependent CP -violation parameters of the decay B → DD and of the branching fraction and charge asymmetry in th...
