Charm Hadron Spectroscopy with Zeus
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutral orbitally excited P-wave charm mesons have been reconstructed in the D * ± π ∓ final state and the charm-strange meson D ± s1 (2536) was found in the D * ± K 0 s final state. A search for radially excited charm mesons in the D * ± π + π − final state has also been performed. A search for a charm pentaquark state near 3.1 GeV was made in the decay mode D * ± p ∓. Using more than 40,000 reconstructed D * mesons, no resonance structure was observed.

Charm fragmentation and excited charm and charm-strange mesons at ZEUS
Charm hadrons were produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA providing a means to study charm hadronisation. During first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS collaboration accumulated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Measurements of the D, D, D and Λc production a with the HERA I data were used to determine...
متن کاملStrangeness Production and Hadron Spectroscopy at HERA
An overview of the recent results on strangeness production and spectroscopy from the electron-proton collider experiments H1 and ZEUS at HERA is presented. Production of particles with light and strange quarks is discussed and compared with both theoretical predictions and with data from ee experiments. Measurements in the charm sector cover studies of the radially and orbitally excited charm ...
متن کاملCharm Hadronisation in Γp Collisions with Zeus at Hera
The measured D, D, D, D s and Λ c photoproduction cross sections have been used to determine charm fragmentation ratios and fractions of c quarks hadronising as a particular charm hadron, f(c → D,Λc). Events with a D meson produced in association with an energetic jet have been used to measure the charm fragmentation function. The results are compared with different models and with previous mea...
متن کاملFragmentation and Spectroscopy of Hadrons in Ep Collisions
Recent results on charm fragmentation and hadron spectroscopy in e/ep collisions at HERA with the ZEUS and H1 detectors are presented. The measured fragmentation ratios and fragmentation fractions are in agreement with those measured in ee, thus supporting the assumption of universality. Measurements of the inclusive photoproduction of the neutral mesons η, ρ, f0(980) and f2(1270) are also pres...

Light and charmed mesons and baryons are produced copiously in ep collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 318GeV at HERA. During the first phase of the HERA operation (1992-2000), the ZEUS Collaboration accumulated a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ∼ 120 pb. Results on pentaquark searches, deuteron and antideuteron production and charmed-meson spectroscopy, obtained ...
