Abstract:

A study of charm fragmentation into Ds*⁺ and Ds⁺ in e⁺e^- annihilations at √s=10.5 GeV is presented. This study using 4.72±0.05 fb^-1 of CLEO II data reports measurements of the cross sections σ(Ds*⁺) and σ(Ds⁺) in momentum regions above x=0.44, where x is the Ds momentum divided by the maximum kinematically allowed Ds momentum. The Ds vector to vector plus pseudoscalar production ratio is measured to be PV(x(Ds⁺)>0.44)=0.44±0.04. ©2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Using a sample of 4.7 fb^-1 integrated luminosity accumulated with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we investigate the mass spectrum and resonant structure in τ^- →Κ^-π⁺π^-ντ decays. We measure the relative fractions of Κ1(1270) and Κ1(1400) resonances in these decays, as well as the Κ1 masses and widths. Our fitted Κ1 resonances are somewhat broader than previous hadroproduction measurements, and in agreement with recent CERN LEP results from tau decay. The larger central value of our measured width 91̽��s models which attribute the small τ^-→Κ^-π⁺π ^-ντ branching fraction to larger Κ1 widths than are presently tabulated. We also determine the Κa-Κb mixing angle θΚ. ©2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We describe a measurement of B0 - B̄0 mixing parameters exploiting a method of partial reconstruction of the decay chains B̄ → D(* ±)π(±) and B̄ → D(* ±) ρ (±). Using 9.6 x 106BB̄ pairs collected at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we find χ(d) = 0.198 ± 0.013 ± 0.014, |y(d)| < 0.40 at 95% confidence level, and |(R) e(ε(B)| < 0.034 at 95% confidence level.

Abstract:

We present a study of three B⁰ decay modes useful for time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements. From a sample of 9.7×10⁶ BB̄ meson pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we have reconstructed B⁰ →J/ψ��S⁰, B⁰→χclKS⁰, and B⁰→J/ψπ⁰ decays. The latter two decay modes have been observed for the first time. We describe a KS⁰→϶�⁰π⁰ detection technique and its application to the reconstruction of the decay B⁰ →J/ψ��S⁰. Combining the results obtained using KS⁰→϶�⁺π^- and KS⁰→϶�⁰π⁰ decays, we determine B(B⁰ →J/ψ��⁰)=(9.5±0.8±0.6)×10^-4, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. We also obtain B(B⁰→χclK⁰)=(3.9-1.3 ^+1.9±0.4)×10^-4 and B(B⁰→J/ψπ⁰)=(2.5-0.9 ^+1.1±0.2)×10^-5. ©2000 The American Physical Society.
