Abstract:

This paper reports the first measurement of the effective B →J/ψK lifetime and an updated measurement of its time-integrated branching fraction. Both measurements are performed with a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb of pp collisions, recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The results are: τ = 1.75±0.12 (stat)±0.07 (syst) ps and B(B →J/ψK ) = (1.97 ± 0.23) × 10. For the latter measurement, the uncertainty includes both statistical and systematic sources. © 2013 CERN.

Abstract:

The production of K_short mesons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 0.9 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The luminosity of the analysed sample is determined using a novel technique, involving measurements of the beam currents, sizes and positions, and is found to be 6.8 +/- 1.0 microbarn^-1. The differential prompt K_short production cross-section is measured as a function of the K_short transverse momentum and rapidity in the region 0 < pT < 1.6 GeV/c and 2.5 < y < 4.0. The data are found to be in reasonable agreement with previous measurements and generator expectations.

Abstract:

The first measurements of the coherence factors (RKππ0 and RK3π) and the average strong-phase differences (δDKππ0 and δDK3π) for D0→K-π+π0 and D0→K-π+π+π- are presented. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the unitarity triangle angle γ in B-→DK- decays, where D is a D0 or D̄0 meson decaying to the same final state. The measurements are made using quantum-correlated, fully reconstructed D0D̄0 pairs produced in e+e- collisions at the ψ(3770) resonance. The measured values are: RKππ0=0.84±0.07, δDKππ0=(227-17+14)°, RK3π=0.33-0.23+0.20, and δDK3π=(114-23+26)°. These results indicate significant coherence in the decay D0→K-π+π0, whereas lower coherence is observed in the decay D0→K-π+π+π-. The analysis also results in a small improvement in the knowledge of other D-meson parameters, in particular, the strong-phase difference for D0→K-π+, δDKπ, and the mixing parameter y. © 2009 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A search for excited quarks is performed using the full e ^± p data sample collected by the H1 experiment at HERA, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 475 pb ^{- 1}. The electroweak decays of excited quarks q ^* → q γ, q ^* → q Z and q ^* → q W with subsequent hadronic or leptonic decays of the W and Z bosons are considered. No evidence for first generation excited quark production is found. Mass dependent exclusion limits on q ^* production cross sections and on the ratio f / Λ of the coupling to the compositeness scale are derived within gauge mediated models. These limits extend the excluded region compared to previous excited quark searches. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
