Search for lepton-flavor-violating decays of B mesons
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 65:11 (2002) 1111021-1111024
Abstract:
We have searched a sample of 9.6 million BB̄ events for the lepton-flavor-violating decays B→he±μ±, B+→h-e-e+, B+→h-e+μ+, and B+→h-μ-μ+, where h is π, K, p, and K*(892), a total of sixteen modes. We find no evidence for these decays, and place 90% confidence level upper limits on their branching fractions that range from 1.0 to 8.3×10-6.Lifetime differences, direct CP violation, and partial widths in D0 meson decays to K+K- and π+ π-
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 65:9 A (2002) 920011-920018
Abstract:
We describe several measurements using the decays D0→K+K- and π+π-. We find the ratio of partial widths, Γ(D0→K+K-)/Γ (D0→π+π-), to be 2.96±0.16±0.15, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We observe no evidence for direct CP violation, obtaining ACP(KK)=(0.0±2.2±0.8)% and ACP(ππ)=(1.9±3.2±0.8)%. In the limit of no CP violation we measure the mixing parameter yCP=-0.012±0.025±0.014 by measuring the lifetime difference between D0→K+K- or π+ π- and the CP neutral state, D0→K-π+. We see no evidence for mixing.Measurement of the masses and widths of the ∑c ++ and ∑c 0 charmed baryons
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 65:7 A (2002) 711011-711014
Abstract:
Using data recorded by the CLEO II and CLEO II.V detector configurations at CESR, we report new measurements of the masses of the ∑c++ and ∑c0 charmed baryons, and the first measurements of their intrinsic widths. We find M(∑c++)-M(Λc+) =167.4±0.1±0.2 MeV, Γ(∑c++)=2.3±0.2±0.3 MeV, and M(∑c0) -M(Λc+)=167.2±0.1±0.2 MeV, Γ(∑c0)=2.5±0.2±0.3 MeV, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.Search for CP violation in τ → Kπντ Decays
Physical Review Letters 88:11 (2002) 1118031-1118035
Abstract:
The origin and source of CP violation in fundamental fermion interactions was discussed. The CP violation in Lepton decay was analyzed in the context of a model where the CP symmetry was broken. No evidence of violation was found in lepton decays into the final state. Limits on the imaginary part of the coupling constant were provided describing a relative contribution of the CP violating processes with respect to the standard model. Systematic errors were estimated in order to estimate the limits on CP violating parameter.Search for CP violation in tau--> K(pi)nu(tau) decays.
