Measurement of the Ξc + lifetime
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 65:3 (2002) 311021-311025
Abstract:
The Ξc+ lifetime is measured using 9.0 fb-1 of e+e- annihilation data collected on and just below the Υ(4S) resonance with the CLEO II.V detector at CESR. This is the first measurement of the Ξc+ lifetime from a collider experiment. Using an unbinned maximum likelihood fit, the Ξc+ lifetime is measured to be 503 ±47(stat) ± 18(syst) fs. The precision of this measurement is comparable to previous measurements carried out by fixed target experiments with different sources of systematic uncertainties.Search for B0→π0π0 decay

Abstract:
We have searched for the charmless hadronic decay of B0 mesons into two neutral pions. Using 9.13 fb-1 taken at the Υ(4S) with the CLEO detector, we obtain an improved upper limit for the branching fraction B(B0→π0π0)<5.7 ×10-6 at the 90% confidence level.Search for charmless B --> VV decays.

Abstract:
We have studied two-body charmless decays of the B meson into the final states rho(0)rho(0), K(*0)rho(0), K(*0)K(*0), K(*0)K(*0), K(*+)rho(0), K(*+)K(*0), and K(*+)K(*-) using only decay modes with charged daughter particles. Using 9.7x10(6) BB pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we place 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions (1.4-14.1)x10(-5), depending on final state and polarization.First observation of B̄0→ D*0π+π+π-π -decays
Physical Review D 65:1 (2002)
Abstract:
We report on the observation of B̄0→D* 0π+π+π- π-decays. The branching ratio is (0.30±0.07 ±0.06)%. Interest in this particular mode was sparked by Ligeti, Luke and Wise who propose it as a way to check the validity of factorization tests in B̄0→D*+π+π -π-π0 decays. © 2001 The American Physical Society.Measurement of exclusive B decays to final states containing a charmed baryon
