Abstract:
Using a sample of 3.3×106 Y(4S)→BB̄ events collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we measure B(B→ρlv), |V2<7 GeV2/c4)=(7.6±3.0-1.2 +0.9±3.0)×10-2 ns-1, ΔΓ(72<14 GeV2/c4)=(4.8 ±2.9-0.8 +0.7±0.7)×10-2 ns-1, and ΔΓ(142<21 GeV2/c4)=(7.1±2.1-1.1 +0.9±0.6)×10-2 ns-1. Here, l=e or μ, but not both, and the errors are statistical, systematic, and theoretical. The method is sensitive primarily to B→ρlv decays with leptons in the energy range above 2.3 GeV. Averaging with the previously published CLEO results for B→ρlv, we obtain B(B0→ρ-l+v)=(2.57±0.29-0.46 +0.33±0.41)×10-4 and |Vub |=(3.25 ±0.14-0.29 +0.21±0.55)×10-3. ©2000 The American Physical Society.
Performance of the CLEO III LiF-TEA ring imaging Cherenkov detector in a high-energy muon beam
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment 441:3 (2000) 374-392
Abstract:
The CLEO III Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector uses LiF radiators to generate Cherenkov photons which are then detected by proportional wire chambers using a mixture of CH4 and TEA gases. The first two photon detector modules which were constructed, were taken to the Fermilab and tested in a beam dump that provided high-momentum muons. We report on results using both plane and 'sawtooth'-shaped radiators. Specifically, we discuss the number of photoelectrons observed per ring and the angular resolution. The particle separation ability is shown to be sufficient for the physics of CLEO III.Structure functions in the decay τ∓→π∓π0π0ν τ
