Abstract:

Dijet production in PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is studied with the CMS detector at the LHC. A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 150 μb -1 is analyzed. Jets are reconstructed using combined information from tracking and calorimetry, using the anti-k T algorithm with R=0.3. The dijet momentum balance and angular correlations are studied as a function of collision centrality and leading jet transverse momentum. For the most peripheral PbPb collisions, good agreement of the dijet momentum balance distributions with pp data and reference calculations at the same collision energy is found, while more central collisions show a strong imbalance of leading and subleading jet transverse momenta attributed to the jet-quenching effect. The dijets in central collisions are found to be more unbalanced than the reference, for leading jet transverse momenta up to the highest values studied. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

The first measurements of the coherence factor RKS0Kπ and the average strong-phase difference δDKS0Kπ in D0→KS0K ∓π± decays are reported. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the unitary triangle angle γ in B-→D∼K- decays, where D∼ is either a D0 or a D̄0 meson decaying to the same final state, and also in studies of charm mixing. The measurements of the coherence factor and strong-phase difference are made using quantum-correlated, fully reconstructed D0D̄0 pairs produced in e+e- collisions at the ψ(3770) resonance. The measured values are RKS0Kπ=0. 73±0.08 and δDKS0Kπ=(8.3±15.2)° for an unrestricted kinematic region and RK*K=1.00±0.16 and δDK *K=(26.5±15.8)° for a region where the combined KS0π± invariant mass is within 100MeV/c2 of the K *(892)± mass. These results indicate a significant level of coherence in the decay. In addition, isobar models are presented for the two decays, which show the dominance of the K *(892)± resonance. The branching ratio B(D0→KS0K+π-)/B(D0→KS0K -π+) is determined to be 0.592±0.044(stat) ±0.018(syst), which is more precise than previous measurements. © 2012 American Physical Society.
