Search for CP violation in the Dalitz-plot analysis of D±→K+K- π±
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 78:7 (2008)
Abstract:
We report on a search for CP asymmetry in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D+→K+K-π+ using a data sample of 818pb-1 accumulated with the CLEO-c detector on the ψ(3770) resonance. A Dalitz-plot analysis is used to determine the amplitudes of the intermediate states. We find no evidence for CP violation either in specific two-body amplitudes or integrated over the entire phase space. The CP asymmetry in the latter case is measured to be (-0.03±0.84±0.29)%. © 2008 The American Physical Society.Observation of χcJ radiative decays to light vector mesons

Abstract:
Using a total of 2.74×107 decays of the ψ(2S) collected with the CLEO-c detector, we present a study of χcJ→γV, where V=ρ0, ω, □. The transitions χc1→γρ0 and χc1→γω are observed with B(χc1→γρ0)=(2. 43±0.19±0.22)×10-4 and B(χc1→γω)=(8. 3±1.5±1.2)×10-5. In the χc1→γρ0 transition, the final state meson is dominantly longitudinally polarized. Upper limits on the branching fractions of other χcJ states to light vector mesons are presented. © 2008 The American Physical Society.Measurement of Resonance Parameters of Orbitally Excited Narrow B^0 Mesons

Measurement of the inclusive jet cross section at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider using a cone-based jet algorithm
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 78:5 (2008)
Abstract:
We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV based on data collected by the CDF II detector with an integrated luminosity of 1.13fb-1. The measurement was made using the cone-based midpoint jet clustering algorithm in the rapidity region of |y|<2.1. The results are consistent with next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD predictions based on recent parton distribution functions (PDFs), and are expected to provide increased precision in PDFs at high parton momentum fraction x. The results are also compared to the recent inclusive jet cross section measurement using the kT jet clustering algorithm, and we find that the ratio of the cross sections measured with the two algorithms is in agreement with theoretical expectations over a large range of jet transverse momentum and rapidity. © 2008 The American Physical Society.Search for Maximal Flavor Violating Scalars in Same-Charge Lepton Pairs in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV
