Abstract:

The first flavor-tagged amplitude analysis of the decay D0 to the self-conjugate final state K +K -π +π - is presented. Approximately 3000 signal decays are selected from data acquired by the CLEO II.V, CLEO III, and CLEO-c detectors. The three most significant amplitudes, which contribute to the model that best fits the data, are ρ0, K 1(1270) ±K, and nonresonant K +K -π +π -. Separate amplitude analyses of D0 and D ̄0 candidates indicate no CP violation among the amplitudes at the level of 5% to 30% depending on the mode. In addition, the sensitivity to the CP-violating parameter γ/ 3 from a sample of 2000 B +→D0(K +K -π +π -)K + decays, where D is a D0 or D ̄0, collected at LHCb or a future flavor facility, is estimated to be (11.3±0.3)° using the favored model. © 2012 American Physical Society.

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.
