Abstract:

Using a 13.7 fb-1 sample of continuum two-jet e +e- → qq̄ events collected with the CLEO detector, we have searched for correlations between Λ and Λ̄ particles, specifically in cases where the opening angle between the two particles is large and each has momentum > 1 GeV/c. Such correlations may indicate the presence of baryon number conservation at the primary quark level. A previous CLEO study of ΛcΛc correlations indicated direct, associated production of primary charmed baryons Λc: e+e- → cc̄ → ΛcΛ̄c. That effect was not observed in Monte Carlo simulations. Our current search for similar direct, associated production of Λ baryons at the primary quark level (e+e - → ss̄ → ΛΛ̄, e.g.) qualitatively indicates a similar effect, although it relies on a Monte Carlo dependent subtraction of background ΛΛ̄ production (based on the default JETSET 7.4 event generator). © 2002 The American Physical Society.

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.

Abstract:

We present new measurements of branching fractions for the color-favored decays B+ → D0π- and B̄0 → D+π-. Using 9.67×106 BB̄ pairs collected with the CLEO detector, we obtain the branching fractions Β(B- → D0π - = (49.7±1.2±2.9±2.2)×104 and Β(B̄0 → D+π-) = (26.8±1.2±2.4±1.2)×10-4. The first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the experimental uncertainty on the production ratio of charged and neutral B mesons in Y(4S) decays. These results, together with the current world average for the color-suppressed branching fraction Β(B̄+ → D 0π0), are used to determine the cosine of the strong phase difference δI between the I = 1/2 and I=3/2 isospin amplitudes. We find cos δI = 0.863 -0.023-0.035-0.030+0.024+0.036+0.038, and obtain a 90% confidence interval of 16.5° < δI < 38.1°. This nonzero value of δI suggests the presence of final state interactions in the D π system. © 2002 The American Physical Society.
