Abstract:

Using Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) data collected with the CLEO III detector we have searched for decays of χbJ to final states with open charm. We fully reconstruct D0 mesons with pD0>2.5GeV/c in three decay modes (K-π+, K-π+π0, and K-π-π+π+) in coincidence with radiative transition photons that tag the production of one of the χbJ(nP) states. Significant signals are obtained for the two J=1 states. Recent nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) calculations of χbJ(nP)→cc̄X depend on one nonperturbative parameter per χbJ triplet. The extrapolation from the observed D0X rate over a limited momentum range to a full cc̄X rate also depends on these same parameters. Using our data to fit for these parameters, we extract results which agree well with NRQCD predictions, confirming the expectation that charm production is largest for the J=1 states. In particular, for J=1, our results are consistent with cc̄g accounting for about one-quarter of all hadronic decays. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

In this Letter, we describe a search for lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the bottomonium system. We search for leptonic decays Υ(nS)→μτ (n=1, 2, and 3) using the data collected with the CLEO III detector. We identify the τ lepton using its leptonic decay ντν̄ee and utilize multidimensional likelihood fitting with probability density function shapes measured from independent data samples. We report our estimates of 95% C.L. upper limits on LFV branching fractions of Υ mesons. We interpret our results in terms of the exclusion plot for the energy scale of a hypothetical new interaction versus its effective LFV coupling in the framework of effective field theory. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We study exclusive χc0,1,2 decays to four-hadron final states involving two charged and two neutral hadrons: π+π-π0π0, K+K-π0π0, pp̄π0π0, K+K-ηπ0, and K± n K0 n 0. The χc states are produced in radiative decays of 3.08×106 ψ(2S) resonance decays and observed in the CLEO detector. We also measure the largest substructure contributions to the modes π+π-π0π0 and K± K0π0. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Analyzing Y(nS) decays acquired with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider, we measure for the first time the product branching fractions B[Y(nS)→YX bJ((n-1)P)]B[X bJ(n-1)P)→Xi] for n=2 and 3, where Xi denotes, for each i, one of the 14 exclusive light-hadron final states for which we observe significant signals in both X bJ(1P) and X bJ(2P) decays. We also determine upper limits for the electric dipole (E1) transitions Y(3S)→YX bJ(1P). © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present measurements of the forward-backward charge asymmetry in top pair production using 1.9fb-1 of pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab II. Correcting for acceptance and measurement dilutions we obtain parton-level asymmetries of AFBpp̄=0.17±0.08 in the pp̄ frame and AFBtt̄=0.24±0.14 in the tt̄ frame. The values are consistent with the standard model expectation and disfavor exotic production mechanisms with significant negative values. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
