Production of Charmed Mesons in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation at 10.5-{GeV}

The CLEO collaboration Avery, P. ; Bebek, C. ; Berkelman, Karl ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 51 (1983) 1139, 1983.
Inspire Record 191835 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20524

A measurement is presented of the inclusive production of charged D* and neutral D mesons from nonresonant e+e− annihilation in the energy region near the ϒ(4S) resonance. The momentum distribution shows a large contribution at high momenta as expected for heavy quark production. Comparison of the spectrum with several phenomenological models is made. The relative yields of the D* and D mesons indicate that the charm cross section is dominated by the D* contribution.

The CLEO collaboration Green, J. ; Hicks, R.G. ; Sannes, F. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 51 (1983) 347, 1983.
Inspire Record 190327 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20493

The inclusive branching fraction for B-meson decay into D0 mesons and the momentum spectrum of the D0's have been measured. 0.8±0.2±0.2 D0 per B decay was found. The shape of the spectrum suggests an interesting picture of B-meson decay.

Observation of $D^*$+- and ($\bar{D}$)0 / $D^\pm$ Production in High-energy $\pi^-$ Be Interactions at the {SPS}

An experiment has been performed to search for associated hadronic production of charmed mesons, using a large-aperture forward magnetic spectrometer setup in a π − beam at the CERN SPS. A prompt electron trigger was used to select events containing a pair by charmed particles. D mesons have been identified by reconstruction of hadronic decay modes such as Kπ, Kππ. Data have been taken at 120, 175, and 200 GeV, The D D cross section measured at 175 200 GeV is σ( D D ) = (48 ± 15) μ b with a systematic uncertainty of ±50%. The energy dependence of the cross section is measured to be σ( D D ) [120 GeV )/σ( D D [175/200 GeV ] = 0.62 ± 0.34 .

Inspire Record 191536 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20523

Inclusive production of (D0, D¯0) and D± mesons have been observed in e+e− annihilation at 29 GeV. The signals correspond to R values of R(D0+D¯0)=3.25±1.2 and R(D++D−)=1.35±0.6. D*± production is also observed via the process D*+→D0π+ and its charge conjugate. The D and D* production rates are compared.

D*+- Production by e+ e- Annihilation Near 34.4-GeV Center-Of-Mass Energy

The TASSO collaboration Althoff, M. ; Braunschweig, W. ; Gather, K. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 126 (1983) 493-498, 1983.
Inspire Record 196842 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30721

D ∗± production via e + e − →D ∗± X has been measured at an average CM energy of 34.4 GeV. The D ∗± energy spectrum is hard, with a maximum near χ = 0.6. The size of the D ∗ cross section, R D ∗ = σ( e + e − → D ∗ X ) σ μμ = 2.50 ± 0.64 ± 0.88 (assuming R D ∗0 = R D ∗+ ) indicates that a large fraction of charm quark production yields D ∗ mesons. The D ∗± angular distribution exhibits a forward—backward asymmetry, A = −0.28 ± 0.13. This is consistent with that expected in the standard theory for weak neutral currents and leads to | g A c | = 0.89 ± 0.44 for the axial vector coupling of the charm quark.

Charm $D$ Meson Production in 360-{GeV} $\pi^- p$ Interactions: Evidence for Leading Quarks

The LEBC-EHS collaboration Aguilar-Benitez, M. ; Allison, W.W.M. ; Bagnaia, P. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 123 (1983) 98-102, 1983.
Inspire Record 182456 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30715

Charm D-meson production in 360 GeV π − p interactions has been studied using the high-resolution hydrogen bubble chamber LEBC and the European Hybrid Spectrometer. The data show evidence for leading quark effects both in the number of D-meson types and in the Feynman x distributions. The production cross section is of the form d 2 δ d x d p T 2 ∞(1-x) n exp (-ap T 2 ) with n = 2.8±0.8 and a = 1.1±0.3 (GeV/ c ) −2 . The x distribution is, however, compatible with the presence of both central ( n = 6) and leading (n = 1) D / D production. The fraction of D-messons in the leading component is estimated to be ≈30%. The rapidity gap between members of reconstructed charm pairs is small compared to the available rapidity range. The inclusive cross section for single D-messons in the forward direction is: δ(D/ D )=(40 8 +15 )μ b ( for x>0) .

Phys.Lett.B 123 (1983) 103-107, 1983.
Inspire Record 182457 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30746

Charm D-meson production in 360 GeV pp interactions has been studied using the high-resolution hydrogen bubble chamber LEBC and the European Hybrid Spectrometer. D-mesons are produced with a differential cross section of the form d 2 σ d x d p T 2 δ(1-x) n exp (-ap T 2 ) , with n =1.8± 0.8 and a =1.1±0.03 GeV/ c −2 for the Feynman x and Transverse momentum p T behaviour. The inclusive partle prticle crossssection for D and D̄;measured to be: σ(D/ D ̄ ) = (56 −12 25 μ b (for all x ). The Λ c D ̄ cross section can be estimated to be ≈20 μ b. No strong correlation is observed between DD̄ pairs. The results are compared with results from a study of D-meaon production in 360 GeV/ c π − p interactions also using LEBC-EHS.

Inclusive Charged $D^*$ Production in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilations at $W=10$.4-{GeV}

The CLEO collaboration Bebek, C. ; Hassard, J. ; Hempstead, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 49 (1982) 610, 1982.
Inspire Record 178490 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20565

A measurement is presented of inclusive charged D*(2010) production from nonresonant e+e− annihilation in the center-of-mass energy (W) range 10.2 GeV<W<10.6 GeV. Charged D* mesons are identified by the decays D*+→D0π+→K−π+π+ and the charge conjugate mode. It is found that 40 ± 7 ± 13% of the charm quarks from the process e+e−→cc¯ result in D* mesons with z>0.7 (z=2EW, where E is the D* energy).
