We have measured the differential and total cross sections ofD meson production in 200 GeV π−-beryllium interactions, using a sample of 48 fully reconstructed and nearly background-freeD mesons in the decay channelsK∓π±,K∓π±π± andK∓π∓π±π±. A single electron trigger has been used to select events containing a pair of charmed particles. A vertex telescope of 6 silison microstrip detectors allowed the reconstruction of tracks of charged secondaries and the reconstruction of primary and decay vertices with high precision. The ratio of branching fractions for$\mathop {D^0 }\limits^{( - )}\to K^ \mp\pi ^ \pm$ to$\mathop {D^0 }\limits^{( - )}\to K^ \mp\pi ^ \mp\pi ^ \pm\pi ^ \pm$, and an upper limit for$D^0- \bar D^0 $ mixing are presented.

Production of anti-D0 and D- Mesons in Neutron - Carbon Interactions at 40-GeV to 70-GeV

The BIS-2 collaboration Aleev, A.N. ; Arefev, V.A. ; Balandin, V.P. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 37 (1988) 243, 1988.

Inspire Record 248611 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.9960

The production of$\bar D$ mesons in neutroncarbon interactions at 40–70 GeV/c has been investigated. The$\bar D$ mesons were detected via the hadronic decay modes$\bar D^0\to K^{* + } (892)\pi ^ -$ andD−→K*+(892)π−π−. In the kinematical regionxF>0.5 andpT<1 GeV/c the following inclusive cross sections were measured:$\sigma _{\bar D^0 }= (28 \pm 14)\mu b$ and$\sigma _{D^ -}= (28 \pm 13)\mu b$ per carbon nucleus. The invariant longitudinal momentum spectra can be described by (1−x)N with$N_{\bar D^0 }= 1.1 \pm 0.5 \pm 0.4$ and$N_{D^ -}= 0.8 \pm 0.4 \pm 0.4$ The transverse momentum spectra were parametrized by exp (−BpT2) with$B_{\bar D^0 }= (1.2_{ - 0.9}^{ + 1.1} )({{GeV} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{GeV} c}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} c})^{ - 2} $ and$B_{D^ -}= (1.8_{ - 1.0}^{ + 1.3} )({{GeV} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{GeV} c}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} c})^{ - 2} $.
