Threshold structure of the quasifree p + n --> d + eta reaction.

The quasifree p+n→d+η reaction cross section has been measured at the threshold using 1295 MeV protons in the CELSIUS storage ring and an internal cluster-jet deuterium target. The kinematics is chosen such that the target proton can be assumed to be a spectator. The Fermi momentum of the target neutron is used to extract the energy dependence of the cross section by reconstructing the kinematics on an event-by-event basis. The data cover excess energies from threshold to 10 MeV in the center of mass of the final dη system. Approaching the threshold the cross section is enhanced compared to what is expected from phase space. This behavior is typical for a strong final-state interaction.

Observation of Semileptonic Decays of Charmed Baryons

Vella, E. ; Trilling, G. ; Abrams, G.S. ; et al.

Direct electrons are observed in baryon events produced in e+e− annihilation at center-of-mass energies above the ΛcΛ¯c threshold. These events are attributed to charmed-baryon pair production and subsequent Λc semileptonic decay. Various semileptonic branching ratios of the Λc are determined, including B(Λc→e+X)=(4.5±1.7)%.

Low Mass Electron Pair Anomaly in 17-{GeV}/c $\pi^- P$ Collisions

Stekas, J. ; Abshire, G. ; Adams, M.R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 47 (1981) 1686-1689, 1981.
Inspire Record 172147 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20624

Inclusive e+e− production in 17-GeV/c π−p collisions has been measured. An excess of e+e− pairs over those from known sources for 0.1<~mee<~0.6 GeV and x<0.5 was found. No evidence is found for enhancements in specific final states involving electrons and photons or charged particles. The photon multiplicity associated with these pairs is measured.

Inclusive Electron Production in Multiprong Events Produced by $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation

Feller, J.M. ; Litke, A. ; Madaras, R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 40 (1978) 1677, 1978.
Inspire Record 129962 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38080

We have measured inclusive electron production in multiprong events produced by e+e− annihilation in the center-of-mass energy range 3.9-7.4 GeV. We find the electron momentum spectra are consistent with the electrons coming mainly from decays of charmed particles, with a smaller contribution from decays of the τ lepton. From our data we calculate the average branching ratio for charmed particles to decay into an electron plus additional particles to be (8.2±1.9)%.
