Observation of an excited charmed baryon decaying into Xi(c)0 pi+

The CLEO collaboration Gibbons, L. ; Johnson, S.D. ; Kwon, Y. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 77 (1996) 810-813, 1996.
Inspire Record 416471 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47237

Using data recorded by the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we report the first observation of an excited charmed baryon decaying into Ξc0π+. The state has mass difference M(Ξc0π+)−M(Ξc0) of 174.3±0.5±1.0MeV/c2, and a width of <3.1MeV/c2 (90% confidence level limit). We identify the new state as the Ξc*+, the isospin partner of the recently discovered Ξc*0.

Measurements of B ---> D(s)+ X decays

The CLEO collaboration Gibaut, D. ; Kinoshita, K. ; Pomianowski, P. ; et al.

This paper describes new measurements from CLEO of the inclusive B→Ds+X branching fraction as well as the B+→Ds(*)+D¯(*)0 and B0→Ds(*)+D(*)− branching fractions. The inclusive branching fraction is B(B→Ds+X)=(12.11±0.39±0.88±1.38)% where the first error is statistical, the second is the systematic error, and the third is the error due to the uncertainty in the Ds+→φπ+ branching fraction. The branching fractions for the B→Ds(*)+D¯(*) modes are found to be between 0.9% and 2.4% and are significantly more precise than previous measurements. The sum of the B→Ds(*)+D¯(*) branching fractions is consistent with the results of fits to the inclusive Ds+ momentum spectrum. Factorization is used to arrive at a value for fDs, the Ds+ decay constant. © 1996 The American Physical Society.

FORMFACTOR(NAME=FP,C=DECAY CONSTANT) is pseudoscalar meson decay constant. Three different methods are used: 1) C=MUNU: D/S+ --> MU+ NUMU, 2) C = ENU: B --> D/S+ D*BAR / B --> D*BAR E+ NU, and 3) C = PI : B --> D/S+ D*BAR / B0 - -> PI+(RHO+) D*BAR-. The F(D/S) is evaluated from B decay assuming the factorization.

Observation of new decay modes of the charmed strange baryon Xi(c)+

The CLEO collaboration Edwards, K.W. ; McLean, K.W. ; Ogg, M. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 373 (1996) 261-266, 1996.
Inspire Record 404590 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47254

Using the CLEO II detector operating at the e + e − Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we present evidence for new decay modes of the Ξ c + into Ξ 0 π + , Ξ 0 π + π 0 , and Ξ 0 π + π − π + . The branching ratios of these decay modes, relative to Ξ c + → Ξ − π + π + , have been measured to be 0.55±0.13±0.09, 2.34±0.57±0.37, and 1.74±0.42±0.27, respectively.

Observation of the Cabibbo suppressed charmed baryon decay lambda(c)+ ---> p phi

The CLEO collaboration Alexander, J.P. ; Bebek, C. ; Berger, B.E. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 53 (1996) 1013-1017, 1996.
Inspire Record 397665 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47234

We report the observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays \lcpkk\ and \lcpphi\ using data collected with the CLEO II detector at CESR. The latter mode, observed for the first time with significant statistics, is of interest as a test of color-suppression in charm decays. We have determined the branching ratios for these modes relative to \lcpkpi\ and compared our results with theory.

Observation of a narrow state decaying into Xi(c)+ pi-

The CLEO collaboration Avery, P. ; Freyberger, A. ; Lingel, K. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 75 (1995) 4364-4368, 1995.
Inspire Record 397770 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47270

Using data recorded by the CLEO-II detector at CESR, we report the first observation of a narrow state decaying into $\Xi_c~+\pi~-$. The state has mass difference $M(\Xi_c~+\pi~-)-M(\Xi_c~+)$ of $178.2\pm0.5\pm1.0$ $\rm{MeV/c~2}$, and a width of $<5.5$ $\rm{MeV/c~2}$ (90\% confidence level limit). The most likely explanation of this new state is that it is the $J=\32$ spin excitation of the $\Xi_c~0$ charmed baryon.

Observation of $e^+ e^- \to D(s$)+- $D^*(s$)-+ at $\sqrt{s}=4$.14-{GeV}

Inspire Record 244856 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20170

We present evidence for the exclusive reaction e+e−→Ds±Ds*∓, observed with the Mark III detector at the SLAC storage ring SPEAR. The Ds± is reconstructed in the φπ± decay mode, while the Ds*∓ is detected as a narrow peak in the recoil-mass distribution. The mass of the Ds* is found to be 2109.3±2.1±3.1 MeV/c2, yielding a Ds*−Ds mass difference of 137.9±2.1±4.3 MeV/c2. The width of the Ds* is <22 MeV/c2 at the 90%-confidence level. The observed signal corresponds to σ(e+e−→Ds+Ds*−+Ds−Ds*+)B(Ds+→φπ+)=30±6±11 pb at s=4.14 GeV.

Using 2674 nb−1 of data taken at s from 5.00 to 7.25 GeV with a trigger sensitive to decays of lower-mass particles produced in two-photon collisions, we have observed 56±12 events consistent with the reaction e+e−→e+e−η, η→γγ. Background has been subtracted using separated-beam data. We obtain Γγγ(η)=0.56±0.16 keV and the pseudoscalar-nonet mixing angle θP=−17.6°±3.6°.

Production of $\pi^0 \pi^0$ and $\pi^0 \eta$ in Photon - Photon Collisions

Edwards, C. ; Partridge, Richard ; Peck, C. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 110 (1982) 82-86, 1982.
Inspire Record 168793 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30959

We investigate the four-photon final state produced in γγ colissions. In the π 0 π 0 channel we observe f(1270) production with predominantly helicity 2 and measure a partial width Γ γγ 2.9 +0.6 −0.4 ± keV (independent of assumptions on the helicity). We observe A 2 (1310) production in the π 0 η channel and find a partial width Γ γγ = 0.77 ± 0.18 ± 0.27 KeV (assuming helicity 2). We give an upper limit for f ≈ ηη .
