The CLEO II detector is used to search for the production of χc2 states in two-photon interactions. We use the signature χc2→γJ/ψ→γl+l− with l=e,μ. Using 1.49 fb−1 of data taken with beam energies near 5.29 GeV, the two-photon width of the χc2 is determined to be Γ(χc2→γγ)=1.08±0.30(stat)±0.26(syst) keV, in agreement with predictions from perturbative QCD.
Results below were obtained usign J/psi from-factors in the two photon propogators, and assumes that only transversely polarized photons are significant inthe production of the CHI/C2(1P) state.

Using the CLEO-II detector at the CESR $e~+e~-$ storage ring running at the center-of-mass energy around 10.6 GeV, we have studied exclusive production of charmonium states in two-photon collisions. Employing a dataset comprising 3.0 ${\rm fb}~{-1}$ we have searched for decays of the $\eta_c$, $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ mesons resulting in four charged hadrons. We report on the measurements of the cross sections and two-photon widths of these charmonium states.
The first two errors quoted are statistical and systematic,respectively. The third one arises from the uncertainties in the branching ratios of charmed mesons.
Charged hadronic four-body decays of D 0 mesons have been studied in the E687 photoproduction experiment at Fermilab. Branching ratios relative to the D 0 → K − π + π + π − decay mode for the Cabibbo-suppressed decays D 0 → π − π + π − π + , D 0 → K − K + π − π + have been measured and the first evidence of the D 0 → K − K + K − π + decay mode is reported. An analysis of the D 0 → K − K + π − π + resonance structure is also presented.

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.

The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) experiment has observed purely leptonic decays of the Ds meson in the reaction e+e−→Ds+Ds− at a c.m. energy of 4.03 GeV. Three events are observed in which one Ds decays hadronically to φπ, K¯*0K, or K¯0K, and the other decays leptonically to μνμ or τντ. With the assumption of μ−τ universality, values of the branching fraction, B(Ds→μνμ)=(1.5−0.6−0.2+1.3+0.3)%, and the Ds pseudoscalar decay constant, fDs=(4.3−1.3−0.4+1.5+0.4)×102 MeV, are obtained.

A preliminary analysis of exclusive $\btou$ decays to the final states $\pi~\pm\ell\nu$, $\pi~0\ell\nu$, $\rho~\pm\ell\nu$, $\rho~0\ell\nu$\ and $\omega\ell\nu$ based on $2.2\e{6}$ $\bbar$ decays collected at CLEO is presented. We have measured the first exclusive $\btou$ branching fraction $\bbpi=[1.19\pm0.41\pm0.21\pm0.19]\e{-4}$ ($[1.70\pm0.51\pm0.31\pm0.27]\e{-4}$), with the ISGW (WSB) model used for efficiency determination. A 90\% C.L. upper limit on $\bbrho$ similar to the previous CLEO limit is obtained. The ratio $\gamrho/\gampi<3.4$ at the 90\% confidence level for both the ISGW and WSB models. This ratio provides some discrimination between form factor models.

The orthopositronium decay rate is measured with an entirely new method, in which the pickoff annihilation rate is directly measured as a function of time with a high-resolution germanium detector. The decay rate can be determined without the ambiguities of the thermalization nor of the extrapolation, which might have been sources of the main systematic errors in all the previous experiments. Two independent measurements are carried out with two different types of SiO 2 powder, resulting in decay rate values consistent with each other. The combined result is λ 0 = 7.0398 ± 0.0025 (stat.) ± 0.0015 (sys.) μs −1 , which is consistent with the QED prediction, and differs by 2.9–4.1Φ from three recent measurements.

Narrow states observable through the emission of monoenergetic charged pions have been searched for in p p annihilation at rest in a gaseous hydrogen target where annihilation from atomic angular momentum L = 1 states dominates. No structure is observed. The 5σ upper limit for the production of narrow states in the mass range 1100–1670 MeV is 2 × 10 −3 of all annihilations.
X means a narrow state.
We have studied hadronic events produced at LEP at a centre-of-mass energy of 161 GeV. We present distributions of event shape variables, jet rates, charged particle momentum spectra and multiplicities. We determine the strong coupling strength to be αs(161 GeV) = 0.101±0.005(stat.)±0.007(syst.), the mean charged particle multiplicity to be 〈nch〉(161 GeV) = 24.46 ± 0.45(stat.) ± 0.44(syst.) and the position of the peak in the ξp = ln(1/xp) distribution to be ξ0(161 GeV) = 4.00 ±0.03(stat.)±0.04(syst.). These results are compared to data taken at lower centre-of-mass energies and to analytic QCD or Monte Carlo predictions. Our measured value of αs(161 GeV) is consistent with other measurements of αs. Within the current statistical and systematic uncertainties, the PYTHIA, HERWIG and ARIADNE QCD Monte Carlo models and analytic calculations are in overall agreement with our measurements. The COJETS QCD Monte Carlo is in general agreement with the data for momentum weighted distributions like Thrust, but predicts a significantly larger charged particle multiplicity than is observed experimentally.
