We present the results of a search for charm F mesons in 360 GeV/ c π − p interactions. Several methods have been used; all yield no evidence for the F and are interpreted as 90% confidence level cross section upper limits.
D/S+- lifetime was assumed tau = 3.2*10**-13 s.
D/S+- lifetime was assumed tau = 3.2*10**-13 s.
A search for production of D*−'s using the decay chain D0π−, D0→K+π−, was carried out at the Brookhaven National Laboratory multiparticle spectrometer with a 16-GeV/c π− beam and a hydrogen target. At 95% confidence level the upper limits for the product of peripheral production cross section by branching ratio are 2.4 nb for inclusive D*− production and 1.3 nb for the exclusive channel π−p→D*−Λc.
