DECAY OF B MESONS INTO CHARGED AND NEUTRAL KAONS

The CLEO collaboration Brody, A. ; Chen, A. ; Goldberg, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 48 (1982) 1070-1074, 1982.
Inspire Record 180612 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27749

Data on inclusive kaon production in e+e− annihilations at energies in the vicinity of the ϒ(4S) resonance are presented. A clear excess of kaons is observed on the ϒ(4S) compared to the continuum. Under the assumption that the ϒ(4S) decays into BB¯, a total of 3.38±0.34±0.68 kaons per ϒ(4S) decay is found. In the context of the standard B-decay model this leads to a value for (b→c)(b→all) of 1.09±0.33±0.13.

Charged Particle Multiplicities in $B$ Meson Decay

The CLEO collaboration Alam, M.S. ; Csorna, S.E. ; Fridman, A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 49 (1982) 357, 1982.

The charged multiplicity has been measured at the ϒ(4S) and a value of 5.75±0.1±0.2 has been obtained for the mean charged multiplicity in B-meson decay. Combining this result with the measurement of prompt leptons from B decay, the values 4.1±0.35±0.2 and 6.3±0.2±0.2 are found for the semileptonic and nonleptonic charged multiplicities, respectively. If b→c dominance is assumed for the weak decay of the B meson, then the semileptonic multiplicity is consistent with the recoil mass determined from the lepton momentum spectrum.

Observation of Three Upsilon States

The CLEO collaboration Andrews, D. ; Berkelman, Karl ; Billing, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 44 (1980) 1108, 1980.
Inspire Record 152393 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20733

Three narrow resonances have been observed in e+e− annihilation into hadrons at total energies between 9.4 and 10.4 GeV. Measurements of mass spacing and ratios of lepton pair widths support the interpretation of these "ϒ" states as the lowest triplet-S levels of the bb¯ quark-antiquark system.

Observation of a Fourth Upsilon State in e+ e- Annihilations

The CLEO collaboration Andrews, D. ; Berkelman, Karl ; Cabenda, R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 45 (1980) 219, 1980.
Inspire Record 153182 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20674

A fourth state in the upsilon energy region has been seen in e+e− collisions at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. A resonance is observed with a mass 1112±5 MeV above the lowest upsilon state. The 9.6-MeV rms width is greater than the 4.6-MeV energy resolution of the e+e− beams. The observed characteristics of the new state make it a likely candidate for the 4S3 state of the bb¯ system, lying above the threshold for the production of B mesons.
