Decay of the psi(3770) to Light Hadrons

The CLEO collaboration Adams, G.S. ; Anderson, M. ; Cummings, J.P. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 73 (2006) 012002, 2006.
Inspire Record 691720 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.52474

We describe a search for psi(3770) decay to two-body non-DDbar final states in e+e- data produced by the CESR collider and analyzed with the CLEO-c detector. Vector-pseudoscalar production of Rho0Pi0, Rho+Pi-, OmegaPi0, PhiPi0, RhoEta, OmegaEta, PhiEta, RhoEtaPrime, OmegaEtaPrime, PhiEtaPrime, Kstar0 K0bar, and Kstar+K- is studied along with that of BOnePi (BOne0Pi0 and BOne+Pi-) and Pi+Pi-Pi0. A statistically significant signal is found for PhiEta, at an excess cross section of (2.4 +- 0.6) pb [Gamma_{PhiEta} (psi(3770)) =(74 +- 16)Mev], and a suggestive suppression of Pi+Pi-Pi0 and RhoPi. We conclude with form factor determinations for OmegaPi0, RhoEta, and RhoEtaPrime.

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.

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.

Measurement of the direct photon spectrum in Upsilon(1S) decays.

The CLEO collaboration Nemati, B. ; Richichi, S.J. ; Ross, W.R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 55 (1997) 5273-5281, 1997.
Inspire Record 425927 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.52340

Using data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have determined the ratio of branching fractions: $R_{\gamma} \equiv \Gamma(\Upsilon(1S) \rightarrow \gamma gg)/\Gamma(\Upsilon(1S) \rightarrow ggg) = (2.75 \pm 0.04(stat.) \pm 0.15(syst.))%$. From this ratio, we have determined the QCD scale parameter $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}$ (defined in the modified minimal subtraction scheme) to be $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}= 233 \pm 11 \pm 59$ MeV, from which we determine a value for the strong coupling constant $\alpha_{s}(M_{\Upsilon(1S)}) = 0.163 \pm 0.002 \pm 0.014$, or $\alpha_{s}(M_{Z}) = 0.110 \pm 0.001 \pm 0.007$.

Inspire Record 439530 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47233

Using data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we determine the ratio R(chrg) for the mean charged multiplicity observed in Upsilon(1S)->gggamma events, to the mean charged multiplicity observed in e+e- -> qqbar gamma events. We find R(chrg)=1.04+/-0.02+/-0.05 for jet-jet masses less than 7 GeV.

Using 4.8 fb$~{-1}$ of data taken with the CLEO II detector, the branching fraction for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D~+\to\pi~0\ell~+\nu$ measured relative to the Cabibbo favored decay $D~+\to\bar{K~0}\ell~+\nu$ is found to be $0.046\pm 0.014\pm 0.017$. Using $V_{cs}$ and $V_{cd}$ from unitarity constraints, we determine $| f_+~{\pi}(0)/f_+~K(0)|~2=0.9\pm 0.3\pm 0.3$ We also present a 90% confidence level upper limit for the branching ratio of the decay $D~+ \to \eta e~+\nu_e$ relative to that for $D~+ \to \pi~0 e~+\nu_e$ of 1.5.

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

The CLEO collaboration Gibaut, D. ; Kinoshita, K. ; Pomianowski, P. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 53 (1996) 4734-4746, 1996.
Inspire Record 401599 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47241

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.

Using data collected in the region of the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the CLEO II detector operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring CESR, we present the first observation of B mesons decaying into the charmed strange baryons Xi_c0 and Xi_c+. We find 79 +/- 27 Xi_c0 and 125 +/- 28 Xi_c+ candidates from B decays, leading to product branching fractions of BR(Bbar -> Xi_c0 X)BR(Xi_c0 -> Xi- pi+) = (0.144 +/- 0.048 +/- 0.021) x 10~-3 and BR(Bbar -> Xi_c+ X)BR(Xi_c+ -> Xi- pi+ pi+) = (0.453 +/- 0.096 +0.085-0.065) x 10~-3.

Phys.Rev.D 57 (1998) 33-54, 1998.
Inspire Record 446031 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.47203

Using the CLEO~II detector, we have measured the differential cross sections for exclusive two-photon production of light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^{\prime}$. From our measurements we have obtained the form factors associated with the electromagnetic transitions $\gamma^*\gamma$ $\to$ meson. We have measured these form factors in the momentum transfer ranges from 1.5 to 9, 20, and 30 GeV$^2$ for $\pi^0$, $\eta$, and $\eta^{\prime}$, respectively, and have made comparisons to various theoretical predictions.
