Observation of the radiative decay D*+→D+γ
Physical Review Letters 80:18 (1998) 3919-3923
Abstract:
We have observed a signal for the decay D*+→D+γ deviations. From the measured branching ratio B(D*+→D+γ)/µþ(¶Ù*+→D+Ï€0)=0.055±0.014±0.010 we find B(D*+→D+γ) =0.017±0.004±0.003, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We also report the highest precision determination of the remaining D*+ branching fractions. © 1998 The American Physical Society.Properties of photon plus two-jet events in p¯p collisions at √s=1.8 TeV

Abstract:
We present the first general measurements (invariant-mass, transverse-energy, and angular distributions) of the process, (Formula presented) (Formula presented) using data collected by the CDF at Fermilab. We compare the data with predictions from a tree-level QCD calculation and the PYTHIA shower Monte Carlo program. Our data sample is particularly sensitive to contributions from initial- and final-state radiation of photons and jets. Using the PYTHIA Monte Carlo program, we contrast the kinematical distributions for direct photon production with those for initial- and final-state photon radiation (bremsstrahlung). Based on the angular distributions, we find that our data favor a mixture of bremsstrahlung and direct photon production, as predicted, over either process alone. © 1998 The American Physical Society.Radiative decay modes of the D0 meson

Search for flavor-changing neutral current decays of the top quark in pp collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV
Physical Review Letters 80:12 (1998) 2525-2530
Abstract:
We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays of the top quark t → λ and t → qZ (here represents the c and u quarks) in pp collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV. We use a dataset (∫ L dtËœ 110pb-1) collected during the 1992-1995 run of the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set 95% confidence level limits on the branching fractions B(t → qλ) < 3.2% and B(t → qZ) < 33%, consistent with the standard model. © 1998 The American Physical Society.51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú of semileptonic decays of [Formula presented] mesons to charmed baryons
