Abstract:

We present a measurement of the mass difference Amd of the two °mass eigenstates. We use a flavor tagging method based on the lepton charge, in a sample of events with two muons at low transverse momentum. The sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 90 pb' collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The result obtained is Amrf=0.503±0.064(stat)±0.071(syst) ps~'. ©1999 The American Phvciral Society.

Measurement of b quark fragmentation fractions in the production of strange and light B mesons in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV

Abstract:

A new technique to measure the ratio of b quark fragmentation fractions in pp̄ collisions is described. Using a 70-pb-1 sample of low-mass dimuon trigger data recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab, we identify B mesons by observing the double semileptonic decays b→c μX with c→s μX. By counting the numbers of K*(892)0, K*(892)+, and φ(1020) mesons produced in association with these muon pairs, we measure the ratio of strange to nonstrange B meson production to be fs/(fu+fd)=[21.0±3.6(stat) -3.0+3.8(syst)]%. This measurement is the most precise available from hadron collisions to date. Limits on the branching fractions of semileptonic charm meson decays with K1(1270), K1* (1410), and K2*(1430) mesons in the final state are also obtained. ©1999 The American Physical Society.
