Abstract:

The physical characteristics such as mass and total width of ηc meson were analyzed in two-photon interactions. The hyperfine separations were found to be directly related to spin-spin interactions. The momenta of charged particles were measured and their trajectories reconstructed with two detector systems which were located in 1.5 T solenoidal magnetic field. The charged particle identification was provided by detector of internally reflected Cherenkov light. The mass resolution was determined by fitting the distribution of difference between reconstructed mass and generated mass to Gaussian function.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B ^±→χc0K^± sample of 89×10⁶ BB̄ pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory. The χc0 meson is reconstructed through its two-body decays toπ⁺ π^- and K⁺K^-. We measure B(B^± → χc0K^±) ×Β(χ c0→϶�⁺π^-) = [1.32-027 ^+0.28(stat)±0.26(syst)] × 10^-6 and B(B ^±→ χc0K^±) × B(χc0 →K⁺K^-) = [1.49 -0.34^+0.36(stat) ±0.22(syst)] × 10 -6. Using the known values for the χc0 decays branching fractions, we combine these results to obtain Β(B ^± →χc0K^±) = (2.7±0.7)× 10^-4. © 2004 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present results of searches for 5-meson decays to K⁺π ^-π⁺ with the BABAR detector. With a data sample of 61.6 × 10⁶ BB̄ pairs, we measure the branching fractions and 90% confidence-level upper limits averaged over charge-conjugate states (the first error is statistical and the second is systematic): B[B⁺ → K*⁰(892)π⁺] = (15.5 ± 1.8 -4.0^+1.5) × 10^-6, B[B⁺ → f0(980)K⁺, f0 → π⁺π ^-] = (9.2 ± 1.2-2.6^+2.1) × 10 ^-6, B[B⁺ → D̄⁰π⁺, D̄⁰ → K⁺π^-] = (184.6 ± 3.2 ± 9.7) × 10^-6, B[B⁺ → ρ⁰(770)K⁺] < 6.2 × 10^-6 and B[B⁺ → K⁺π^-π⁺ nonresonant] < 17 × 10^-6.
