Abstract:

Using a sample of 3.3×10⁶ Y(4S)→BB̄ events collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we measure B(B→��lv), |Vub|, and the partial rate (ΔΓ) in three bins of q²≡(��B -p��)². We find B(B⁰→��^-l+��)=(2.69±0.41 -0.40^+0.35±0.50)×10^-4, |Vub��=(3.23±0.24-0.26^+0.23 ±0.58)×10^-3, ΔΓ(02<7 GeV²/c⁴)=(7.6±3.0-1.2 ^+0.9±3.0)×10^-2 ns^-1, ΔΓ(72<14 GeV²/c⁴)=(4.8 ±2.9-0.8^+0.7±0.7)×10^-2 ns^-1, and ΔΓ(142<21 GeV²/c⁴)=(7.1±2.1-1.1 ^+0.9±0.6)×10^-2 ns^-1. Here, l=e or μ, but not both, and the errors are statistical, systematic, and theoretical. The method is sensitive primarily to B→��lv decays with leptons in the energy range above 2.3 GeV. Averaging with the previously published CLEO results for B→��lv, we obtain B(B⁰→��^-l⁺��)=(2.57±0.29 -0.46^+0.33±0.41)×10^-4 and |Vub|=(3.25 ±0.14-0.29^+0.21±0.55)×10^-3. ©2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The CLEO III Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector uses LiF radiators to generate Cherenkov photons which are then detected by proportional wire chambers using a mixture of CH4 and TEA gases. The first two photon detector modules which were constructed, were taken to the Fermilab and tested in a beam dump that provided high-momentum muons. We report on results using both plane and 'sawtooth'-shaped radiators. Specifically, we discuss the number of photoelectrons observed per ring and the angular resolution. The particle separation ability is shown to be sufficient for the physics of CLEO III.

Abstract:

Using 4.68 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have studied tau radiative decays tau(-)-->nu(tau)&mgr;(-)nu;(&mgr;)gamma and tau(-)-->nu(tau)e(-)nu;(e)gamma. For a 10 MeV minimum photon energy in the tau rest frame, the branching fraction for radiative tau decay to a muon or electron is measured to be (3.61+/-0.16+/-0. 35)x10(-3) or (1.75+/-0.06+/-0.17)x10(-2), respectively. The branching fractions are in agreement with standard model theoretical predictions.
