Abstract:

Using data collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we present new measurements of the branching fractions for D+→KSK+ and D+ → KSπ+. These results are combined with other CLEO measurements to extract the ratios of isospin amplitudes and phase shifts for D→KK and D→Kπ. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

A strong signal for double parton (DP) scattering is observed in a [Formula presented] sample of [Formula presented] data from the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. In DP events, two separate hard scatterings take place in a single [Formula presented] collision. We isolate a large sample of data [Formula presented] of which 53% are found to be DP. The process-independent parameter of double parton scattering, [Formula presented] is obtained without reference to theoretical calculations by comparing observed DP events to events with hard scatterings in separate [Formula presented] collisions. The result [Formula presented] represents a significant improvement over previous measurements, and is used to constrain simple models of parton spatial density. The Feynman [Formula presented] dependence of [Formula presented] is investigated and none is apparent. Further, no evidence is found for kinematic correlations between the two scatterings in DP events. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

Dynamics of evaporative cooling for Bose-Einstein condensation

Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics 56:1 (1997) 560-569

Authors:

H Wu, E Arimondo, CJ Foot

Abstract:

We have simulated the evaporative cooling of a dilute gas of Bose particles including quantum statistics using a Monte Carlo method. This approach can model situations which are far away from quasiequilibrium such as occur during forced evaporative cooling. We have also simulated the dynamical formation of Bose-Einstein condensate for homogeneous and inhomogeneous Bose gases under the random-phase approximation. It was found that the rate of accumulation of Bose particles into low-energy states through collisions is increased by forced evaporation; and a macroscopic population at ground state can be reached at a time scale characterized by classical collision time for an inhomogeneous gas in a harmonic potential. We present the results of simulations for the evaporative cooling and formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in one-, two-, and three-dimensional position cuts and energy cuts. © 1997 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The branching fractions for [Formula presented] [Formula presented] and [Formula presented] are measured using data collected with the CLEO detector at the CESR [Formula presented] collider: [Formula presented]=0.1776[Formula presented]0.0006[Formula presented]0.0017, [Formula presented]=0.1737[Formula presented]0.0008[Formula presented]0.0018, and [Formula presented]=0.1152[Formula presented]0.0005[Formula presented]0.0012, where the first error is statistical, the second systematic, and [Formula presented] refers to either a charged [Formula presented] or [Formula presented]. Also measured is the [Formula presented] mass, [Formula presented]=(1778.2[Formula presented]1.4) MeV. Lepton universality is affirmed by the relative branching fractions [Formula presented]/[Formula presented]=0.9777[Formula presented]0.0063[Formula presented]0.0087, [Formula presented]/[Formula presented]=0.6484[Formula presented]0.0041[Formula presented]0.0060) and the charged-current gauge coupling-constant ratios [Formula presented]=1.0026[Formula presented]0.0055, [Formula presented]=0.9990[Formula presented]0.0098). The [Formula presented] mass result may be recast as a [Formula presented] neutrino mass limit, [Formula presented]60 MeV at 95% C.L. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
