Abstract:

We present a measurement of the tt虅 production cross section using 194 pb-1 of CDF II data using events with a high transverse momentum electron or muon, three or more jets, and missing transverse energy. The measurement assumes 100% t鈫扺b branching fraction. Events consistent with tt虅 decay are found by identifying jets containing heavy-flavor semileptonic decays to muons. The dominant backgrounds are evaluated directly from the data. Based on 20 candidate events and an expected background of 9.5卤1.1 events, we measure a production cross section of 5.3卤3.3-1.0+1.3 pb, in agreement with the standard model. 漏 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

In e+e- collisions recorded using the CLEO II.V detector we have studied the Cabibbo suppressed decay of D0鈫捪+蟺-蟺0 with the initial flavor of the D0 tagged by the decay D*+鈫扗0蟺+. We use the Dalitz-plot analysis technique to measure the resonant substructure in this final state and observe 蟻蟺 and nonresonant contributions by fitting for their amplitudes and relative phases. We describe the 蟺蟺 S wave with a K-matrix formalism and limit this contribution to the rate to be <2.5%@95% confidence level, in contrast to the large rate observed in D+鈫捪+蟺-蟺+ decay. Using the amplitudes and phases from this analysis, we calculate an integrated CP asymmetry of 0.01-0.07+0.09卤0.05. 漏 2005 The American Physical Society.
