Abstract:

We have searched for the di-pion transition χb(2P) →ππχb(1P) in the CLEO III sample of Υ(3S) decays in the exclusive decay chain: Υ(3S)→γχb(2P), χb(2P) →ππχb(1P), χb(1P)→γΥ(1S), Υ(1S)→ℓ+ℓ-. Our studies include both π+π- and π0π0, each analyzed both in fully-reconstructed events and in events with one pion undetected. We show that the null hypothesis is not substantiated. Under reasonable assumptions, we find the partial decay width to be Γ(χb(2P)→ππχb(1P))=(0.83±0.22±0. 08±0.19)keV, with the uncertainties being statistical, internal CLEO systematics, and common systematics from outside sources. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We measure the dipion mass spectrum in X(3872)→J/ψπ+π- decays using 360pb-1 of p̄p collisions at s=1.96TeV collected with the CDFÂ II detector. The spectrum is fit with predictions for odd C-parity (S13, P11, and DJ3) charmonia decaying to J/ψπ+π-, as well as even C-parity states in which the pions are from ρ0 decay. The latter case also encompasses exotic interpretations, such as a D0D̄*0 molecule. Only the S13 and J/ψρ hypotheses are compatible with our data. Since S13 is untenable on other grounds, decay via J/ψρ is favored, which implies C=+1 for the X(3872). Models for different J/ψ-ρ angular momenta L are considered. Flexibility in the models, especially the introduction of ρ-ω interference, enables good descriptions of our data for both L=0 and 1. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report on a measurement of the inclusive jet production cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV using data collected with the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab in run II, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 385pb-1. The measurement is carried out for jets with rapidity 0.1<|yjet|<0.7 and transverse momentum in the range 54

Abstract:

We report an observation of the decay Bs0→Ds-π+ in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV using 115pb-1 of data collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We observe 83±11(stat) Bs0→Ds-π+ candidates, representing a large increase in statistics over previous measurements and the first observation of this decay at a pp̄ collider. We present the first measurement of the relative branching fraction B(Bs0→Ds-π+)/B(B0→D-π+)=1.32±0.18(stat)±0.38(syst) . We also measure B(B+→D̄0π+)/B(B0→D-π+)=1.97±0. 10(stat)±0.21(syst), which is consistent with previous measurements. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
