Abstract:

Using the CLEO II.V detector observing e+e- collisions at around 10.6 GeV we search for neutral D mixing in semileptonic D0 decays tagged in charged D* decays. Combining the results from the Keν and K*eν channels we find that the rate for D mixing is less than 0.0078 at 90% C.L. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We report a measurement of the tt̄ production cross section using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The data consist of events with an energetic electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and three or more hadronic jets, at least one of which is identified as a b-quark jet by reconstructing a secondary vertex. The background fraction is determined from a fit of the transverse energy of the leading jet. Using 162 ± 10 pb -1 of data, the total cross section is found to be 6.0 ± 1.6(stat.) ± 1.2(syst.) pb, which is consistent with the standard model prediction. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We analyze 13.8 fb1 of the integrated e+e- luminosity collected at 10.6 GeV center-of-mass energy with the CLEO II and CLEO II.V detectors to study exclusive two-photon production of hadrons with masses below 1.7 GeV/c2 decaying into the Ks0 K± π∓ final state. We observe two statistically significant enhancements in the ν(1475) mass region. These enhancements have large transverse momentum which rules them out as being due to pseudoscalar resonances but is consistent with the production of axial-vector mesons. We use tagged two-photon events to study the properties of the observed enhancements and associate them with the production of f1(1285) and f1(1420). Our nonobservation of ν(1475) is inconsistent by more than 2 standard deviations with the first observation of this resonance in two-photon collisions by the L3 experiment. We present our estimates for 90% confidence level upper limits on the products of two-photon partial widths of light pseudoscalar hadrons and their branching fractions into Ks 0(π+π-)K±π ∓. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
