Abstract:

We present an analysis of the mass of the X(3872) reconstructed via its decay to J/psi pi(+)pi(-) using 2.4 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity from pp collisions at square root(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The possible existence of two nearby mass states is investigated. Within the limits of our experimental resolution the data are consistent with a single state, and having no evidence for two states we set upper limits on the mass difference between two hypothetical states for different assumed ratios of contributions to the observed peak. For equal contributions, the 95% confidence level upper limit on the mass difference is 3.6 MeV/c(2). Under the single-state model the X(3872) mass is measured to be 3871.61+/-0.16(stat)+/-0.19(syst) MeV/c(2), which is the most precise determination to date.

Abstract:

We report the observation of the bottom, doubly-strange baryon 惟b- through the decay chain 惟b-鈫扟/蠄惟-, where J/蠄鈫捨+渭-, 惟-鈫捨汯-, and 螞鈫抪蟺-, using 4.2fb-1 of data from pp虅 collisions at s=1.96TeV, and recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. A signal is observed whose probability of arising from a background fluctuation is 4.0脳10-8, or 5.5 Gaussian standard deviations. The 惟b- mass is measured to be 6054.4卤6. 8(stat)卤0.9(syst)MeV/c2. The lifetime of the 惟b- baryon is measured to be 1.13-0.40+0.53(stat)卤0.02(syst)ps. In addition, for the 螢b- baryon we measure a mass of 5790.9卤2.6(stat)卤0.8(syst)MeV/c2 and a lifetime of 1.56-0.25+0.27(stat)卤0.02(syst)ps. Under the assumption that the 螢b- and 惟b- are produced with similar kinematic distributions to the 螞b0 baryon, we find 蟽(螢b-)B(螢b-鈫扟/蠄螢-) 蟽(螞b0)B(螞b0鈫扟/蠄螞)=0.167-0.025+0.037(stat) 卤0.012(syst) and 蟽(惟b-)B(惟b-鈫扟/蠄惟-) 蟽(螞b0)B(螞b0鈫扟/蠄螞)=0.045-0.012+0.017(stat) 卤0.004(syst) for baryons produced with transverse momentum in the range of 6-20GeV/c. 漏 2009 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

Using e+e- collision data taken with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have investigated the direct photon spectrum in the decay 蠄(2S)鈫捨砱g. We determine the ratio of the inclusive direct photon decay rate to that of the dominant three-gluon decay rate 蠄(2S)鈫抔gg (R纬鈮♀寛螕gg(纬gg)/鈱(ggg)) to be R纬(z纬>0.4)=0.070卤0.002卤0.019卤0.011, with z纬 defined as the scaled photon energy relative to the beam energy. The errors shown are statistical, systematic, and that due to the uncertainty in the input branching fractions used to extract the ratio, respectively. 漏 2009 The American Physical Society.
