Measurement of Singly Cabibbo Suppressed Decays Λc+→pπ+π− and Λc+→pK+K−

2016

Using 567 pb(-1) of data collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 4.599 GeV, near the Lambda(+)(c)->(Lambda) over bar (-)(c) threshold, we study the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Lambda c(+) -> p pi(+) pi(-) and Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(+) K- By normalizing with respect to the Cabibbo-favored decay Lambda(+)(c)-> p pi(+)pi(-) we obtain ratios of branching fractions: [B(Lambda(+)(c) -> p pi(+)pi(-))/B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(-)pi(+))] = (6.70 +/- 0.48 +/- 0.25)% [B Lambda(+)(c) -> p phi)/B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(-)pi(+))] = (1.81 +/- 0.33 +/- 0.13)%,and [B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(+)K(non-phi)(-)/B(Lambda(+)(c) -> pK(-)pi(+))] (9.36 +/- 2.22 +/- 0.71)x10(-3), where the uncerta…

Measurement of theDs+→ℓ+νℓbranching fractions and the decay constantfDs+

2016

Using 482 pb(-1) of e(+) e(-) collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 4.009 GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the branching fractions of the decays D-s(+) -> u(+)v(u) and D-s(+) -> tau(+)v(tau). By constraining the ratio of decay rates of Ds(+) to tau(+)v(u) and to u(+)v(u) to the Standard Model prediction, the branching fractions are determined to be B(D-s(+) -> u(+)v(u) = (0.495 +/- 0.067 +/- 0.026)% and B(D-s(+) -> tau(+)v(tau) = (4.83 +/- 0.65 +/- 0.26)% Using these branching fractions, we obtain a value for the decay constant f(Ds+) of (241.0 +/- 16.3 +/- 6.5) MeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.

Observation and analysis ofE mesons in $$\bar p$$ p annihilation at rest in H2 gas

1989

Antiproton-proton annihilation at rest in a gaseous H2 target at NTP into the final state π+ π−K± π∓ (K0) with an undetectedK0 or\(\bar K^0 \) has been investigated. We observe theE(1420) resonance in the invariant mass spectrum (K0)missK± π∓ with massME=1413±8 MeV/c2 and widthГE=62 ± 16MeV/c2 and find evidence for the production of thef1(1285). The absolute branching ratio of\(\bar p\)p → π+ π−E0,E0 →K0LK±π∓ at (61±6)%P wave annihilation is (3.0±0.9)·10−4 of all annihilations. The observed suppression of theE production fromP wave with respect to theS wave together with some simple selection rules suggest that the quantum numbers of theE(1420) areJpc=0−+ and not I++.

Search for baryonic decays ofψ(3770)andψ(4040)

2013

By analyzing data samples of 2.9 fb(-1) collected at root s = 3.773 GeV, 482 pb(-1) collected at root s = 4.009 GeV and 67 pb(-1) collected at root s = 3.542, 3.554, 3.561, 3.600 and 3.650 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we search for psi(3770) and psi(4040) decay to baryonic final states, including Lambda(Lambda) over bar pi(+)pi(-), Lambda(Lambda) over bar pi(0), Lambda(Lambda) over bar eta , Sigma(0)(Sigma) over bar (0) and Xi(0) (Xi) over bar (0) decays. None are observed, and upper limits are set at the 90% confidence level.

Quenching of the SnSbTe Cycle in therpProcess

2009

The nuclides 104-108Sn, 106-110Sb, 108,109Te, and 111I at the expected endpoint of the astrophysical rp process have been produced in 58Ni+natNi fusion-evaporation reactions at IGISOL and their mass values were precisely measured with the JYFLTRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer. For 106Sb, 108Sb, and 110Sb these are the first direct experimental mass results obtained. The related one-proton separation energies have been derived and the value for 106Sb, Sp=424(8) keV, shows that the branching into the closed SnSbTe cycle in the astrophysical rp process is weaker than expected.

Measurement of the branching fraction of the decay Bs0→KS0KS0

2020

A measurement of the branching fraction of the decay Bs0→KS0KS0 is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb-1 collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2016. The branching fraction is determined to be B(Bs0→KS0KS0)=[8.3±1.6(stat)±0.9(syst)±0.8(norm)±0.3(fs/fd)]×10-6, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third and fourth are due to uncertainties on the branching fraction of the normalization mode B0→φKS0 and the ratio of hadronization fractions fs/fd. This is the most precise measurement of this branching fraction to date. Furthermore, a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B0…

Measurement of theB0→K2*(1430)0γandB+→K2*(1430)+γbranching fractions

2004

We have investigated the exclusive, radiative B meson decays to K2*(1430) in 89* 10^6 BBbar events with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage ring. We measure the branching fractions BR(B0 -> K2*(1430)0 gamma) = (1.22 +-0.25 +-0.10)*10^(-5) and BR(B+ -> K2*(1430)+ gamma) = (1.45 +-0.40 +-0.15) * 10^(-5), where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, we measure the CP-violating asymmetry ACP(B0 -> K2*(1430)0 gamma) = -0.08 +- 0.15 +- 0.01.
