Abstract

Fermilab high-energy photoproduction experiment E687 provides a high statistics sample of the decay mode D + → K ∗0 μ + ν (charge conjugates are implied). Our analysis yields a branching ratio of Γ (D + → K ∗0 μ + ν) Γ (D + → K − π + π + ) = 0.56±0.04±0.06 . The ratios of the form factors governing the decay are measured to be R ν = 1.74 ±0.27±0.28 and R 2 = 0.78±0.18±0.10, implying a polarization of Γ l Γ t = 1.20±0.13 ±0.13 for the electron decay. Finally, we report new limits on the decay modes D + → K − π + μ + ν (nonresonent) and D + → K ∗0 π 0 μ + ν .

Abstract

We report a measurement of the semimuonic decay D0→K−μ+ν from data taken during the 1987–1988 fixed target run at Fermilab by the E687 Collaboration. We obtain Γ(D0→K−μ+ν)/Γ(D0→K−π+)=0.82±0.13±0.13 and use this result to calculate Γ(D 0 →K ∗− μ + ν)/Γ(D 0 →K − μ + ν)=0.59±0.10±0.13 .

Abstract

The magnetic spectrometer and charged particle tracking system used in Fermilab experiment 687 to study the photoproduction and decay of charm particles are described in detail. The photons are produced by a wideband electron beam which can operate at energies up to 600 GeV/ c . The spectrometer consists of a high resolution silicon microstrip detector, a large aperture dipole magnet, proportional chambers, a second large aperture dipole, and more proportional chambers. Three multi-cell threshold Cherenkov counters provide charged particle identification. The tracking system is capable of resolving the secondary decay vertices of charm and beauty mesons and baryons from the primary interaction vertex. It also determines the invariant mass of the multibody final states of particles containing heavy quarks with excellent resolution. The particle identification system allows one to identify kaons and protons present in these final states clearly. This collection of detectors produces very clean signals for charm particles and permits one to make many cross checks of the apparatus. The performance is illustrated for a variety of charm signals. Of particular interest is a description of the tracking through the silicon microstrip detector and its use in isolating downstream decay vertices. Two complementary approaches to the reconstruction of secondary decay vertices are presented and insight is gained by comparing their strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract

Analysis of the resonant and non-resonant branching fractions for the decays D 0 →K S 0 π + π − and D 0 →K S 0 K + K − is presented. For the D 0 →K S 0 π + π − decay, a fit to the observed Dalitz plot was performed to determine the complex amplitudes of the sub-component modes. For the D 0 →K S 0 K + K − decay, measurements of the branching ratios D 0 →K S 0 K + K − (inclusive), D 0 →K S 0 φ , and D 0 →K S 0 (K + K − ) non- φ relative to the D 0 →K S 0 π + π − mode are reported. The data were collected by the Fermilab high energy photoproduction experiment E687.

Abstract

We present measurements of the branching ratios for two Cabibbo suppressed decays of the D0 meson, D0 → π+π+π−π− and D0 → K−K+, and for the decay D + s → фπ + π + π − . The physics signals were extracted from a data sample consisting of 60 million triggers, collected by Fermilab Photoproduction Experiment E687 from December 1987 to February 1988. The relative branching ratios are measured to be: Γ(D0 → 4π)/Γ(D0 → K3π) = 0.108±0.024±0.008, Γ(D0 → KK)/Γ(D0 → Kπ) = 0.138±0.027 ±0.010 and Γ( D s → ф3π)/Γ( D s → фπ) = 0.58±0.20±0.10 .

Abstract

A scintillating glass has been developed containing cerium (3+) oxide in an aluminate host glass. In this material the scintillation emission spectrum is red-shifted relative to that observed for Ce/sup 3+/ in silicate glasses. Emission and absorption spectra are more widely separated in the aluminate composition, suggesting that which glasses might have improved light-transmission properties. The refractive index is high, making it a potentially interesting material for use in fiber-optic tracking detectors. >
