  4. The Standard Model • Fundamental particles: • 6 quark , 6 leptons • 4 interactions • The model works well but there are several issues to be understood, for instance: • Higgs boson • Supersymmetry • Strong interactions W,Zbosons Sergio Grancagnolo

  5. Quantum Numbers Of The Quarks Quark Property Sergio Grancagnolo

  7. _ _ _ _ _ Mesons in the Quark Model • Quarks exist only in baryons and mesons • Mesons are made of a quark-antiquark pair • As an example: • Mesons are not stable • Mass, charge and lifetime are main characteristics • Meson width~ 1/lifetime depends on the allowed decay modes Sergio Grancagnolo

  8. sQ sq q _ Q Heavy Quark Approximation ℓ In the heavy quark approximation mq<<mQ,, mQ sQ, j conserved However J, P good quantum numbers Sergio Grancagnolo

  9. Charmed Mesons Spectroscopy _ _ • States with ℓ=1 can decay strongly with emission of a pseudoscalar meson • j=1/2 emission in s-wave • j=3/2 emission in d-wave • D*0,D´1observed by CLEO, Focus and Belle • Broad resonances as expected ℓ=0 ℓ=1 broad ~100 MeV narrow ~10 MeV Sergio Grancagnolo

  10. _ The expected cs Meson Spectra M.Di Pierro, E.Eichten Phys. Rev. D64, 114004 (2001) 2.51 GeV 2.36 GeV States expected but not observed • Masses over threshold DK(*) • Broad states (large widths) * Sergio Grancagnolo

  11. B Meson Decay • Spectator quark model the other u,d quark enters the final state without participating to the interaction • In hadronic decays, could be tested the factorization hypothesis: the final hadrons are produced independently Since mb >>mu,d the B meson decay dominantly through the disintegration of the b quark. The main transition W* ℓn semileptonic is the weak decay bcW* where _ hadronic W* qiqj W* virtual boson Sergio Grancagnolo

  12. _ - _ _ _ _ Exclusive Hadronic B decays • In exclusive decays all particles in final state are reconstructed • Double charm decays contains two mesons with charm quarks • Examples: Ds- BDsD _ D(*)0,D(*)+ B-,B0 D(*)0 K(*)- B DDK B-,B0 D(*)0,D(*)+ Sergio Grancagnolo

  22. Theoretical Interpretations of DsJ Standard interpretations Exotic interpretations

  23. Standard interpretations Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem (G.Occam) • Quark models • Potential: coulombian • (0-,1-),(0+,1+) chiral partners • doublets mass splitting via chiral symmetry breaking • transitions via scalar meson + linear Cahn, Jackson + spherical not linear Lucha, Schoberl need to adjust a posteriori input parameters, predict mass higher than observed or not reproduce non-strange charmed mesons spectra Bardeen, Eichten, Hill hyperfine splitting for charmed mesons (D, D*, etc.) marginally compatible with experiments Sergio Grancagnolo

  24. Standard interpretations • Unitarized chiral models • generalization replacing a light quark with an heavy quark • Non-perturbative methods • lattice QCD • QCD sum rules Beveren, Rupp several new mesons predicted not observed Bali initial difficulties to reproduces masses, reproduces mass splitting Dai, Huang, Liu, Zhu low accuracy Sergio Grancagnolo

  26. Analysis of BD(*)DsJ decays Branching ratios: Method Event selection Signal and Backgrounds Efficiency and “cross-feed”

  27. BD(*)DsJ Decays • ExclusiveDsJ production: expected to be dominant • Allow to measure DsJquantum numbers • In principle, allow to discriminate between conventional and multi-quark scenarios compared with other B decays such as BD(*)Dsand BD(*)D(*)K • If the DsJ is the conventional cs state should be produced in the following graph: _ _ Weak external W emission DsJ- - _ _ _ _ _ D(*)0,D(*)+ B-,B0 Same graph as BD(*)Ds similar branching ratios could be expected Sergio Grancagnolo

  28. BD(*)DsJ Decays (II) • We search for DsJ particles looking at the 12 combinations: • With DsJ decays: • We measure branching ratios, quantum numbers JP Sergio Grancagnolo

  29. Subdecay Modes Intermediate particles are reconstructed in the following modes: Green::clean modes Total: 60 different submodes combined to give the 12 combinations Sergio Grancagnolo

  30. Analysis Goal and Method • We aim to measure branching ratiosBri (i=1…12) of the exclusive double charm two body production of DsJ(2317)+and DsJ(2460)+in B0and B+ • nisignumber of signal candidates for mode i • after combinatorial background subtraction • nixfdnumber of crossfeed events for mode i • contains background from other signal modes • eireconstruction efficiency from simulation • NBB= [122.0 ± 0.6(stat) ± 1.3(syst)]  106 (113 fb-1) * _ Sergio Grancagnolo

  31. _ D0 Ds + DsJ(2460)+ * A specific example: B0D*-DsJ(2460)+ * • Reconstruct the chain: • Reconstruct tracks (K,p) and photons (g) • Select D0, Ds , f, p0computing invariant masses • Use beam energykinematicconstraint • Fit nisig in Dsg invariant mass distribution K+ K+ p- f D*- p- K- p+ B0 g Sergio Grancagnolo

  32. Event Selection: Invariant Masses Invariant mass: D0 Kp Dsfp D* D0p fKK 40000 20000 0 0.99 1.02 1.04 m(f)(GeV/c2) Particles masses are set to their nominal values (mass constraint) Sergio Grancagnolo

  33. Event Selection: B candidates • Compute p*B and E*Bfrom selected D*, Ds, g • Use the B-factory constraint E*beam to compute: 5.272<mES<5.288 GeV mES “Signal box”: |DE|<32MeV Use of beam kinematic variables better resolution ΔE uncorrelation Sidebandsto estimate background outside signal box Sergio Grancagnolo

  34. DE resolution • Same resolution for all the submodes • A systematic error will take in account differences between data and simulation Simulation of signal events Data candidates in mES signal region s(DE)=16.1 s(DE)=18.9 Cross-hatched background from sidebands Missing energy effect Sergio Grancagnolo

  35. DE resolution (II) Final values used in selection (MeV) Better resolution for modes with a p0 (mass constraint) Sergio Grancagnolo

  36. Background Rejection • Reduction of the combinatorial background • Simulated signal events selected in signal region • Background from data events selected in DsJ mass sideband region • Curves represent fraction of events cut by m(D0g)> mcut(D0g) • Optimal cut set at the maximum separation between two samples m(D*g) cut Events rejected: 25% signal 75% backgrd m(D*g)>2.4GeV/c2 Gev/c2 Sergio Grancagnolo

  37. Optimization • Maximized the significance ratio: S = simulated signal events in signal region B = background from data in m(DsJ) sidebands Tried different cut levels for D and Dsusing PID, vertexing and helicity cut f cos(qhel) f mass 5000 40000 2500 20000 Tried different numbers of s cut for variables: DE, m(Ds), m(D) -1 1 1.94 2.0 cos(qhel) m(f) Cleaner modes require less stringent cuts Sergio Grancagnolo

  38. Fit nisig in DsJ(2460)+Ds+g m(Dsg) • Finally, in selected candidates: m(Dsg) • Fit the background shape with a polynomial • Fit the signal peak with a Gaussianof fixed width • s=12 MeV • estimated in data • Events in the signal peak: Entries/10 Mev/c2 GeV/c2 significance=11.7 nisig = 53.0±7.7 Sergio Grancagnolo

  39. Efficiency and Cross-feed • From gi=60k simulated signal events for each mode i • Efficiency: nisim= number of B0D*-DsJ(2460)+ events reconstructed in the corresponding simulated sample • Total cross-feed: nijsim= number of B0D*-DsJ(2460)+ events reconstructed in the simulated sample (mode j) fij= cross-feed from the mode j to the mode i Typical efficiency range: 1-10% depending on the presence of photons, soft tracks, stringent cuts, etc. ; Sergio Grancagnolo

  40. Narrow Cross-feed Efficiency Reconstructed mode: B0D*0Ds1- [Ds-g] m(DsJ) Generated mode: B0D*0Ds1- [Ds-g] nisim= 2778 gi=60000 ei=(4.63±0.08)% Cross-feed Generated mode: B0D*+Ds1- [Ds+g] nijsim= 24 gj=60000 fij=(0.82±0.04)% Narrow: sxfdssig Sergio Grancagnolo GeV/c2

  41. Wide Cross-feed Efficiency Reconstructed mode: B0D0Ds1- [Ds-g] m(DsJ) Generated mode: B0D0Ds1- [Ds*-p0] nisim= 1350 gi=60000 Cross-feed ei=(2.25±0.07)% Generated mode: B0D*+Ds0- [Ds-p0] nisim= 144 gi=60000 fij=(0.24±0.02)% Cross-feed nisim= 162 gi=60000 Generated mode: B0D*0Ds0- [Ds-p0] fij=(0.27±0.02)% Wide: sxfd 2.5 ssig Sergio Grancagnolo GeV/c2

  42. Branching Ratios and Cross-feed An iterative procedure is needed: • Compute for each mode i without considering cross-feed • Estimate nixfdusing Brj and the cross-feed fij from all the modes • Subtract the number of cross-feed events • Compute the corrected branching ratio • Recompute the cross-feed iterating point 2-4 until convergence. __ Sergio Grancagnolo
