B physics and X(3872) production at DØ • Introduction • DØ-Detector • Results on B physics • Results on X(3872) • Summary All results are preliminary Frank Lehner U Zurich DIS 2004, Strbske Pleso 15-18 April, 2004
Accelerator Status • excellent performance of Tevatron in 2004 • DØ recorded 70 pb-1 in 2004 • important milestone: reprocessed full dataset in fall 2003 • greatly improved tracking performance • good fraction processed off-site • current datasets • ~300 pb-1 on tape • ~200-250 pb-1 analyzed • ~100 pb-1 Run I
B production at Tevatron • Pro’s: • large cross section ~105 x larger than at present B-factories (4S) • all kinds of b hadrons produced: • Bd, Bs, Bc, b,.. • Con’s: • QCD background overwhelming • efficient trigger and reliable tracking necessary • soft pt spectrum, smaller boost than LEP • Key for B physics program at DØ: • Muon system • Muon trigger (single and dimuon triggers) • Silicon Vertex + Tracker
DØ detector • upgraded Run II DØ detector: • beamline shielding • reduce background • new Forward Muon + Central Muon Scintillators • excellent coverage ||<2 • Preshowers • helping for e-ID • Fiber Tracker • Silicon Detector • 2T Solenoid
DØ tracking region • Silicon detector • 6 barrels w/ 4 layers silicon- mostly double-sided silicon, axial and stereo • interspersed double-sided disks • large external area disks at end • tracking/vertexing up to ||<3 • Fiber Tracker • scintillating fibers Ø 0.82 mm • 8 layers - each axial/stereo • R/O through VLPC in LHe
Tracking performance Data from semileptonic decays (B m D X) || for kaons from D*D0 pT spectrum of soft pion from D*D0 • Tracks are reconstructed • over a wide range • starting from pT = 180 MeV efficient muon and tracking system give us a large sample of semileptonic B decays
Benchmark: exclusive B decays & yields • accumulated large exclusive samples of B+ and B0 • find in ~225 pb-1 • B0 J/y K* 1900 events • B+ J/y K+ 4300 events • B0 J/y Ks375 events • good S/B • Lifetime cuts applied
250 pb-1 Benchmark: exclusive B decays & yields • b-> J/ 52 events • Bs -> J/ 400 events • We have good potential in all B J/y exclusive modes, work in progress on • Lifetime measurement of different B species • Studies of CP effects in Bs & Bd mesons
Lifetime ratio (B+)/(B0) from semileptonic decays • measure from semileptonic B decays directly lifetime ratio instead of absolute lifetimes • select following samples: • Bm n D0 X • Bm n D* X • sample compositions: • “D0 sample”: + K+ - + anything • B+ 82%, B0 16%, Bs 2% • “D* sample”: + D0 - + anything • B+ 12%, B0 86%, Bs 2% • estimates based on measured BR and isospin relations • group events in 8 bins of visible proper decay length (VPDL) VPDL = LT / pT( D0) MB LT = transverse decay length
Lifetime ratio (B+)/(B0) from semileptonic decays Measure ratio r= N(+ D*-)/N(+ D0) in each bin i Combinatorial background with true D0 in D* sample is subtracted using wrong-sign distribution no need for parameterisation of background VPDL distribution Additional inputs to the fit: - sample compositions (previous slide) - K-factors (from simulation) K = pT(D0) / pT(B) (separately for different decay modes) - relative reconstruction efficiencies for different B decay modes (from simulation) - slow pion reconstruction efficiency [flat for pT(D0) > 5 GeV (one of our cuts)] - decay length resolution (from simulation) - (B+) = 1.674 0.018 ps [PDG] one example VPDL bin
Lifetime ratio (B+)/(B0) from semileptonic decays use binned c2 fit of event ratios to determine (B+)/(B0) • systematics currently dominated by • time dependence of slow pion reconstruction efficiency • relative reconstruction efficiencies CY • Br(B+ + D*- + X) • K-factors • decay length resolution differences D0 D* Preliminary result: (B+)/(B0) = 1.093 0.021 (stat) 0.022 (syst)
Lifetime ratio (B+)/(B0) from semileptonic decays This is one of the most precise measurements to date: New DØ result (average not updated, plot not official or approved by HFAG)
B0/B0 mixing • in SM Bd mixing is explained by box diagrams • constrains Vtd CKM matrix element • mixing frequency mdhas been measured with high precision at B factories (0.502 0.007 ps-1) • use our large sample of semileptonic Bd decays to measure md • benchmark the initial state flavor tagging for later use in Bs and ms measurements
B0/B0 mixing • initial flavor tagging • opposite side tight muon tag • muon pT > 2.5 GeV/c • cos Df(m, B) < 0.5 • asymmetry of ‘oscillated’ and ‘non-oscillated’ B mesons as function of VPDL • use binned 2 fit for asymmetry • this is already one of the best measurements in hadron colliders • work in progress to reduce systematics • use other tagging methods • add more D0 decay channels Preliminary results: md=0.5060.055(stat)0.049(syst) ps-1 Tagging efficiency: Tagging purity:
Towards Bs mixing • semileptonic decays (Bs->m n Ds) • very good statistics • excellent yield: 9500 candidates in ~250 pb-1 • if ms 15 ps-1 a first indication of Bs mixing might be possible with 500 pb-1 • fully reconstructed hadronic decays: • poor statistics • excellent proper time resolution • need a few fb-1 of data to reach ms 18 ps-1
Observation of B D** X • D** are orbitally excited D meson states, see diagram • in heavy quark limit w/ L=1 expect two sets of doublet states • two broad (decay through S-wave) • two narrow (decay through D-wave) • narrow D** • D01(2420)-> D*+p- • D2*0(2460)-> D*+p- • D10, D2*0 have been observed and studied in several experiments, most recently by BaBar and Belle in B- D**0 - • we study D10, D2*0 produced in semileptonic B decays. Figure from Belle, hep-ex/0307021
Observation of B D** X • start from B D*X sample, add another + • look at invariant mass of D*- + system • observed merged D10(2420) and D2*0(2460) • excess in right-sign combinations can be interpreted as interfering D10 and D2*0 • DØ’s preliminary result constrains the resonant contribution Work in progress: extract separate amplitude, relative phase Br(B {D10,D2*0} X) Br({D10,D2*0} D*+ -) = 0.280 0.021 (stat) 0.088 (syst) %
Bs + - sensitivity study SM: • purely leptonic B decay is a flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) • forbidden at tree level • highly suppressed in SM • BR(Bs->mm)~ 3·10-9 • BR grows with tan6b in MSSM • very attractive probe for any new physics with extended Higgs sector (Two-Higgs Doublet models) Two-Higgs Doublet models:
Bs + - sensitivity study • blind analysis: optimization cuts using Random Grid Search based on mass sideband • discriminating variables • isolation of mm pair • decay length • opening angle between mm pair and decay length direction • expected signal is normalized to B+-> J/ K+ • expect 7.3 1.8 background events in signal region The box has NOT been openedyet - Reoptimisation still in progress - further improvements expected Current expected limit (Feldman/Cousins): Br(Bs + -) < 1.0 10-6 @ 95 % CL (stat + syst)
X(3872) J/ + - • last summer on LP ‘03, Belle announced new particle at ~3872 MeV/c2 • observed in B+ decays: • B+ K+ X(3872) • X(3872) J/ + - • Belle’s discovery has been confirmed by CDF and DØ • DØ preliminary: • 300 61 events • 4.4 effect • M = 0.768 0.004 (stat) 0.004 (syst) GeV/c2
X(3872) J/ + - • nature of X(3872) is not known • mass surprisingly close to D*D threshold • could be charmonium, hybrid or meson molecule • compare sample of X particles to sample of (2S) using • ||<1 and 1<||<2 (plot) • decay length dl<0.2 mm and dl>0.2 mm • helicity of pp • isolation of X
X(3872) J/ + - • no significant differences between (2S) and X have been observed • surviving fraction of X behaves similar to (2S) • more useful once we have models of the production and decay of, e.g., meson molecules that predict the observables used in the comparison • Note that • observation of the charged analog X+ J/ + 0 would rule out cc hypothesis • observation of radiative decays X c would favour cc hypothesis (Belle set limit). Use DØ’s calorimeter to identify low energy 0 and : work in progress
Summary • Preliminary results from DØ: • precise measurement of (B+)/(B0) • measurement of md, benchmark flavour tagging • Observation of B D** X at DØ • DØ’s sensitivity to Bs • Observation of the X(3872) at DØ and study of its production properties • The exciting times have started; stay tuned for more
