  2. Outline • Charm Decays at B Factories: • (Semi-) Leptonic and rare decays – P. Jackson • D Mixing – A. Rahimi • Dalitz Plots – M. Papagallo • Charm Baryons – R. Chistov • Charmonium and other spectroscopy – S. Olsen, A. Palano, B. Yabsley, P. Pakhlov • Tau Physics – G. Lafferty • Here - Choice of some results (probably) not covered in above: • Charm Baryons (mostly from BaBar) • Charm Mesons – a few items • Summary Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  3. BaBar and Belle e+ (3.5 GeV/c) e- (8 GeV/c) Peak luminosity 1.081034 cm–2s–1 Integrated luminosity 363 fb–1 Peak luminosity 1.621034 cm–2s–1 Integrated luminosity 602 fb–1 • Main purpose: Study CP violation in asymmetric e+e - (4S)  BB • Both experiments have far exceeded their design goals • Approx. 1 ab-1 integrated flux combined Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  4. Charm Hadrons at “B”B” Factories? • Cross sections are large Can use “off peak” data • Very high statistics (~1.4 x 106D’s / fb-1). Also: • Continuum production above and below 4S. • B decays – allow measurement of absolute BF’s, and maybe spins ? • D tagging - ~107 reconstructed D’s. • Can study charm baryons • ISR events - allow scan be used for continuum scans • , - events On Off ECM (GeV) Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  5. Charm Baryons Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  6. JP=1/2+ (L=0) JP=3/2+(L=0) Charm Isospin Strangeness JP=1/2+ (L=0) Charm Baryon States BUT - No JP are yet measured ! • |C| = 1: • L=0 Ground State – almost full: JP=1/2+: {6}qqSc(2455), Xc(2470), Wc(2698) All seen JP=1/2+: {3}qqLc(2285), X0c(2575) All seen JP=3/2+: {6}qqSc(2520), Xc(2645), ?? All but Wc* • L>1 – filling up ? JP=1/2-: – Lc(2593), Xc(2790), … JP=3/2-: – Lc(2625), Xc(2815), … • Several more new states from BaBar and Belle … and more … from CLEO 2 (or )c(2880), (or )c (2765) ?? Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  7. 287fb-1hep-ex/0603052 First Charm Baryon  Charm MesonLc(2940) • Observed in cc continuum production inD0pdecay mode(D0 K-p+, K-p+p-p+) Λc(2940)+ : M = (2939.8±1.3±1.0) MeV/c2 Γ = (17.5±5.2±5.9) MeV Λc(2880)+ Λc(2940)+ New data on Λc(2880)+ : New Decay Mode D0p BaBar: M = (2881.9±0.1±0.5) MeV/c2 Γ = (5.8±1.5±1.1) MeV PDG: (“Could be Sc”) M = (2880.9±2.3) MeV/c2 ; Γ < 8 MeV Wrong sign D0p D0 mass sidebands Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  8. 287fb-1hep-ex/0603052 New Baryon Lc(2940) • Neither Lc(2940) nor Lc(2880) seen in D+p system  Neither are Sc’s • Other observations: • Why not seen in Lcp+p- or Scp? • Three states predicted near this mass3/2-, ½+, ½- • Lc(2940) is 6 MeV/c2 belowD*pthreshold • Lc(2940) ispmass aboveLc(2880) c++’s ??

  9. Phys.Lett.B628:18-24,2005 SELEX Search for cc States • Predicted in mass range 3.5 – 3.8 GeV/c2 • Predicted cross-sections from e+e- @ 10 GeV/c2 ~ 1-250 fb Double-charm cross-sections under-estimated by NRQCD  expect to produce 102 – 104 from 232 fb-1 SELEXreports state at 3.52 GeV/c2 - beam ~ 1,630 +c Not confirmed by FOCUS beam ~ 19,500 +c Nor BaBar, nor Belle e+e- ~ 106c+ Brian Meadows, U.

Results normalized to cross-section for producing c+ 95% C.L. limits: Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

Ξc0π+ p*> 0 GeV/c 232fb-1hep-ex/0605075 Ξc0π+ p*> 2 GeV/c Ξc0π+π+p*> 0 GeV/c Ξc0π+π+p*> 2 GeV/c Search for cc States 95% C.L. limits: c c+(+)Xc0+(+) Search made throughout ranges indicated 50 fits: Double Gaussian signal on linear background in 10 MeV/c2 ranges. Results compare with Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  12. 462 fb-1PRELIMINARY Search for Xcc States • Belle also found no evidence for the state seen by SELEX using an even larger sample. M(Lc+K-p+) (GeV/c2) Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  13. 462 fb-1 462 fb-1PRELIMINARY Observation of Two New Xc(csu)States in cc Continuum Production • While searching for weak decay of • Xcc Lc+K- p+ •  pK-p+ • Found strong decays of new Xc* ‘s instead: • Xcx Lc+K- p+ No structure in Lc+ sidebands Nor in Lc+K+p- or Lc+K-p- wrong sign combinations. Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  14. Xc0W-K+ 116 fb-1 Preliminary 230 fb-1 Preliminary Wc0W-p+ The Spin of The W- • The existence of large samples of charm baryons makes possible what was once incredibly difficult ! Earlier results from bubble chambers using small, unaligned samples of W- could only conclude that J>1/2. Assume the spin of charmed parent is ½: In the charm hyperon rest frame, the W- is produced with helicity § ½ independent of the W- spin J. Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  15. 230 fb-1 Preliminary 116 fb-1 Preliminary Xc0W-K+ Wc0W-p+ J = 1/2 J = 3/2 J = 3/2 J = 5/2 The Spin of The W- • The W-L K - decay distribution in its “helicity frame” is then  Conclude J = 3/2 (if charmed parents are J=1/2). Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  16. 357 fb-1hep-ex/0511007 (2005) How About Charm Baryons? • Information on charm baryon spins could come from decays like B+,0c0,-c+  -+ • So far (Belle 357 fb-1) only ~12 events where c0 -+  Not promising for determination of J Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  17. 140 fb-1hep-ex/0409005 (2005) Maybe Three- (or more-) Body Decays ? • 3-body BF’s about 10 x 2-body B-c+ p p - (product of BF’s ~ 2 x 10-5) have. significant # events: B- Sc0 p (Sc0  Lc+-) • Lots of other things going on • Good techniques for dealing with coherent backgrounds may be required. c0(2455) c+- Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  19. Heavy-Light Systems 2jq+1LJ  JP • Narrow statesare easy to find. • Two wide states are harder. • Since charm quark is not infinitely heavy, some jq=1/2, 3/2 mixing can occur between the two JP=1+ states. jq = 3/2 2+ small 3P2 D-wave large 1+ 1P1 S-wave L = 1 1+ 3P1 small D-wave jq = 1/2 1P0 0+ large S-wave tensor spin-orbit jq = 1/2 1- small 1S1 L = 0 small 0- 1S0 Expected by quark models To be below D(*)K threshold Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  20. hep-ex/0507030 281 fb-1   D* D K0 DsJ Mixing in JP = 1+DsJ(2460)/Ds1(2536) ? • Belle has analyzed Ds1(2536) decays to D*K to look for an S-wave component. • (In the limit the c quark has infinite mass, the narrow states would decay in pure D-wave) • Angular distribution of + in D*+ system leads to the limits: 0.277 < S/(S+D) < 0.955 Indicative of some S-wave D+s1D*+K0 1 + A cos2 : S-wave: A=0 D-wave: A=3 A = -0.70 § 0.03 Brian Meadows, U.

  21. 232fb-1hep-ex/0604030 DsJ’s - Overtly Exotic ? • No indication of overtly exotic charge states Circles are Ds side-bands • ForDsJ(2460) need to look inDs(*)+0+,-if JP=1+ (See Antimo Palano’s talk for full details) DsJ(2317) ? DsJ(2460) ? Ds+p- Ds+p+ Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati

  22. 350 fb-1 hep-ex/0507064 PRL 93, 181801 113 fb-1 Decays of B0 Ds(DsJ )+ +h- • Exotic nature of DsJ states could show up in • B 0 Ds(J)K - is especially interesting none of the final state quarks (cuss) are in the initial B (bd) meson. • Expect Rh ~ 1 for cs and Rh ~ 0.1 for csuu C.-H.

  27. Summary • B Factories provide a very clean environment for the production of all charm hadrons • new particle paradise ! • BUT no doubly charmed baryons • Large (and growing) samples of charm mesons and baryons are likely to complement results from -charm facilities for some time to come • In several ways, we are learning how information on systems to which charm hadrons, or B mesons, decay can be extracted • There is a large and enthusiastic community anxious to work on all aspects of the physics available.
