  1. Recent Results from FOCUS Sandra Malvezzi I.N.F.N. Milano FOCUS Collaboration SLAC 16 March 2004 Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  2. A new charm physics era The high statistics and excellentquality of data allow for unprecedented sensitivity & sophisticated studies • Investigation of decay dynamics both in the hadronic and semileptonic sector Phases andQuantum Mechanics interference FSI role & CP studies • Lifetime measurements @ better than 1% non-spectator processes • Mixing and rare & forbidden decays possible window on physics beyond SM What can we learn for the future (charm and beauty @ higher statistics )? Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  3. Over 1 million reconstructed!! FOCUS Spectrometer Successor to E687. Designed to study charm particles produced by ~200 GeV photons using a fixed target spectrometer with upgraded Vertexing, Cerenkov, E+M Calorimetry, and Muon id capabilities. Includes groups from USA, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Korea 1 million charm particles reconstructed into DK , K2 , K3 Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  4. FOCUS role • Lifetime • Mixing • Rare & forbidden decays • Semileptonic • Hadronic decays (Dalitz plot) • Multi-body channels (4,5,6 bodies!) • Charm Baryons • D* spectroscopy ]not covered here Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  5. Charm lifetimes FOCUS (*) produced new lifetimes results with precision better than the previous world average (○), PDG 2002 Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  6. Rare & forbidden decays Phys.Lett. B572 (2003) 21 8 rare & SM forbidden decays improvement over previous results by a factor of 1.7 -14 Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  7. Preliminary FOCUS semimuonic mixing Mixing I play in the enemy’s territory! Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  8. the unexpected • i.e. the analysis complications • i.e the lessons for the future • Higher charm statistics • Beauty accurate studies ...the semileptonic sector Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  9. New results on Our Kp spectrum looks like 100% K*(892) This has been known for about 20 years ...but a funny thing happened when we tried to measure the form factor ratios by fitting the angular distributions Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  10. Decay is very accessible to theory Assuming the Kp spectrum contains nothing but K*, the decay rate is straight-foreward Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  11. forward-backward asymmetry in cos below the K* pole but almost none above the pole A 4-body decay requires 5 kinematics variables: 3 angles and 2 masses An unexpected asymmetry in the K* decay Sounds like QM interference Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  12. We simply add a constant amplitude in the place where the K* couples to an m=0 W+ with amplitude Try an interfering spin-0 amplitude Phys.Lett.B535,43,2002 (plus mass terms) will produce 3 interference terms Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  13. Studies of the acoplanarity-averaged interference Extract this interference term by weighting data by all c-averaged terms in the decay intensity for pure are constant or We begin with the mass dependence: A constant 45º phase works great.... ...but the solution is not unique . Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  14. .. other options would work as well. Asymmetry expected directly from LASS s-wave K p phase shift analysis. And Kappa with no fsi phase shift and with a 100 degree phase shift. cos qV term cos qv weighted M(Kp), GeV/c2 Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  21. New measurement of the Ds+fm+n ff hep-ex/0401001 • According to flavor SU(3) symmetry the form factor ratios rv and r2 describing D+K0*m+n should be close to Ds+fm+n since the only difference is a spectator quark d replaced with a s • Lattice gauge calculations: max diff= 10% • Experiment: • rv OK • r2 inconsistent (3.3s).

  25. ....the lesson “The advantages of high-statistics for the interpretation of Heavy-Flavour hadronic-decay dynamics will vanish without a strategy for controlling strong effects among particles involved in weak-decay processes ” If unexpectedcomplications arise in the semileptonic sector what happens in the three-body hadronic decay dynamics study? Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  26. had to face the problem of dealing with light scalar particles populating charm meson hadronic decays, such as Dppp, D Kpp Complication for Dalitz plot analysis Require understanding of light-quark hadronicphysics including the riddle of s(600)and k(900), (i.e, pp and Kp states produced close to threshold), whose existence and nature is still controversial Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  27. A bridge of language, knowledge and measurements between the two worlds of Light MesonsandHeavy Flavours is necessary • S-matrix and its representations • Two-body unitarity • Analyticity • Limits of the Breit-Wigner approximation etc.. Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  28. Analysis techniques CAN and MUST be improvednow in view of extensive application in high-statistics experiments (Cleo-c, Babar, Belle, BTeV, LHC-b etc...) for precision studies of CP and reliableNew Physics measurements Pioneering work performed by hep-ex/0312040to appear in PLB 585 (2004) 200 Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

An instructive example from FOCUS analogy withoperatively: complete Dalitz plot analysis (time-dependent) to deal with all interference with other (pp)p intermediate channels Milano group crucial for determination of the angle a of the SM unitarity triangle Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  30. 2 3 3 r r | 1 2 1 How can we formulate the problem? The problem is to write the propagator for theresonance r For a well-defined wave with specific isospin and spin (IJ) characterized by narrow and well-isolated resonances, we know how. Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  31. Spin 0 Spin 1 Spin 2 • the propagator is of the simple Breit-Wigner type • the decay amplitude is • the decay matrix element traditional isobar model Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  32. In contrast when the specific IJ–wave is characterized by large and heavily overlapping resonances (just as the scalars!), the problem is not that simple. Indeed, it is very easy to realize that the propagation is no longer dominated by a single resonance but is the result of a complicated interplay among resonances. In this case, it can be demonstrated on very general grounds that the propagator may be written in the context of the K-matrix approach as where K is the matrix for the scattering of particles 1 and 2. i.e., to write down the propagator we need the scattering matrix Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS

  33. We may summarize by saying that: The decay amplitude may be written, in general, as a coherent sum of BW terms for waves with well-isolated resonances plus K-matrix terms for waves with overlapping resonances. Where the general form of for scalars is Sandra Malvezzi - Recent results from FOCUS
