Determination of the Michel Parameters rho, xi, and delta in tau-Lepton Decays with tau --> rho nu Tags
Using the ARGUS detector at the storage ring DORIS II, we have
measured the Michel parameters , , and for
decays in -pair events produced at
center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using

Study of B -> \rho \pi decays at Belle
This paper describes a study of B meson decays to the pseudoscalar-vector
final state \rho\pi using 31.9\times 10^6 B\bar{B} events collected with the
Belle detector at KEKB. The branching fractions B(B^+ \to \rho^0\pi^+) =
(8.0^{+2.3+0.7}_{-2.0-0.7}) \times 10^{-6} and B(B^0 -> \rho^{+-} \pi^{-+}) =
(20.8^{+6.0+2.8}_{-6.3-3.1}) \times 10^{-6} are obtained. In addition, a 90%
confidence level upper limit of B(B^0 \to \rho^0\pi^0) < 5.3 \times 10^{-6}is
reported.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, to be submitted to Phys. Lett.
Spectral Correlation in Incommensurate Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
We investigate the energy spectra of clean incommensurate double-walled
carbon nanotubes, and find that the overall spectral properties are described
by the so-called critical statistics of Anderson metal-insulator transition. In
the energy spectra, there exist three different regimes characterized by
Wigner-Dyson, Poisson, and semi-Poisson distributions. This feature implies
that the electron transport in incommensurate multi-walled nanotubes can be
either diffusive, ballistic, or intermediate between them, depending on the
position of the Fermi energy.Comment: final version to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Search for the h_c meson in B^+- ->h_c K^+-
We report a search for the meson via the decay chain , \etac \gamma with and
. No significant signals are observed. We obtain upper limits on the
branching fractions for in bins of the
invariant mass. The results are based on an analysis of 253
fb of data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB
collider.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Evidence for CP Violation in B0 -> D+D- Decays
We report measurements of the branching fraction and CP violation parameters
in B0 -> D+D- decays. The results are based on a data sample that contains 535
x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle
detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We obtain [1.97 +- 0.20
(stat) +- 0.20 (syst)] x 10^(-4) for the branching fraction of B0 -> D+D-. The
measured values of the CP violation parameters are: S = -1.13 +- 0.37 +- 0.09,
A = 0.91 +- 0.23 +- 0.06, where the first error is statistical and the second
is systematic. We find evidence of CP violation in B0 -> D+D- at the 4.1 sigma
confidence level. While the value of S is consistent with expectations from
other measurements, the value of the parameter A favors large direct CP
violation at the 3.2 sigma confidence level, in contradiction to Standard Model
expectations.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, submitted to PR
Study of the Baryon-Antibaryon Low-Mass Enhancements in Charmless Three-body Baryonic B Decays
The angular distributions of the baryon-antibaryon low-mass enhancements seen
in the charmless three-body baryonic B decays B+ -> p pbar K+, B0 -> p pbar Ks,
and B0 -> p Lambdabar pi- are reported. A quark fragmentation interpretation is
supported, while the gluonic resonance picture is disfavored. Searches for the
Theta+ and Theta++ pentaquarks in the relevant decay modes and possible
glueball states G with 2.2 GeV/c2 < M-ppbar < 2.4 GeV/c2 in the ppbar systems
give null results. We set upper limits on the products of branching fractions,
B(B0 -> Theta+ p)\times B(Theta+ -> p Ks) Theta++
pbar) \times B(Theta++ -> p K+) G K+) \times
B(G -> p pbar) < 4.1 \times 10^{-7} at the 90% confidence level. The analysis
is based on a 140 fb^{-1} data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance
with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figure files, update of hep-ex/0409010 for journal

Precision measurement of charged pion and kaon differential cross sections in electron-positron annihilation at Q = 10.52 GeV
Measurements of inclusive differential cross sections for charged pion and
kaon production in electron-positron annihilation have been carried out at a
center-of-mass energy of Q = 10.52 GeV. The measurements were performed with
the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider using a data sample
containing 113 million e+e- -> qqbar events, where q={u,d,s,c}. We present
charge-integrated differential cross sections d\sigma_h+-/dz for h+- = pi+-,
K+- as a function of the relative hadron energy z = 2*E_h / sqrt{s} from 0.2 to
0.98. The combined statistical and systematic uncertainties for pi+- (K+-) are
4% (4%) at z ~ 0.6 and 15% (24%) at z ~ 0.9. The cross sections are the first
measurements of the z-dependence of pion and kaon production for z > 0.7 as
well as the first precision cross section measurements at a center-of-mass
energy far below the Z^0 resonance used by the experiments at LEP and SLC.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. Ancillary file including all cross section and
uncertainty values with 10 pages, 5 figure
