    Study of charmonia in four-meson final states produced in two-photon collisions

    Get PDF
    We report measurements of charmonia produced in two-photon collisions and decaying to four-meson final states, where the meson is either a charged pion or a charged kaon. The analysis is based on a 395fb^{-1} data sample accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. We observe signals for the three C-even charmonia eta_c(1S), chi_{c0}(1P) and chi_{c2}(1P) in the pi^+pi^-pi^+pi^-, K^+K^-pi^+pi^- and K^+K^-K^+K^- decay modes. No clear signals for eta_c(2S) production are found in these decay modes. We have also studied resonant structures in charmonium decays to two-body intermediate meson resonances. We report the products of the two-photon decay width and the branching fractions, Gamma_{gamma gamma}B, for each of the charmonium decay modes.Comment: 22 pages, 12 figure

    The cross sections for e+eϕπ+πe^+ e^- \to \phi\pi^+\pi^- and e^+ e^- \to \phi \fzero are measured from threshold to s=3.0\sqrt{s}=3.0 GeV\hbox{GeV} using initial state radiation. The analysis is based on a data sample of 673 fb1^{-1} collected on and below the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider. First measurements are reported for the resonance parameters of the ϕ(1680)\phi(1680) in the ϕπ+π\phi\pi^+\pi^- mode: m=(1689±7±10)m=(1689\pm 7\pm 10) MeV/c2c^2 and Γ=(211±14±19)\Gamma=(211\pm 14\pm 19) MeV/c2c^2. A structure at s=2.1GeV/c2\sqrt{s}=2.1 \hbox{GeV}/c^2, corresponding to the so called Y(2175), is observed; its mass and width are determined to be 2079±1328+792079\pm13^{+79}_{-28} MeV/c2c^2 and 192±2361+25MeV/c2192\pm23^{+25}_{-61} \hbox{MeV}/c^2, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures.

    Search for new charmonium states in the processes e+ e- --> J/psi D(*) D(*) at sqrt{s} ~ 10.6 GeV

    Full text link
    We present a study of the X(3940) state in the process e+e- -> J/psi D* Dbar. The X(3940) mass and width are measured to be (3942 +7 -6 +- 6)MeV/c^2 and Gamma=(37 + 26 - 15 +- 8 MeV. In the process e+e- -> J/psi D* D*bar we have observed another charmonium-like state, which we denote as X(4160), in the spectrum of invariant masses of D*+ D*- combinations. The X(4160) parameters are M= 4156 + 25 - 20 +- 15 MeV/c^2 and Gamma = 139 + 111 -61 +- 21 MeV. The analysis is based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 693 /fb recorded near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ e- asymmetric-energy collider.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures Contribution paper for conferences EPS2007 and Lepton Photon 2007, Belle-Conference-070

    Measurement of CP asymmetry in Cabibbo suppressed D0 decays

    Full text link
    We measure the CP-violating asymmetries in decays to the D0 -> K+K- and D0 -> pi+pi- CP eigenstates using 540 fb^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. Cabibbo-favored D0 -> K-pi+ decays are used to correct for systematic detector effects. The results, A_{CP}^{KK} = (-0.43 +- 0.30 +- 0.11)% and A_{CP}^{pipi} = (+0.43 +- 0.52 +- 0.12)%, are consistent with no CP violation.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Lett.

    Study of B^{+-} -> K^{+-}(K_S K pi)^0 Decay and Determination of eta_c and eta_c(2S) Parameters

    We report the results of a study of B±K±ηcB^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c and B±K±ηc(2S)B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c(2S) decays followed by ηc\eta_c and ηc(2S)\eta_c(2S) decays to (KSKπ)0(K_SK\pi)^0. The results are obtained from a data sample containing 535 million BBˉB\bar{B}-meson pairs collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+ee^+e^- collider. We measure the products of the branching fractions B(B±K±ηc)B(ηcKSK±π)=(26.7±1.4(stat)2.6+2.9(syst)±4.9(model))×106{\mathcal B}(B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c){\mathcal B}(\eta_c\to K_S K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})=(26.7\pm 1.4(stat)^{+2.9}_{-2.6}(syst)\pm 4.9(model))\times 10^{-6} and B(B±K±ηc(2S))B(ηc(2S)KSK±π)=(3.41.5+2.2(stat+model)0.4+0.5syst))×106{\mathcal B}(B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c(2S)){\mathcal B}(\eta_c(2S)\to K_S K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})=(3.4^{+2.2}_{-1.5}(stat+model)^{+0.5}_{-0.4} syst))\times 10^{-6}. Interference with the non-resonant component leads to significant model uncertainty in the measurement of these product branching fractions. Our analysis accounts for this interference and allows the model uncertainty to be reduced. We also obtain the following charmonia masses and widths: M(ηc)=(2985.4±1.5(stat)2.0+0.5(syst))M(\eta_c)=(2985.4\pm 1.5(stat)^{+0.5}_{-2.0}(syst)) MeV/c2c^2, Γ(ηc)=(35.1±3.1(stat)1.6+1.0(syst))\Gamma(\eta_c)=(35.1\pm 3.1(stat)^{+1.0}_{-1.6}(syst)) MeV/c2c^2, M(ηc(2S))=(3636.14.2+3.9(stat+model)2.0+0.7(syst))M(\eta_c(2S))=(3636.1^{+3.9}_{-4.2}(stat+model)^{+0.7}_{-2.0}(syst)) MeV/c2c^2, Γ(ηc(2S))=(6.65.1+8.4(stat+model)0.9+2.6(syst))\Gamma(\eta_c(2S))=(6.6^{+8.4}_{-5.1}(stat+model)^{+2.6}_{-0.9}(syst)) MeV/c2c^2.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, submitted to PL
