Download or read book Charmed Meson Production and Decay Properties at the Psi(3770). written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remeasurement of the resonance near E/sub cm/ = 3.77 GeV in the ee− annihilation is presented. The properties of the resonance are used to deduce branching fractions of charmed mesons into hadronic final states. Several previously unseen decay modes are reported. Decays into Cabibbo suppressed final states are observed. The inclusive properties of D meson decays are studied, including strangeness and charged particle multiplicity. The semileptonic branching fractions for D° and D/sup -+/ are measured, providing a determination of the relative lifetimes of these particles.
