A Method of Combined D0 and D+ Single and Double Tags to Measure Their Branching Fractions and Its Application

  • A method of combined D0 and D+ single and double tags to measure their branching fractions is reported. With this method, we can measure the inclusive and exclusive branching fractions of D0 and D+ based on the data taken at s=4.03GeV using BES detector at BEPC collider. As well known, it is very difficult to study D physics with the data taken at s=4.03GeV. Compared with the data taken at s=3.77GeV, where it is just at the threshold of the pure pairs of D+D and D0D0 productions. While at s=4.03 GeV D* and D*D* can also be produced and then the so-called contaminated final states D+D0 and DD0 can be produced via the cascade decays of the D*+ to charged and neutral D. This makes some trouble for the study. The key to solve this problem is how to determine the ratios β, which denotes the recoil D0 production agaist the tagged D+, and η, which denotes the recoil D production agaist the tagged D0. We developed the double tag method and single tag method to determine these two parameters, and compared them with cross section method developed by us before. They are consistent with each other within errors, so that the validity of this method was proved. As an example of its application, we set the upper limit for D+→e+ν decay to be Br(D+→e+ν)<1.6% at 90% C. L.. This value is consistent with that BES Collaboration published.

Abstract: A method of combined D0 and D+ single and double tags to measure their branching fractions is reported. With this method, we can measure the inclusive and exclusive branching fractions of D0 and D+ based on the data taken at s=4.03GeV using BES detector at BEPC collider. As well known, it is very difficult to study D physics with the data taken at s=4.03GeV. Compared with the data taken at s=3.77GeV, where it is just at the threshold of the pure pairs of D+D and D0D0 productions. While at s=4.03 GeV D* and D*D* can also be produced and then the so-called contaminated final states D+D0 and DD0 can be produced via the cascade decays of the D*+ to charged and neutral D. This makes some trouble for the study. The key to solve this problem is how to determine the ratios β, which denotes the recoil D0 production agaist the tagged D+, and η, which denotes the recoil D production agaist the tagged D0. We developed the double tag method and single tag method to determine these two parameters, and compared them with cross section method developed by us before. They are consistent with each other within errors, so that the validity of this method was proved. As an example of its application, we set the upper limit for D+→e+ν decay to be Br(D+→e+ν)<1.6% at 90% C. L.. This value is consistent with that BES Collaboration published.
