ABSTRACT: We analyze a sample of 3 million quantum-correlated D0 D0bar pairs from 818
pb^-1 of e+e- collision data collected with the CLEO-c detector at E_cm = 3.77
GeV, to give an updated measurement of \cos\delta and a first determination of
\sin\delta, where \delta is the relative strong phase between doubly
Cabibbo-suppressed D0 --> K+pi- and Cabibbo-favored D0bar --> K+pi- decay
amplitudes. With no inputs from other experiments, we find \cos\delta = 0.81
+0.22+0.07 -0.18-0.05, \sin\delta = -0.01 +- 0.41 +- 0.04, and |\delta| = 10
+28+13 -53-0 degrees. By including external measurements of mixing parameters,
we find alternative values of \cos\delta = 1.15 +0.19+0.00 -0.17-0.08,
\sin\delta = 0.56 +0.32+0.21 -0.31-0.20, and \delta = (18 +11-17) degrees. Our
results can be used to improve the world average uncertainty on the mixing
parameter y by approximately 10%.

ABSTRACT: The first flavor-tagged amplitude analysis of the decay D0 to the
self-conjugate final state K+K-pi+pi- is presented. Data from the CLEO II.V,
CLEO III, and CLEO-c detectors are used, from which around 3000 signal decays
are selected. The three most significant amplitudes, which contribute to the
model that best fits the data, are phirho0, K1(1270)+-K-+, and non-resonant
K+K-pi+pi-. Separate amplitude analyses of D0 and D0-bar candidates indicate no
CP violation among the amplitudes at the level of 5% to 30% depending on the
mode. In addition, the sensitivity to the CP-violating parameter gamma/phi3 of
a sample of 2000 B+ -> D0-tilde(K+K-pi+pi-)K+ decays, where D0-tilde is a D0 or
D0-bar, collected at LHCb or a future flavor facility, is estimated to be (11.3
+/- 0.3) degrees using the favored model.

ABSTRACT: Using a data sample of 2.59×107 ψ(2S) decays obtained with the CLEO-c detector, we perform amplitude analyses of the complementary decay chains ψ(2S)→γχc1; χc1→ηπ+π- and ψ(2S)→γχc1; χc1→η′π+π-. We find evidence for an exotic P-wave η′π amplitude, which, if interpreted as a resonance, would have parameters consistent with the π1(1600) state reported in other production mechanisms. We also make the first observation of the decay a0(980)→η′π and measure the ratio of branching fractions B(a0(980)→η′π)/B(a0(980)→ηπ)=0.064±0.014±0.014. The ππ spectrum produced with a recoiling η is compared to that with η′ recoil.

ABSTRACT: Using the entire CLEO-c psi(3770) to DDbar event sample, corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 818 pb^-1 and approximately 5.4 x 10^6 DDbar events,
we measure the form factors for the decays D0 to rho- e+ nu_e and D+ to rho0 e+
nu_e for the first time and the branching fractions with improved precision. A
four-dimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit determines the form factor
ratios to be: V(0)/A_1(0) = 1.48 +- 0.15 +- 0.05 and A_2(0)/A_1(0)= 0.83 +-
0.11 +- 0.04. Assuming CKM unitarity, the known D meson lifetimes and our
measured branching fractions we obtain the form factor normalizations A_1(0),
A_2(0), and V(0). We also present a measurement of the branching fraction for
D^+ to omega e^+ nu_e with improved precision.

ABSTRACT: We present the results of a Dalitz plot analysis of D0→KS0π0π0 using the CLEO-c data set of 818 pb-1 of e+e- collisions accumulated at √s=3.77 GeV. This corresponds to 3×106 D0D̅ 0 pairs from which we select 1259 tagged candidates with a background of 7.5±0.9 percent. Several models have been explored, all of which include the K*(892), K2*(1430), K*(1680), the f0(980), and the σ(500). We find that the combined π0π0 S-wave contribution to our preferred fit is (28.9±6.3±3.1)% of the total decay rate while D0→K̅ *(892)0π0 contributes (65.6±5.3±2.5)%. Using three tag modes and correcting for quantum correlations we measure the D0→KS0π0π0 branching fraction to be (1.058±0.038±0.073)%.

ABSTRACT: Using a data sample of 2.59 x 10^7 psi(2S) decays obtained with the CLEO-c
detector, we perform amplitude analyses of the complementary decay chains
chi_c1 -> eta pi+ pi- and chi_c1 -> eta' pi+ pi-. We find evidence for a P-wave
eta' pi scattering amplitude, which, if interpreted as a resonance, would have
exotic J^PC = 1^-+ and parameters consistent with the pi_1(1600) state reported
in other production mechanisms. We also make the first observation of the decay
a_0(980) -> eta' pi and measure the ratio of branching fractions B(a_0(980) ->
eta' pi)/B(a_0(980) -> eta pi) = 0.064 +- 0.014 +- 0.014. The pi pi spectrum
produced with a recoiling eta is compared to that with eta' recoil.

ABSTRACT: Using e+e- collision data corresponding to 5.88×106Υ(3S) [25.9×106ψ(2S)] decays and acquired by the CLEO III [CLEO-c] detectors operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we study the single-pion transitions from Υ(3S)[ψ(2S)] to the respective spin-singlet states hb[c]. Utilizing only the momentum of suitably selected transition-π0 candidates, we obtain the upper limit B(Υ(3S)→π0hb)<1.2×10-3 at 90% confidence level, and measure B(ψ(2S)→π0hc)=(9.0±1.5±1.3)×10-4. Signal sensitivities are enhanced by excluding very asymmetric π0→γγ candidates.

ABSTRACT: Using 586 pb(-1) of e+ e- collision data at E(c.m.) = 4170 MeV, produced at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring collider and collected with the CLEO-c detector, we observe the process e+ e- → π+ π- h(c)(1P). We measure its cross section to be 15.6±2.3±1.9±3.0 pb, where the third error is due to the external uncertainty on the branching fraction of ψ(2S) → π0 h(c)(1P), which we use for normalization. We also find evidence for e+ e- → ηh(c)(1P) at 4170 MeV at the 3σ level and see hints of a rise in the e+ e- → π+ π- h(c)(1P) cross section at 4260 MeV.

ABSTRACT: Using e^+e^- collision data corresponding to 5.88M Y(3S) [25.9M psi(2S)]
decays and acquired by the CLEO III [CLEO-c] detectors operating at CESR, we
study the single-pion transitions from Y(3S) [psi(2S)] to the respective

transition-pi^0 candidates, we obtain the upper limit B(Y(3S) -> pi^0 h_b) <

(9.0+-1.5+-1.3)\times 10^{-4}. Signal sensitivities are enhanced by excluding
very asymmetric pi^0 -> gamma gamma candidates.

using the CLEO-c data set of 818 inverse pico-barns of e^+ e^- collisions
accumulated at sqrt{s} = 3.77 GeV. This corresponds to three million D^0

that the combined pi^0 pi^0 S-wave contribution to our preferred fit is (28.9

contributes (65.6 +- 5.3 +- 2.5)%. Using three tag modes and correcting for

ABSTRACT: We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Υ(1S) resonance into a final state consisting of a photon and two KS0 candidates. We find evidence for a signal for Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525); f2′(1525)→γKS0KS0, at a rate B(Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525))=(4.0±1.3±0.6)×10-5, consistent with previous observations of Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525); f2′(1525)→K+K-, and isospin. Combining this branching fraction with existing branching fraction measurements of Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525) and J/ψ→γf2′(1525), we obtain the ratio of branching fractions: B(Υ(1S)→γf2′(1525))/B(J/ψ→γf2′(1525))=0.09±0.02, approximately consistent with expectations based on soft-collinear effective theory.

ABSTRACT: We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S)

f_2'(1525)->K0sK0s, at a rate (4.0+/-1.3+/-0.6)x10^{-5}, consistent with

isospin. Combining this branching fraction with existing branching fraction
measurements of Upsilon(1S)->gamma f_2'(1525) and J/psi->gamma f_2'(1525), we
obtain the ratio of branching fractions: B(Upsilon(1S)->gamma
f_2'(1525))/B(J/psi->gamma f_2'(1525))=0.09+/-0.02, approximately consistent

ABSTRACT: We report the first determination of the relative strong-phase difference between D0→KS,L0K+K- and D̅ 0→KS,L0K+K-. In addition, we present updated measurements of the relative strong-phase difference between D0→KS,L0π+π- and D̅ 0→KS,L0π+π-. Both measurements exploit the quantum coherence between a pair of D0 and D̅ 0 mesons produced from ψ(3770) decays. The strong-phase differences measured are important for determining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle γ/ϕ3 in B-→K-D˜0 decays, where D˜0 is a D0 or D̅ 0 meson decaying to KS0h+h- (h=π, K), in a manner independent of the model assumed to describe the D0→KS0h+h- decay. Using our results, the uncertainty in γ/ϕ3 due to the error on the strong-phase difference is expected to be between 1.7° and 3.9° for an analysis using B-→K-D˜0, D˜0→KS0π+π- decays, and between 3.2° and 3.9° for an analysis based on B-→K-D˜0, D˜0→KS0K+K- decays. A measurement is also presented of the CP-odd fraction, F-, of the decay D0→KS0K+K- in the region of the ϕ→K+K- resonance. We find that in a region within 0.01 GeV2/c4 of the nominal ϕ mass squared F->0.91 at the 90% confidence level.

ABSTRACT: Using 9.32, 5.88 million Upsilon(2S,3S) decays taken with the CLEO-III
detector, we obtain five product branching fractions for the exclusive
processes Upsilon(2S) => gamma chi_{b0,1,2}(1P) => gamma gamma Upsilon(1S) and
Upsilon(3S) => gamma chi_{b1,2}(1P) => gamma gamma Upsilon(1S). We observe the
transition chi_{b0}(1P) => gamma Upsilon(1S) for the first time. Using the
known branching fractions for B[Upsilon(2S) => gamma chi_{bJ}(1P)], we extract
values for B[chi_{bJ}(1P) => gamma Upsilon(1S)] for J=0, 1, 2. In turn, these
values can be used to unfold the Upsilon(3S) product branching fractions to
obtain values for B[Upsilon(3S) => gamma chi_{b1,2}(1P) for the first time
individually. Comparison of these with each other and with the branching
fraction B[Upsilon(3S) => gamma chi_{b0}] previously measured by CLEO provides
tests of relativistic corrections to electric dipole matrix elements.

ABSTRACT: We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D+ and Ds+ mesons to final states of the form h±e∓e+, where h is either π or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 818 pb-1 at the center-of-mass energy ECM=3.774 GeV containing 2.4×106 D+D- pairs and 602 pb-1 at ECM=4.170 GeV containing 0.6×106 Ds*±Ds∓ pairs. No signal is observed in any channel, and we obtain 90% confidence level upper limits on branching fractions B(D+→π+e+e-)<5.9×10-6, B(D+→π-e+e+)<1.1×10-6, B(D+→K+e+e-)<3.0×10-6, B(D+→K-e+e+)<3.5×10-6, B(Ds+→π+e+e-)<2.2×10-5, B(Ds+→π-e+e+)<1.8×10-5, B(Ds+→K+e+e-)<5.2×10-5, and B(Ds+→K-e+e+)<1.7×10-5.

ABSTRACT: The decays of ψ(2S) into γpp¯, π0pp¯,
and ηpp¯ have been studied with the CLEO-c detector using a
sample of 24.5×106 ψ(2S) events obtained from
e+e- annihilations at s=3686MeV. The data show
evidence for the excitation of several N* resonances in
pπ0 and pη channels in π0pp¯ and
ηpp¯ decays, and f2 states in γpp¯ decay.
Branching fractions for decays of ψ(2S) to γpp¯,
π0pp¯, and ηpp¯ have been determined. No
evidence for pp¯ threshold enhancements was found in the reactions
ψ(2S)→Xpp¯, where X=γ, π0, η. We
do, however, find confirming evidence for a pp¯ threshold
enhancement in J/ψ→γpp¯ as previously reported by
BES.
