Article: Search for violation in D0 and D+ decays
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay modes D+-->K-K+π+, D0-->K-K+ and D0-->π-π+. We have measured the following CP asymmetry parameters: ACP(K-K+π+)=+0.006+/- 0.011+/-0.005, ACP(K-K+)=-0.001+/-0.022+/-0.015 and ACP(π-π+)=+0.048+/-0.039+/-0.025 where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. These asymmetries are consistent with zero with smaller errors than previous measurements.Physics Letters B 09/2000; 491:232-239. · 3.95 Impact Factor -

[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using a high statistics sample of photoproduced charmed particles from the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab (FNAL-E831), we measure the mass splittings of the charmed baryons Σc0and Σc++. We find M(Σc0- Λc+)=167.38+/-0.21+/-0.13MeV/c2 and M(Σc++- Λc+)=167.35+/-0.19+/-0.12MeV/c2 with samples of 362+/-36 and 461+/-39 events, respectively. We measure the isospin mass splitting M(Σc++-Σc0) to be -0.03+/-0.28+/-0.11MeV/c2. The first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.Physics Letters B 08/2000; 488:218-224. · 3.95 Impact Factor -
Article: A measurement of lifetime differences in the neutral D-meson system
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using a high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab, we compare the lifetimes of neutral D mesons decaying via to measure the lifetime differences between CP even and CP odd final states. These measurements bear on the phenomenology of mixing. If the D0→K−π+ is an equal mixture of CP even and CP odd eigenstates, we measure .Physics Letters B. -
