Recent results from SPEAR

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5065464
Recent experimental results on electron--positron annihilation reactions are presented. Included are the observation of a new resonance in e/sup +/e/sup -/ ..-->.. hadrons. This new state occurs at a cms energy of 3772 MeV and is called PSI (3772). This new particle is a copious and clean source of charmed D mesons. Results are given based on this reaction, on measurements of the D/sup 0/ and D/sup +/ masses accurate to better than 1 MeV, on the observation of a new decay mode D/sup +-/ ..-->.. K/sub s/..pi../sup +-/, and on D production angular distribution. Also the production of anomalous electrons are discussed. The multiprong sample is used to derive a value for the semi-leptonic branching ratio of the D meson. 33 references (JFP)
