A Measurement of D+ and D(s) Production in e+ e- Annihilation at s** 1/2 = 29 GeV
- SLAC
Measurements have been made of the production rates of D{sup +} and D{sub s} mesons via the channels D{sup +}-{bar K}*{sup 0} {ell}{sup +}{nu}{sub {ell}} and D{sub s} {yields} {phi}{pi} in e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation at {radical}s = 29 GeV in 220 pb{sup -1} of data collected by the Mark II detector. The measurements assume the current branching ratios, measured predominantly at {radical}s {approx_equal} 10 GeV and by fixed target experiments. Measurements of the total production cross-sections times the appropriate branching ratios, which are independent of any other measurements, and an upper limit for the ratio of branching ratios, {Lambda}(D{sub s} {yields} {phi}{ell}{bar {nu}}{sub {ell}})/{Lambda}(D{sub s} {yields} {phi}{pi}) < .74 at 90% confidence level are presented. It is found that the production cross-section of D{sup +} mesons is {sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} D{sup +}X) = .24 {+-} .06 {+-} .04 nb while the production cross-section for D{sub s} mesons is {sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -} {yields} D{sub s}X) = .10 {+-} .04 {+-} .03 nb. This corresponds to .23 {+-} .06 {+-} D{sup +}/hadronic event and .09 {+-} .04 {+-} .02 D{sub s}/hadronic event.
