Heavy Flavor decays and light hadrons in the FOCUS experiment: recent results (2008)
Malvezzi, Sandra, Collaboration, For The FOCUS
Interpretation of D-meson decay-dynamics has revealed itself to be strongly dependent on our understanding of the light-meson sector. The interplay becomes particularly evident in Dalitz plot...
Study of Cabibbo Suppressed Decays of the Ds Charmed-Strange Meson involving a KS (2007)
Link, J. M., Collaboration, For The FOCUS
We study the decay of Ds meson into final states involving a Ks and report the discovery of Cabibbo suppressed decay modes Ds -> Kspi-pi+pi+ (179 +/- 36 events) and Ds -> Kspi+ (113 +/-26 events)....
$D^0$--$\bar{D}{}^0$ hadronic mixing and DCS decays from FOCUS (2005)
Stenson, Kevin, Collaboration, For The FOCUS
We present an analysis of the decay $D^0 \to K^+\pi^-$ from FOCUS. From a sample of 234 events we find a branching ratio of $\frac{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^+\pi^-)}{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^-\pi^+)} =...
Pentaquark searches at FOCUS (2004)
Stenson, Kevin, Collaboration, For The FOCUS
We find no evidence for high-energy photoproduction of pentaquarks at 1540 MeV/$c^2$, 1862 MeV/$c^2$, or 3099 MeV/$c^2$ using decay modes $pK_S^0$, $\Xi^-\pi^-$, and $D^{(*)-}p$, respectively.
Recent results on charm from E831-FOCUS (2003)
Pedrini, Daniele, Collaboration, For The FOCUS
E831-FOCUS is a photoproduction experiment which collected data during the 1996/1997 fixed target run at Fermilab. More than 1 million charm particles have been reconstructed. Using this sample we...
New Results from the FOCUS/E831 Experiment (2003)
Kim, Doris Yangsoo, Collaboration, For The FOCUS
The E831/FOCUS experiment at Fermilab is a photoproduction experiment which generated high quality charm particles. During its run, we obtained a large data set, including more than 1 million charm...
Study of Hadronic Five-Body Decays of Charmed Mesons (2002)
Wahl, M., Collaboration, For The FOCUS
We study the decay of D+ and Ds+ mesons into charged five body final states, and report the discovery of the decay mode D+ -> K+K-Pi+Pi+Pi-, as well as measurements of the decay modes D+ ->...
