  1. D Leptonic Decays nearProduction ThresholdSteven BluskSyracuse University(on behalf of the CLEO Collaboration) CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  2. Introduction: D +n or cs (s) • Partial width measurement probes the hadronic vertex • Soft-gluon effects  Non-perturbative QCD • Decay constant, fDdescribes the hadronic vertex, and is proportional to the wave-function overlap (Prob  cd(s)W annihilation) • General solution (SM) for partial width _ Calculate, or measure if VQq known CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  3. Leptonic Decays in SM • Measurement provides critical test of theory to compute fB, fBs. • In a few years, we will have a precision measurement (~5o)of g(f3) by LHCb. • Expect s(g)~5owith 2 fb-1 • Could provide signsof NP if g measurementdoesn’t coincide withDm(s,d) band. • B t+n gives VubfB, buthard to measure directly. Constraints from Vub, Dmd, Dms & B t+n CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  4. New Physics in D(s) leptonic decays • Interference between H± and W± suppresses Dsln, but NOT Dln Akeroyd, hep-ph/0308260 • Deviations from lepton universality possible if tanb large Hewett [hep-ph/9505246] & Hou, PRD 48, 2342 (1993). Deviations of this ratio from SM value of 9.72 would signal New Physics CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  5. D and Ds Landscape near threshold • Produce DD at y(3770). • No additional particles • Coherent 1– state • Ideal for absolute BF measurements • Measurements from 281 pb-1(Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 251801 (2005)) • Not reviewed in this talk • Ds Leptonic Decays • Dedicated scan to find optimal energyfor Ds physics (see talk by B. Lang) • At Ecm = 4170 MeV s(DsDs*)~0.9 nb • Additional photon, ~100 MeV to contend with. CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  6. Reconstructed Ds “Tags” at 4170 MeV • Leptonic analyses requireone fully reconstructed Dsdecay (“tag”). • 8 tag modes • Signal region: • |Mrec-MDs| < 2.5 s • Sidebands: • 5.0<|Mrec-MDs| < 7.5 s • Total # of Tags = 31,302 ± 472 (stat) K*K* from KsK-p+p+ CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

MM2 from CLEO-c Data EtrkCC < 0.3 GeV in CC Return to 3 separate cases: • EtrkCC<300 MeV • “Dmn-like”: (e~99%)-0.05<MM2<0.05 GeV2 • “Dtn(tpn)-like”:(e~60%)0.05<MM2<0.20 GeV2 • EtrkCC>300 MeV • “Dtn(tpn)-like”:(e~40%)-0.05<MM2<0.20 GeV2 • Electron-like 92 events 31 events EtrkCC > 0.3 GeV in CC 25 events Electron Sample CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  13. Backgrounds • Combinatoric background under peaks:Use Ds cand. mass sidebands • Dstn backgrounds from real DS decays Signal region Low SB region High SB region Negligible real Ds decay background to Dsmn Since B(Ds p+p0) <1.1x10-3 @ 90% CL CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  14. Branching fractions B(DS+→m+n) • Ntag =18645±426±1081 • = efficiency for reconstructing m+/p+ = 80.1% • m = efficiency for ECC<300 MeV + |MM2|<50 MeV = 91.4% • t = efficiency for ECC<300 MeV(60%) + |MM2|<50 MeV(13%) = 13.2% Nmn = 92 – (3.5±1.4) = 88.5±9.7 B(DS+→m+n) = (0.597±0.067±0.039)% B(DS+→t+n) B(DS+→t+n) = (8.0±1.3±0.4)% CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007

  17. Weighted Average: fDs=275±10±5 MeV, the (systematic errors are mostly uncorrelated between the measurements) Previously CLEO-c measured M. Artuso et al., Phys .Rev. Lett. 95 (2005) 251801 Thus fDs/fD+=1.24±0.10±0.03 G(DS+→t+n)/G (DS+→m+n)= 11.5±2.0, SM=9.72, consistent with lepton universality Combined results D+→m+n 281 pb-1at y(3770) K0p+ m+n CHARM 2007, Cornell University, Aug. 5-8, 2007
