We report some results on charm photoproduction at γ energies ranging from 20 to 70 GeV. 36 events with pairs of charmed particles have been found in emulsions. The computed total cross section is (230±57)nb/nucleon. Frequencies of different production channels and some distributions are presented and compared with the predictions from a photon-gluon fusion model with string fragmentation
A precision measurement of the A 0 lifetime has been made in a helium bubble chamber. An exposure to a stopping K~ beam yielded 2239 A°'s, with a mean momentum of ~250 MeV/c, which satisfied rigorous selection criteria designed to minimize biases. The mean lifetime was found to be r = (2.36±0.06)X10~1 0 sec.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
