Measurement of and determination of the decay constant f

Abstract: We have observed 23.2±6.0 +1.0 −0.9 purely-leptonic decays of D + s → µ + ν µ from a sample of muonic one prong decay events detected in the emulsion target of Fermilab experiment E653. Using the D + s → φµ + ν µ yield measured previously in this experiment,03. In addition, we extract the decay constant f Ds = 194 ± 35 ± 20 ± 14 M eV .

It is based on the direct observation of D ( * ) s produced in antineutrino induced diffractive interactions and a topological selection of the events which improves the purity of the sample used for the normalisation.…”

“…These experiments used the datasets taken around 3.773 GeV, except for the BESI experiment at 4.03 GeV. Meanwhile, experimental studies of D + s → + ν have been performed by the fixed-target experiments (CERN WA75 [12] Fermilab E653 [13] and CERN WA92 [14]); using Z 0 decays at 91 GeV (L3 [15], OPAL [16] and ALEPH [17]); using B decays produced around ϒ(4S) and ϒ(5S) (CLEO [18], Belle [19,20] and BaBar [21]) and using…”
