First Measurement Of T-Odd Moments In D^{0}→K_{S}^{0}Π^{+}Π^{-}Π^{0} Decays, K. Pransanth Et Al., D. Joffe, Ratnappuli L. Kulasiri

We report the first measurement of the T-odd moments in the decay D0→K0Sπ+π−π0 from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 966 fb−1 collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. From these moments we determine the CP-violation-sensitive asymmetry aT-oddCP=[−0.28±1.38(stat.)+0.23−0.76(syst.)]×10−3, which is consistent with no CP violation. In addition, we perform aT−oddCP measurements in different regions of the D0→K0Sπ+π−π0 phase space; these are also consistent with no CP violation.


Heavy-Flavor Production At Accelerators, Nikolaos Kidonakis Aug 2009

Heavy-Flavor Production At Accelerators, Nikolaos Kidonakis

Faculty Articles

I discuss heavy flavor production at hadronic facilities. I present total cross sections and differential distributions for top quark, bottom quark, and charm quark production at the rrevatron and LHC colliders, and at fixed-target experiments such as HERA-B. The calculations include complete next-to-leading order corrections as well as higher-order soft-gluon corrections which are important near kinematical threshold.
