Search For T Violation In Charm Meson Decays, Abaz Kryemadhi
Educator Scholarship & Departmental Newsletters
Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment, we have searched for T violation in charm meson decays using the four-body decay channels D0→K−K+π−π+, D+→KS0K+π−π+, and Ds+→KS0K+π−π+. The T violation asymmetry is obtained using triple-product correlations and assuming the validity of the CPT theorem. We find the asymmetry values to be ATviol(D0)=0.010±0.057(stat.)±0.037(syst.), ATviol(D+)=0.023±0.062(stat.)±0.022(syst.), and ATviol(Ds+)=−0.036±0.067(stat.)±0.023(syst.). Each measurement is consistent with no T violation. New measurements of the CP asymmetries for some of these decay modes are also presented.

Educator Scholarship & Departmental Newsletters
Using data from the FOCUS experiment (FNAL–E831), we study the decay of Λc+ baryons into final states containing a Λ hyperon. The branching fractions of Λc+ into Λπ+, Λπ+π+π− and ΛK¯0K+ relative to that into pK−π+ are measured to be 0.217±0.013±0.020, 0.508±0.024±0.024 and 0.142±0.018±0.022, respectively. We also report new measurements of Γ(Λc+→Σ0π+)Γ(Λc+→Λπ+)=1.09±0.11±0.19, Γ(Λc+→Σ0π+π+π−)Γ(Λc+→Λπ+π+π−)=0.26±0.06±0.09 and Γ(Λc+→Ξ(1690)0(ΛK¯0)K+)Γ(Λc+→ΛK¯0K+)=0.32±0.10±0.04. Further, an analysis of the subresonant structure for the Λc+→Λπ+π+π− decay mode is presented.

Measurement Of The Branching Ratio Of The Decay D0→Π−Μ+Ν Relative To D0→K−Μ+Ν, Abaz Kryemadhi
Educator Scholarship & Departmental Newsletters
We present a new measurement of the branching ratio of the Cabibbo suppressed decay D0→π−μ+ν relative to the Cabibbo favored decay D0→K−μ+ν and an improved measurement of the ratio |f+π(0)/f+K(0)|. Our results are 0.074±0.008±0.007 for the branching ratio and 0.85±0.04±0.04±0.01 for the form factor ratio, respectively.
