Measurements of B decays to two kaons.

چکیده
We report measurements of B meson decays to two kaons using 253 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+ e- collider. We find evidence for signals in B+ --> K0 K+ and B0 --> K0 K0 with significances of 3.0sigma and 3.5sigma, respectively. (Charge-conjugate modes are included.) The corresponding branching fractions are measured to be [symbol: see text](B+ --> K0 K+) = (1.0 +/- 0.4 +/- 0.1) x 10(-6) and [symbol: see text](B0 --> K0 K0) = (0.8 +/- 0.3 +/- 0.1) x 10(-6). These decay modes are examples of hadronic bd transitions. No signal is observed in the decay B0 --> K+ K-, and we set an upper limit of 3.7 x 10(-7) at 90% confidence level.

Decay Studies at SLD ∗
We present three preliminary results from SLD on B decays: an inclusive search for the process b → s gluon, a measurement of the branching ratio for the process B → D ¯ DX, and measurements of the charged and neutral B lifetimes. All three measurements make use of the excellent vertexing efficiency and resolution of the CCD Vertex Detector and the first two make use of the excellent particle id...
متن کاملKaons and Hyperons rare decays by the NA48 experiment at CERN
Neutral Kaons were the place where CP violation was discovered for the first time [1]. Forty years after that discovery, kaons are still a privileged system where quarks coupling can be studied. The CKM quark mixing matrix [2] structure is usually addressed through the so-called unitarity triangle [3]. The very popular picture of this triangle based on measurements coming from B mesons decays a...
متن کاملReview of the NA48 CP violation measurements with neutral and charged kaons
The main results on the CP violation measurements with neutral and charged kaons from the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS are reviewed in this paper. The direct CP violating parameter Re(ε′/ε) has been measured by NA48 from the decay rates of neutral kaons into pion pairs. The final result, based on the data collected in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2001, clearly established the existence of direct CP ...

متن کاملPhenomenology of Neutral D − meson Decays and Double - Flavor Oscillations 1 Ya
Decays of neutral D-mesons are considered phenomenologically without invoking any particular models. Special attention is given to cascade decays with intermediate neutral kaons where coherent double-flavor oscillations (CDFO) become possible. We show necessity and unique possibilities of experiments on CDFO. They allow to relate with each other widths and masses of D-meson eigenstates, to sepa...
