Search for flavor-changing neutral currents and lepton-family-number violation in two-body D0 decays

Results of a search for the three neutral charm decays, D0 -> mu e, D0 -> mu mu, and D0 -> e e, are presented. This study was based on data collected in Experiment 789 at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory using 800 GeV/c proton-Au and proton-Be interactions. No evidence is found for any of the decays. Upper limits on the branching ratios, at the 90% confidence level, are obtained.

Probing u-bar/d-bar Asymmetry in the Proton via Quarkonium Production

The sensitivity of proton-induced $J/ψ$ and $Υ$ production to the possible $\bar u/\bar d$ asymmetry in the nucleon is studied. The ratio of the quarkonium production cross sections at large $x_F$ on hydrogen over deuterium targets, $σ(p+p) / σ(p+d)$, is shown to be sensitive to this asymmetry. Predictions of various theoretical models for this ratio are presented.

Probing u-bar/d-bar Asymmetry in the Proton via W and Z Production

The sensitivity of $W$ and $Z$ production at RHIC to the possible $\bar u/\bar d$ asymmetry in the proton is studied. The ratios of the $W^+$ over $W^-$ production cross sections in $p + p$ collision, as well as the ratios of the $W^+$ and $Z$ production cross sections for $p + p$ over $p + d$ collisions, are shown to be sensitive to this asymmetry. Predictions of various theoretical models for these ratios are presented.
