On a CP Anisotropy Measurement in the Dalitz Plot

We describe a novel use of the Dalitz plot to probe CP symmetry in three-body modes of $B$ and $D$ mesons. It is based on an observable inspired by astronomers' practice, namely the significance in the difference between corresponding Dalitz plot bins. It provides a model independent mapping of local CP asymmetries. We illustrate the method for probing CP symmetry in the complementary cases of B decays, where sizable or even large effects can be expected, yet have to be differentiated against leading Standard Model contributions, and $D$ decays, where one cannot count on sizable effects, yet has to deal with much less Standard Model background.

A nonextensive thermodynamical equilibrium approach in $e^+ e^- \to hadrons$

We show that the inclusion of long distance effect, expected in strong interactions, through a nonextensive thermodynamical approach is able to explain the experimental distribution of the transverse momentum of the hadrons with respect to the jet axis ($p_{t}$) $e^+ e^- \to hadron$ reaction. The observed deviation from the exponential behavior, predicted by the Boltzmann-Gibbs thermodynamical treatment, is automatically recovered by the nonextensive Tsallis statistics used here. We fitted the observed $p_{t}$ spectrum in the range of 14 GeV to 161 GeV and obtained, besides a good fit, the theoretical important fact that the temperature becomes independent of the primary energy.

Procedure for direct measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle $γ$

A natural procedure is presented to measure the angle $γ$ from the decay $B^{\pm} \to π^{\pm}π^+π^-$. It is based in the Dalitz plot fitting analysis. Neither amplitudes nor strong phases have to be known a priori. We present simulations of this decay computing both statistical and theoretical uncertainties and analyze the experimental feasibility. We found that $γ$ could be measured with a combined error of the order of 20$^o$ with 90% of CL after about a couple of years of running of the first generation of B factories.

On the Dalitz Plot Approach in Non-leptonic Charm Meson Decays

We claim that the non-resonant contribution to non-leptonic charm meson decays may not be constant in the phase space of the reaction. We argue that this can be relevant for any weak reaction. We discuss in detail the decay $D^+ \to K^- π^+ π^+$.

Asymmetries between the production of D+ and D- mesons from 500 GeV/c pi- nucleon interactions as a function of xF and pt**2

We present asymmetries between the production of D+ and D- mesons in Fermilab experiment E791 as a function of xF and pt**2. The data used here consist of 74,000 fully-reconstructed charmed mesons produced by a 500 GeV/c pi- beam on C and Pt foils. The measurements are compared to results of models which predict differences between the production of heavy-quark mesons that have a light quark in common with the beam (leading particles) and those that do not (non-leading particles). While the default models do not agree with our data, we can reach agreement with one of them, PYTHIA, by making a limited number of changes to parameters used.
