Item Cross Sections for the Reactions e⁺e⁻ → K⁺ K⁻ π⁺π⁻, K⁺ K⁻ π⁰π⁰, and K⁺ K⁻K⁺ K⁻ Measured Using Initial-State Radiation Events(Amer Physical Soc, 2012-07-26) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Prencipe, E.; Tisserand, V.; Garra Tico, J.; Grauges, E.; Martinelli, M.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.We study the processes e⁺e⁻ → K⁺ K⁻ π⁺π⁻γ, K⁺ K⁻ π⁰π⁰γ, and K⁺ K⁻ K⁺ K⁻ γ, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 84000, 8000, and 4200 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 454 fb⁻¹ of BABAR data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the e⁺e⁻ center-of-mass energy, so that the K⁺ K⁻ π⁺π⁻γ data can be compared with direct measurements of the e⁺e⁻ → K⁺ K⁻ π⁺π⁻ reaction. No direct measurements exist for the e⁺e⁻→ K ⁺K ⁻ π⁰π⁰ or e⁺e⁻ → K⁺ K⁻K⁺ K⁻ - reactions, and we present an update of our previous result based on a data sample that is twice as large. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states and extract their cross sections. In particular, we perform a more detailed study of the e⁺e⁻ → φ(1020)ππγ reaction and confirm the presence of the Y(2175) resonance in the φ(1020)f⁰(980) and K⁺ K⁻ f⁰ (980) modes. In the charmonium region, we observe the J/ψ in all three final states and in several intermediate states, as well as the ψ(2S) in some modes, and measure the corresponding products of branching fraction and electron width.Item Cross sections for the reactions e⁺e⁻→ K_s^0 K_L^0, K_s^0 K_L^0 π⁺π⁻, K_s^0 K_s^0 π⁺π⁻, K_s^0 K_s^0 K⁺ K⁻ from events with initial-state radiation(American Physical Society, 2014-05-06) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.We study the processes e⁺e⁻ → K_s^0 K_L^0γ, K_s^0 K_L^0π⁺π⁻γ, K_s^0 K_s^0 π⁺ π⁻ γ, K_s^0 K_s^0 K⁺ K⁻ γ, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. providing cross section measurements for the hadronic states over a continuum of center-of-mass energies. The results are based on 469 fb−1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at SLAC. We observe the ϕ(1020) resonance in the K_s^0 K_L^0 final state and measure the product of its electronic width and branching fraction with about 3% uncertainty. We present a measurement of the e⁺e⁻ → K_s^0 K_L^0 cross section in the energy range from 1.06 to 2.2 GeV and observe the production of a resonance at 1.67 GeV. We present the first measurements of the e⁺e⁻ → K_s^0 K_L^0 π⁺π⁻ and K_s^0 K_s^0 K⁺ K⁻ cross sections and study the intermediate resonance structures. We obtain the first observations of J/ψ decay to the K_s^0 K_L^0 π⁺π⁻, K_s^0 K_s^0 π⁺π⁻, and K_s^0 K_s^0 K⁺ K⁻ final states.Item Dalitz Plot Analyses of B⁰ → D⁻D⁰K⁺ and B⁺ → D̅⁰D⁰K⁺ Decays(American Physical Society, 2015-03-02) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.We present Dalitz plot analyses for the decays of B mesons to D⁻D⁰K⁺ and D̅⁰D⁰K⁺. We report the observation of the D*{s1} (2700)⁺ resonance in these two channels and obtain measurements of the mass M(D*{s1} (2700)⁺) = 2699{₋₇}⁺¹⁴ MeV/c² and of the width Γ(D*{s1} (2700)⁺) = 127{₋₁₉}⁺²⁴ MeV, including statistical and systematic uncertainties. In addition, we observe an enhancement in the D⁰K⁺ invariant mass around 2350-2500 MeV/c² in both decays B⁰ → D⁻D⁰K⁺ and B⁺ → D̅⁰D⁰K⁺, which we are not able to interpret. The results are based on 429 fb⁻¹ of data containing 471 x10⁶ BB̅ pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.Item Dalitz Plot Analysis of η_c → K⁺K⁻η and η_c → K⁺K⁻π⁰ in Two-Photon Interactions(American Physical Society, 2014-06-16) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.We study the processes γγ→K⁺K⁻η and γγ→K⁺K⁻π⁰ using a data sample of 519 fb⁻¹ recorded with the BABAR detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e⁺e⁻ collider at center-of-mass energies at and near the Υ(nS) (n = 2, 3, 4) resonances. We observe η_c → K⁺K⁻π⁰ and η_c → K⁺K⁻η decays, measure their relative branching fraction, and perform a Dalitz plot analysis for each decay. We observe the K₀*(1430) → K η decay and measure its branching fraction relative to the K π decay mode to be R(K₀*(1430)) = ℬ(K₀*(1430) → K η) / ℬ(K₀*(1430) → K π) = 0.092 ± 0.025_(-0.025)^(+0.010). The η_c → K⁺K⁻η and K₀*(1430) → Kη results correspond to the first observations of these channels. The data also show evidence for η_c(2S) → K⁺K⁻π⁰ and first evidence for η_c(2S) → K⁺K⁻η.Item Electron and Photon Energy Calibration with the ATLAS Detector using LHC Run 1 Data(Springer New York LLC, 2014-10-01) Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; Abdel Khalek, S.; Abdinov, O.; Aben, R.; Abi, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Lou, Xinchou; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; ATLAS Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; Lou, XinchouThis paper presents the electron and photon energy calibration achieved with the ATLAS detector using about 25 fb⁻¹ of LHC proton−proton collision data taken at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 7 and 8 TeV. The reconstruction of electron and photon energies is optimised using multivariate algorithms. The response of the calorimeter layers is equalised in data and simulation, and the longitudinal profile of the electromagnetic showers is exploited to estimate the passive material in front of the calorimeter and reoptimise the detector simulation. After all corrections, the Z resonance is used to set the absolute energy scale. For electrons from Z decays, the achieved calibration is typically accurate to 0.05% in most of the detector acceptance, rising to 0.2% in regions with large amounts of passive material. The remaining inaccuracy is less than 0.2−1% for electrons with a transverse energy of 10 GeV, and is on average 0.3% for photons. The detector resolution is determined with a relative inaccuracy of less than 10% for electrons and photons up to 60 GeV transverse energy, rising to 40% for transverse energies above 500 GeV.Item Evidence for an excess of B̄ → D^(*)_τ⁻ ν̅_τ decays(Amer Physical Soc, 2012-09-06) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Garra Tico, J.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.Based on the full BABAR data sample, we report improved measurements of the ratios R(D^( *) = ℬ(B̄→D^( *)τ -ν {̄τ}) / ℬ(B̄→D^( *)ℓe̅ν ̅ℓ), where ℓ is either e or μ. These ratios are sensitive to new physics contributions in the form of a charged Higgs boson. We measure R(D*) = 0.440 ± 0.058 ± 0.042 and R(D*) = 0.332 ± 0.024 ± 0.018, which exceed the standard model expectations by 2.0σ and 2.7σ, respectively. Taken together, our results disagree with these expectations at the 3.4σ level. This excess cannot be explained by a charged Higgs boson in the type II two-Higgs-doublet model.Item Measurement of Initial-State-Final-State Radiation Interference in the Processes e⁺e⁻ → μ⁺μ⁻γ and e⁺e⁻ → π⁺π⁻γ(2015-10-28) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, XinchouCharge asymmetry in the processes e⁺e⁻ → μ⁺μ⁻γ and e⁺e⁻ → π⁺π⁻γ is measured using 232 fb⁻¹ of data collected with the BABAR detector at e⁺e⁻ center-of-mass energies near 10.58 GeV. An observable is introduced and shown to be very robust against detector asymmetries while keeping a large sensitivity to the physical charge asymmetry that results from the interference between initial-and final-state radiation (FSR). The asymmetry is determined as a function of the invariant mass of the final-state tracks from production threshold to a few GeV/c². It is compared to the expectation from QED for e⁺e⁻ → μ⁺μ⁻γ, and from theoretical models for e⁺e⁻ → π⁺π⁻γ. A clear interference pattern is observed in e⁺e⁻ → π⁺π⁻γ, particularly in the vicinity of the f₂(1270) resonance. The inferred rate of lowest-order FSR production is consistent with the QED expectation for e⁺e⁻ → μ⁺μ⁻γ, and is negligibly small for e⁺e⁻ → π⁺π⁻γ.Item Measurement of the Absolute Branching Fraction for Λ_c⁺ → Λe⁺ν_e(Amer Physical Soc, 2015-11-25) Ablikim, M.; Achasov, M. N.; Ai, X. C.; Albayrak, O.; Albrecht, M.; Ambrose, D. J.; Amoroso, A.; Lou, Xinchou; BESIII Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); Lou, XinchouWe report the first measurement of the absolute branching fraction for Λ_c⁺. This measurement is based on 567 pb⁻¹ of e⁺e⁻ annihilation data produced at √s = 4.599 GeV, which is just above the Λ_c⁺ Λ̅_c̅ threshold. The data were collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings. The branching fraction is determined to be ℬ(Λ_c⁺ → Λe⁺ν_e) = [3.63 ± 0.38(stat) ± 0.20(syst)]%, representing a significant improvement in precision over the current indirect determination. As the branching fraction for Λ_c⁺ → Λe⁺ν_e is the benchmark for those of other Λ_c⁺ semileptonic channels, our result provides a unique test of different theoretical models, which is the most stringent to date.Item Measurement of the Branching Fractions D_s⁺ → η′Χ and D_s^+ → η′ρ⁺ in e⁺e⁻ → D_s^+D_s^-(Elsevier B.V., 2015-11-27) Ablikim, M.; Achasov, M. N.; Ai, X. C.; Albayrak, O.; Albrecht, M.; Ambrose, D. J.; Amoroso, A.; Lou, Xinchou; BESII Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); Lou, XinchouWe study D_s⁺ decays to final states involving the η' with a 482 pb⁻¹ data sample collected at √s = 4.009 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We measure the branching fractions ℬ(D_s⁺ → η'Χ) = (8.8 ± 1.8 ± 0.5)% and ℬ(D_s⁺ → η'ρ⁺) = (5.8 ± 1.4 ± 0.4)% where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, we estimate an upper limit on the non-resonant branching ratio ℬ(D_s⁺ → η'π⁺π⁰) < 5.1% at the 90% confidence level. Our results are consistent with CLEO's recent measurements and help to resolve the disagreement between the theoretical prediction and CLEO's previous measurement of ℬ(D_s⁺ → η'ρ⁺).Item Measurement of the D⁰ → π⁻e⁺ν_e Differential Decay Branching Fraction as a Function of q² and Study of Form Factor Parametrizations(Amer Physical Soc, 2015-03-31) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.Based on a sample of 500 million e⁺e⁻ → cc̅ events recorded by the BABAR detector at c. m. energies of close to 10.6 GeV, we report on a study of the decay D⁰ → π⁻e⁺ν(e⁻). We measure the ratio of branching fractions, R(D) = ℬ(D⁰ → π⁻e⁺ν(e)) / ℬ(D⁰ → K⁻ π⁺) = 0.0713 ± 0.0017(stat) ± 0.0024(syst) and use the present world average for B(D⁰ → K⁻π⁺) to obtain ℬ(D⁰ → π⁻e⁺ν(e)) = (2.770 ± 0.068(stat) ± 0.092(syst) ± 0.037(ext)) x 10⁻³ where the third error accounts for the uncertainty on the branching fraction for the reference channel. The measured dependence of the differential branching fraction on q², the four-momentum transfer squared between the D and the π meson, is compared to various theoretical predictions for the hadronic form factor, (f^(π)(+,D))(q²), and the normalization |V(cd)| x (f^(π)(+,D)(q² = 0) = 0.1374 ± 0.0038(stat) ± 0.0022(syst) ± 0.0009(ext⋅) is extracted from a fit to data. Using the most recent LQCD prediction of (f^(π))(+,D)(q²) = 0) = 0.666 ± 0.029, we obtain |V(cd)| = 0.206 ± 0.007(exp) ± 0.009(LQCD). Assuming, instead, |V(cd)| = |V(us)| = 0.2252 ± 0.0009, we obtain (f^(π))(+,D)(q²) = 0) = 0.610 ± 0.020(exp) ± 0.005(ext⋅). The q² dependence of f^(π)(+,D)(q² = 0) is compared to a variety of multipole parametrizations. This information is applied to B⁰ → π⁻e⁺ν(e) decays and, combined with an earlier B⁰ → π⁻e⁺ν(e) measurement by BABAR, is used to derive estimates of |V(ub)|.Item Measurement of ℬ(ψ(3770) → γχ_{c1}) and Search for ψ(3770) → γχ_{c2}(Amer Physical Soc, 2015-05-26) Ablikim, M.; Achasov, M. N.; Ai, X. C.; Albayrak, O.; Albrecht, M.; Ambrose, D. J.; Amoroso, A.; Lou, Xinchou; BESIII Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); Lou, XinchouWe report a measurement of the branching fraction for ψ(3770) → γχ(c1) and search for the transition ψ(3770) → γχ(c2) based on 2.92 fb⁻¹ of e⁺e⁻ data accumulated at √s = 3.773 GeV with the detector at the BEPCII collider. We measure ℬ(ψ(3770) → γχ(c1)) = (2.48 ± 0.15 ± 0.23) x 10⁻³, which is the most precise measurement to date. The upper limit on the branching fraction of ψ(3770) → γχ(c2) at a 90% confidence level is ℬ(ψ(3770) → γχ(c2)) γχ(c1)) = (67.5 ± 4.1 ± 6.7) keV and γ(ψ(3770) → γ χ(c2)) < 17.4 keV.Item Measurements of the W Production Cross Sections in Association with Jets with the ATLAS Detector(Springer, 2015-02-19) Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; Abdel Khalek, S.; Abdinov, O.; Aben, R.; Abi, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Lou, Xinchou; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; ATLAS Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; Lou, XinchouThis paper presents cross sections for the production of a W boson in association with jets, measured in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the large hadron collider. With an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb⁻¹, this data set allows for an exploration of a large kinematic range, including jet production up to a transverse momentum of 1 TeV and multiplicities up to seven associated jets. The production cross sections for W bosons are measured in both the electron and muon decay channels. Differential cross sections for many observables are also presented including measurements of the jet observables such as the rapidities and the transverse momenta as well as measurements of event observables such as the scalar sums of the transverse momenta of the jets. The measurements are compared to numerous QCD predictions including next-to-leading-order perturbative calculations, resummation calculations and Monte Carlo generators.Item Observation of Top-Quark Pair Production in Association with a Photon and Measurement of the tt̅γ Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV Using the ATLAS Detector(Amer Physical Soc, 2015-04-01) Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; Abdel Khalek, S.; Abdinov, O.; Aben, R.; Abi, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Lou, Xinchou; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; ATLAS Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; Lou, XinchouA search is performed for top-quark pairs tt̅ produced together with a photon (γ) with transverse energy greater than 20 GeV using a sample of tt̅ candidate events in final states with jets, missing transverse momentum, and one isolated electron or muon. The data set used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.59 fb⁻¹ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In total, 140 and 222 tt̅γ candidate events are observed in the electron and muon channels, to be compared to the expectation of 79 ± 26 and 120 ± 39 non-tt̅γ background events, respectively. The production of tt̅γ events is observed with a significance of 5.3 standard deviations away from the null hypothesis. The tt̅γ production cross section times the branching ratio (BR) of the single-lepton decay channel is measured in a fiducial kinematic region within the ATLAS acceptance. The measured value is σ {_(tt̅γ)^(fid)} x BR = 63 ± 8(stat){_(-13)^(+17) (syst) ± 1(lumi) fb per lepton flavor, in good agreement with the leading-order theoretical calculation normalized to the next-to-leading-order theoretical prediction of 48 ± 10 fb.Item Search for a Light Higgs Resonance in Radiative Decays of the ϒ(1S) with a Charm Tag(American Physical Society, 2015-04-10) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.A search is presented for the decay ϒ(1S)→γA⁰, A⁰→cc̅, where A⁰ is a candidate for the CP-odd Higgs boson of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. The search is based on data collected with the BABAR detector at the ϒ(2S) resonance. A sample of ϒ(1S) mesons is selected via the decay ϒ(2S)→π⁺π⁻ ϒ(1S). The A⁰→cc̅ decay is identified through the reconstruction of hadronic D⁰, D⁺, and D∗(2010)+ meson decays. No significant signal is observed. The measured 90% confidence-level upper limits on the product branching fraction ℬ(ϒ(1S)→γA⁰) × ℬ(A⁰→cc̅) range from 7.4×10⁻⁵ to 2.4×10⁻³ for A⁰ masses from 4.00 to 8.95 GeV/c² and 9.10 to 9.25GeV/c², where the region between 8.95 and 9.10 GeV/c² is excluded because of background from ϒ(2S)→γχbJ(1P), χbJ(1P)→γϒ(1S) decays.Item Search for Dark Matter in Events with Heavy Quarks and Missing Transverse Momentum in pp Collisions with the ATLAS Detector(Springer, 2015-02-24) Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; Abdel Khalek, S.; Abdinov, O.; Aben, R.; Abi, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Lou, Xinchou; Meirose, Bernhard; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; ATLAS Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Izen, Joseph M.; Leyton, Michael; Meirose, Bernhard; Namasivayam, Harisankar; Reeves, Kendall; Lou, XinchouThis article reports on a search for dark matter pair production in association with bottom or top quarks in 20.3 fb⁻¹ of pp collisions collected at √s = 8 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with large missing transverse momentum are selected when produced in association with high-momentum jets of which one or more are identified as jets containing b-quarks. Final states with top quarks are selected by requiring a high jet multiplicity and in some cases a single lepton. The data are found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectations and limits are set on the mass scale of effective field theories that describe scalar and tensor interactions between dark matter and Standard Model particles. Limits on the dark-matter-nucleon cross-section for spin-independent and spin-dependent interactions are also provided. These limits are particularly strong for low-mass dark matter. Using a simplified model, constraints are set on the mass of dark matter and of a coloured mediator suitable to explain a possible signal of annihilating dark matter.Item Search for Long-Lived Particles in e⁺e⁻ Collisions(American Physical Society, 2015-04-29) Lees, J. P.; Poireau, V.; Tisserand, V.; Grauges, E.; Palano, A.; Eigen, G.; Stugu, B.; Izen, Joseph M.; Lou, Xinchou; BaBar Collaboration; 56366505900 (Lou, X); 250674117 (Izen, JM); 250674117 (Izen, JM); Lou, Xinchou; Izen, Joseph M.We present a search for a neutral, long-lived particle L that is produced in e⁺e⁻ collisions and decays at a significant distance from the e⁺e⁻ interaction point into various flavor combinations of two oppositely charged tracks. The analysis uses an e⁺e⁻ data sample with a luminosity of 489.1 fb⁻¹ collected by the BABAR detector at the ϒ(4S), ϒ(3S), and ϒ(2S) resonances and just below the ϒ(4S). Fitting the two-track mass distribution in search of a signal peak, we do not observe a significant signal, and set 90% confidence level upper limits on the product of the L production cross section, branching fraction, and reconstruction efficiency for six possible two-body L decay modes as a function of the L mass. The efficiency is given for each final state as a function of the mass, lifetime, and transverse momentum of the candidate, allowing application of the upper limits to any production model. In addition, upper limits are provided on the branching fraction ℬ(B→X₈L), where X₈ is a strange hadronic system.;
