Recent Bes Results on psi(3770) and D Meson Production and Decay

Abstract

Using a data sample of 17.7 $\rm pb^{-1}$ collected at 3.773 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC, the cross sections for $D^0 \bar D^{0}$ and $D^+D^-$ productions at 3.773 GeV have been measured. From the data sample about 33 $\rm pb^{-1}$ taken around 3.773 GeV, 3 purely leptonic decay events of $D^+ \to \mu^+\nu$ are observed. The branching fraction and the decay constant are measured to be $BF(D^+ \to \mu^+\nu)=(0.120^{+0.092+0.010}_{-0.063-0.009}) %$ and $f_D=(365^{+121+32}_{-113-28})$ MeV. The semileptonic decay branching fractions for $D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu$, $D^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu$ and $D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu$ are measured to be $BF(D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e)=(3.52 \pm 0.36\pm 0.25)%$, $BF(D^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu_e)=(0.36 \pm 0.14\pm 0.03)%$ and $BF(D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu_e)=(8.64 \pm 1.51\pm 0.72)%$. The vector form factors are determined to be $|f^K_+(0)| = 0.75 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.03$ and $|f^{\pi}_+(0)| = 0.76 \pm 0.15 \pm 0.06$. The ratio of the two form factors is extracted to be $|f^{\pi}_+(0)/f^K_+(0)|= 1.01 \pm 0.20 \pm 0.08$. The ratio of the decay widths is measured to be $\Gamma(D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu)/\Gamma(D^+ \to \bar K^0 e^+\nu) =1.04\pm 0.21 \pm 0.08$. From the data sample of about 27 $\rm pb^{-1}$, the evidence of $\psi(3770) \to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ non-${D \bar D}$ decay is observed. The branching fraction is determined to be $BF(\psi(3770) \to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-)=(0.34\pm 0.14 \pm 0.08)%$, corresponding to the partial width of $\Gamma(\psi(3770) \to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-) = (80 \pm 32 \pm 21)$ keV.
