Relative yield of charged and neutral heavy meson pairs in e+ e- annihilation near threshold
Abstract
The subject of the charged-to-neutral yield ratio for B B and D Dpairs near their respective thresholds in e+e- annihilation is revisited. As previously argued for the B mesons, this ratio should exhibit a substantial variation across the Upsilon(4S) resonance due to interference of the resonance scattering phase with the Coulomb interaction between the charged mesons. A simple alternative derivation of the expression describing this effect is presented here, and the analysis is extended to include the D meson production in the region of the psi(3770) resonance. The available data on Kaon production at the phi(1020) resonance are also discussed in connection with the expected variation of the charged-to-neutral yield ratio.
