Measuring beta(D+->mu(+)nu) and the pseudoscalar decay constant fD+ Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In 60 pb-1 of data taken on the (3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector, we find eight D+ + decay candidates that are mostly signal, containing only one estimated background. Using this statistically compelling sample, we measure a value of B(D + + ) = (3.5 1.4 0.6) 10-4, and determine fD+ = (202 41 17) MeV.
