DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book deals with an introductory idea of Leptonic and semileptonic decay of Heavy-Light mesons. It also highlight the application of a specific QCD potential model in this area of physics. Specifically, it also addresses the application of quantum mechanical perturbation method and explicitly the Dalagarno method of perturbation in this context. The necessity of modification of the model within the constraints of QCD and the model itself is explained and also improved accordingly. Out of the five chapters, the second and third chapters address the leptonic decay of B and D mesons whereas in the last two chapters, the study of semileptonic decay in terms of the universal form factor, Isgur-Wise function is well explained.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe study the semileptonic decays D + & rarr; eta'e+nu and D+ & rarr; etae+nu using 818 pb-1 of e+ e- collisions recorded by the CLEO-c detector located at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. We employ a technique that uses the detector hermeticity to reconstruct the neutrino as missing energy and momentum. We improve the neutrino resolution by developing a generic algorithm to reconstruct the non-signal D, and constrain systematic uncertainties in the efficiency by using the algorithm to measure the branching fractions of D+ and D0 hadronic decays. We observe and measure the branching fractions of 67 hadronic decays, 32 of which are not listed in the PDG 2008. We find B (D+ & rarr; eta'e +nu) = (2.16 +/- 0.53 +/- 0.05 +/- 0.05) x 10-4 and B (D+ & rarr; etae +nu) = (11.7 +/- 0.98 +/- 0.34 +/- 0.26) x 10-4. Among the 67 D hadronic branching fractions observed in this analysis, we discover the decay B (D+ & rarr; pi+etaeta) = (0.34 +/- 0.06 +/- 0.032)% which is unexpectedly large considering the limited phase space available to the decay.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 2nd edition is an extensive update of "B Decays?. The revisions are necessary because of the extensive amount of new data and new theoretical ideas. This book reviews what is known about b-quark decays and also looks at what can be learned in the future.The importance of this research area is increasing, as evidenced by the approval of the luminosity upgrade for CESR and the asymmetric B factories at SLAC and KEK, and the possibility of experiments at hadron colliders.The key experimental observations made thus far, measurement of the lifetimes of the different B species, B0-B0 mixing, the discovery of ?Penguin? mediated decays, and the extraction of the CKM matrix elements Vub and Vcb from semileptonic decays, as well as more mundane results, are described in great detail by the experimentalists who have been closely involved with making the measurements. Theoretical progress in understanding b-quark decays using HQET and lattice gauge techniques are described by theorists who have developed and used these techniques.Synthesizing the experimental and theoretical information, several articles discuss the implications for the ?Standard Model? and how further tests can be done using measurements of CP violation in the B system.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe MARK III Collaboration recently completed the analysis of a number of decay modes of charged and neutral D mesons produced in electron-positron collisions near the peak of the psi(3770) resonance at SLAC's SPEAR storage ring. The mesons were produced nearly at rest in pairs, either DD− or D° anti D°, at a center-of-mass energy below the threshold for DD production. The unique kinematics of the production allow us to isolate the charmed meson signal clearly and unambiguously. The data were collected with the MARK III Spectrometer, a large solid angle magnetic detector. Our data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 9.3 inverse picobarns. New results will be presented on the absolute branching ratios of D mesons into hadronic final states, branching ratios for three body decays via pseudoscalar-vector intermediate states, and branching ratios for Cabibbo allowed and Cabibbo suppressed decays. Inclusive and exclusive branching ratios for the semi-leptonic decays of D mesons will be presented, as well as the first measurement of the vector form factor in the decay D° .-->. K−e, nu, evidence for interference in D+ decays, and new information on the contributions of W exchange diagrams to D° decays.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHigh precision measurements of weak neutral current and charged current processes and of the properties of the Z and W bosons have established the standard electroweak model as correct down to a distance scale of 10-16 cm, and are a sensitive probe of possible underlying physics. In this book, all aspects of the program are considered in detail, including the structure of the standard model, radiative corrections, high precision experiments, and their implications. The major classes of experiments are surveyed, covering the experiments themselves, the data analysis, results, and prospects.This volume is a detailed reference for theoretical and experimental researchers, as well as an introductory text for advanced students.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe absolute branching fractions for the decays $D^-_s\rightarrow\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ ($\ell=e$, $\mu$, or $\tau$) are measured using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 521 fb$^{-1}$ collected at center of mass energies near 10.58 GeV with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$ collider at SLAC. The number of $D_s^-$ mesons is determined by reconstructing the recoiling system $DKX\gamma$ in events of the type $e^+e^-{\rightarrow}DKXD^{*-}_s$, where $D^{*-}_s\rightarrow D^-_s\gamma$ and $X$ represents additional pions from fragmentation. The $D^-_s\rightarrow\ell^-\nu_{\ell}$ events are detected by full or partial reconstruction of the recoiling system $DKX\gamma\ell$. The following results are obtained: $B(D^-_s \to \mu^- \nu) = (6.02 \pm 0.38 \pm 0.34) \times 10^{-3}$, $B(D^-_s \to \tau^- \nu) = (5.00 \pm 0.35 \pm 0.49) \times 10^{-2}$, and $B(D^-_s \to e^- \nu)
