Measurement of the branching fractions for Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+→K+K−π+π0 and D(s)+→K+π−π+π0 at Belle
No full textWe present measurements of the branching fractions for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+→K+K−π+π0 and D+s→K+π−π+π0, and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D+→K+π−π+π0, based on 980 fb−1 of data recorded by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+e− collider. We measure these modes relative to the Cabibbo-favored modes D+→K−π+π+π0 and D+s→K+K−π+π0. Our results for the ratios of branching fractions are B(D+→K+K−π+π0)/B(D+→K−π+π+π0)=(11.32±0.13±0.26)%, B(D+→K+π−π+π0)/B(D+→K−π+π+π0)=(1.68±0.11±0.03)%, and B(D+s→K+π−π+π0)/B(D+s→K+K−π+π0)=(17.13±0.62±0.51)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The second value corresponds to (5.83±0.42)×tan4θC, where θC is the Cabibbo angle; this value is larger than other measured ratios of branching fractions for a doubly Cabibbo-suppressed charm decay to a Cabibbo-favored decay. Multiplying these results by world average values for B(D+→K−π+π+π0) and B(D+s→K+K−π+π0) yields B(D+→K+K−π+π0)=(7.08±0.08±0.16±0.20)×10^−3, B(D+→K+π−π+π0)=(1.05±0.07±0.02±0.03)×10^−3, and B(D+s→K+π−π+π0)=(9.44±0.34±0.28±0.32)×10^−3, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the normalization mode. The first two results are consistent with, but more precise than, the current world averages. The last result is the first measurement of this branching fraction

Phase-transition behavior in the emerging market: Evidence from the KOSPI200 futures market
No full textThis study examines the phase-transition behavior of the KOSPI200 futures market and discusses empirical findings in the context of the unique characteristics of that market. We study the two qualitatively different phases of the market based on two related measures: the volume-imbalance measure proposed by Plerou et al. (2003) and the return-related measure. The empirical simulations carried out in this study suggest that a peculiar distribution of trading volume&8212;which possibly reflects dominant individual trading, the nature of informed trading, and/or investor behavior in the KOSPI200 futures market&8212;plays a critical role in generating the two-phase phenomenon. The simulation results also imply that neither the serial correlation
of trade indicator variable nor that of (signed) trade volume causes the bifurcation of the conditional probability density of the volume-imbalance measure, which otherwise typically implies a phase transition.The authors are grateful for the helpful comments from So-hyun

Measurements of the branching fractions B (B ̄0 → D∗+ π-) and B(B ̄0 →D∗+ K-) and tests of QCD factorization
No full textUsing (771.6±10.6)×106 BB ̄ meson pairs recorded by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+e- collider, we report the branching fractions B(B ̄0→D∗+π-)=(2.62±0.02±0.09)×10-3 and B(B ̄0→D∗+K-)=(2.22±0.06±0.08)×10-4; the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. A measurement of the ratio of these branching fractions is also presented, RK/π=B(B ̄→D∗+K-)/B(B ̄→D∗+π-)=(8.41±0.24±0.13)×10-2, where systematic uncertainties due to the D∗+ meson reconstruction cancel out. Furthermore, we report a new QCD factorization test based on the measured ratios for B ̄→D∗+h- and B ̄→D∗+l-ν decays at squared momentum transfer values equivalent to the mass of the h=π or K hadron. The parameters |a1(h)| are measured to be |a1(π)|=0.884±0.004±0.003±0.016 and |a1(K)|=0.913±0.019±0.008±0.013, where the last uncertainties account for all external inputs. These values are approximately 15% lower than those expected from theoretical predictions. Subsequently, flavor SU(3) symmetry is tested by measuring the ratios for pions and kaons, |a1(K)|2/|a1(π)|2=1.066±0.042±0.018±0.023, as well as for different particle species. The ratio is consistent with unity and therefore no evidence for SU(3) symmetry breaking effects is found at the 5% precision level

Study of B-bar 0 →D+h- (h=K/π) decays at Belle
No full textWe present a measurement of the branching fractions of the Cabibbo favored B ̄0→D+π- and the Cabibbo suppressed B ̄0→D+K- decays. We find B(B ̄0→D+π-)=(2.48±0.01±0.09±0.04)×10-3 and B(B ̄0→D+K-)=(2.03±0.05±0.07±0.03)×10-4 decays, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third uncertainty is due to the D+→K-π+π+ branching fraction. The ratio of branching fractions of B ̄0→D+K- and B ̄0→D+π- is measured to be RD=[8.19±0.20(stat)±0.23(syst)]×10-2. These measurements are performed using the full Belle dataset, which corresponds to 772×106BB ̄ pairs and use the Belle II software framework for data analysis

Amplitude analysis of D-0 -> K- pi(+) pi(+) pi(-)
No full textKolcu, Onur Buğra (Arel Author)Kolcu, Onur Buğra (Arel Author)We present an amplitude analysis of the decay D-0 -> K- pi(+)pi(+)pi(-) based on a data sample of 2.93 fb(-1) acquired by the BESIII detector at the psi(3770) resonance. With a nearly background free sample of about 16000 events, we investigate the substructure of the decay and determine the relative fractions and the phases among the different intermediate processes. Our amplitude model includes the two-body decays D-0 -> (K) over bar*(0)rho(0), D-0 -> K- a(1)(+) (1260) and D-0 -> K-1(-)(1270)pi(+), the three-body decays D-0 -> K-1(-)*(0)pi(+)pi(-) and D-0 -> K- pi(+)rho(0), as well as the four-body nonresonant decay D-0 -> K- pi(+)pi(+)pi(-). The dominant intermediate process is D-0 -> K(-)a(1)(+)(1260)accounting for a fit fraction of 54.6%.We present an amplitude analysis of the decay D-0 -> K- pi(+)pi(+)pi(-) based on a data sample of 2.93 fb(-1) acquired by the BESIII detector at the psi(3770) resonance.

Measurement of CP asymmetry in D-0 -> K- K+ and D-0 -> pi(-) pi(+) decays
No full textTime-integrated CP asymmetries in D 0 decays to the final states K - K + and π - π + are measured using proton-proton collisions corresponding to 3fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. The D 0 mesons are produced in semileptonic b-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial flavour of the charm meson. The difference in CP asymmetries between the two final states is measured to be Δ ACP = ACP (K- K +) ACP (π- π+) = (+ 0.14 ± 0.16 (stat) ± 0.08 (syst)) %. A measurement of A CP (K - K +) is obtained assuming negligible CP violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured D decays. It is found to be ACP (K- K+) = (- 0.06 ± 0.15 (stat) ± 0.10 (syst)) %, where the correlation coefficient between ΔA CP and A CP (K - K +) is ρ = 0.28. By combining these results, the CP asymmetry in the D 0 → π - π + channel is A CP (π - π +) = (-0.20 ± 0.19 (stat) ± 0.10 (syst))%. [Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2014 The Author(s)
