On determining CKM angles alpha and beta
Isard Dunietz
Because the Bd -> J/psi Ks asymmetry determines only sin(2 beta), a discrete ambiguity in the true value of beta remains. This note reviews how the ambiguity can be removed. Extrac…
Comments on Recent Measurements of R_c and R_b
Isard Dunietz, Joseph Incandela, Frederick D. Snider +2
Discrepancies between Standard Model predictions and experimental measurements of the fractions R_c and R_b of hadronic Z decays to charm and bottom are investigated. We show that…
On the Necessity of Recalibrating Heavy Flavor Decays and its Impact on Apparent Puzzles in High Energy Physics
Isard Dunietz
It is demonstrated that charm is systematically undercounted in various experiments. Via a process of elimination, is identified as the culprit. It ca…
Distinguishing and Hadrons
Isard Dunietz
Distinguishing the flavor of and hadrons is critical in studies of CP-violation, mixing, and the underlying -decay mechanisms. Methods of…
