Observation of B0 Meson decays to a1(1260) pi
B. Aubert, BaBar Collaboration
We present a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the B meson decay B0--> a1(1260)+ pi- with a1(1260)+ --> pi+ pi+ pi- . The data were recorded with the BaBar detec…
Statistical Errors in the Measurement of Particle Thresholds
Robert N. Cahn
Simple rules of thumb are derived for the precision with which s-wave and p-wave thresholds can be determined by a series of equally spaced cross section mesasurements near thresho…
Final-State Interactions in Nonleptonic Weak Decays of D and B Mesons
Robert N. Cahn, Mahiko Suzuki
We study final-state interactions in nonleptonic weak decays in statistical models by averaging over ensembles of strong interaction S-matrices. The models range from one with comp…
How to Measure the Mass of the W
Matthew H. Austern, Robert N. Cahn
We perform a numerical calculation of the total cross section as a function of energy, taking into account the finite width of the and the most i…
