We present the first measurement of the D*(+) width using 9/fb of e(+)e(-) data collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the CLEO II.V detector. Our method uses advanced tracking techniques and a reconstruction method that takes advantage of the small vertical size of the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring beam spot to measure the energy release distribution from the D*(+)-->D(0)pi(+) decay. We find gamma(D*(+)) = 96+/-4 (stat)+/-22 (syst) keV. We also measure the energy release in the decay and compute Delta m identical with m(D*(+))-m(D(0)) = 145.412+/-0.002 (stat)+/-0.012 (syst) MeV/c(2).
Using 13.5 fb Ϫ1 of e ϩ e Ϫ annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector, we have observed a narrow resonance decaying to D s * ϩ 0 with a mass near 2.46 GeV/c 2. The search for such a state was motivated by the recent discovery by the BaBar Collaboration of a narrow state at 2.32 GeV/c 2 , the D sJ * (2317) ϩ , that decays to D s ϩ 0. Reconstructing the D s ϩ 0 and D s * ϩ 0 final states in CLEO data, we observe peaks in both of the corresponding reconstructed mass difference distributions, ⌬M (D s 0)ϭM (D s 0)ϪM (D s) and ⌬M (D s * 0)ϭM (D s * 0)ϪM (D s *), both of them at values near 350 MeV/c 2. We interpret these peaks as signatures of two distinct states, the D sJ * (2317) ϩ plus a new state, designated as the D sJ (2463) ϩ. Because of the similar ⌬M values, each of these states represents a source of background for the other if photons are lost, ignored or added. A quantitative accounting of these reflections confirms that both states exist. We have measured the mean mass differences ͗⌬M (D s 0)͘ϭ350.0Ϯ1.2 (stat)Ϯ1.0 (syst) MeV/c 2 for the D sJ * (2317) ϩ state, and ͗⌬M (D s * 0)͘ϭ351.2Ϯ1.7 (stat)Ϯ1.0 (syst) MeV/c 2 for the new D sJ (2463) ϩ state. We have also searched, but find no evidence, for decays of the two states via the channels D s * ϩ ␥, D s ϩ ␥, and D s ϩ ϩ Ϫ. The observations of the two states at 2.32 and 2.46 GeV/c 2 , in the D s ϩ 0 and D s * ϩ 0 decay channels, respectively, are consistent with their interpretations as cs mesons with an orbital angular momentum Lϭ1 and spin and parity J P ϭ0 ϩ and 1 ϩ .
We present the first measurement of the D* ϩ width using 9/fb of e ϩ e Ϫ data collected near the ⌼(4S) resonance by the CLEO II.V detector. Our method uses advanced tracking techniques and a reconstruction method that takes advantage of the small vertical size of the CESR beam spot to measure the energy release distribution from the D* ϩ →D 0 ϩ decay. We find ⌫(D* ϩ )ϭ96Ϯ4 (statistical)Ϯ22 (systematic) keV. We also measure the energy release in the decay and compute ⌬mϵm D* ϩϪ m D 0ϭ 145.412Ϯ0.002 (statistical) Ϯ0.012 (systematic) MeV/c 2 .
We have measured the branching fraction and photon energy spectrum for the radiative penguin process b → sγ. We find B(b → sγ) = (3.21 ± 0.43 ± 0.27 +0.18 −0.10 ) × 10 −4 , where the errors are statistical, systematic, and from theory corrections. We obtain first and second moments of the photon energy spectrum above 2.0 GeV, E γ = 2.346 ± 0.032 ± 0.011 GeV, and E 2 γ − E γ 2 = 0.0226± 0.0066± 0.0020 GeV 2 , where the errors are statistical and systematic. From the first moment we obtain (in M S, to order 1/M 3 B and β 0 α 2 s ) the HQET parameterΛ = 0.35 ± 0.08 ± 0.10 GeV.
The CLEO experiment at the CESR collider has used 13.7 fb(-1) of data to search for the production of the Omega(0)(c) (css ground state) in e(+)e(-) collisions at square root of (s) approximately 10.6 GeV. The modes used to study the Omega(0)(c) are Omega(-)pi(+), Omega(-)pi(+)pi(0), Xi-K-pi(+)pi(+), Xi0K-pi(+), and Omega(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-). We observe a signal of 40.4+/-9.0(stat) events at a mass of 2694.6+/-2.6(stat)+/-1.9(syst) MeV/c(2), for all modes combined.
