Progress towards precision measurements of beta-decay correlation parameters using atom and ion traps Open
The correlations of the decay products following the beta decay of nuclei have a long history of providing a low-energy probe of the fundamental symmetries of our universe. Over half a century ago, the correlation of the electrons followin…

Direct Measurement of the Pion Valence-Quark Momentum Distribution, the Pion Light-Cone Wave Function Squared Open
We present the first direct measurements of the pion valence-quark momentum distribution which is related to the square of the pion light-cone wave function. The measurements were carried out using data on diffractive dissociation of 500 G…

Observation of Color-Transparency in Diffractive Dissociation of Pions Open
We have studied the diffractive dissociation into dijets of 500 GeV/c pions scattering coherently from carbon and platinum targets. Extrapolating to asymptotically high energies (where t(min)-->0), we find that when the per-nucleus cross s…

The contribution of $\Sigma^* \to \Lambda\pi$ to measured $\Lambda$ polarization Open
Calculations of the polarization of $\\Lambda$ and $\\bar{\\Lambda}$ particlesafter fragmentation of a polarized quark produced in processes like $Z$-decayand deep inelastic polarized lepton scattering must include $\\Lambda$ and$\\bar{\\L…

Diffractive Dissociation of High Momentum Pions Open
The diffractive dissociation of 500 GeV/c $π^-$ into di-jets is described as a way to measure the momentum distribution of quarks in the pion. The measurements of the pion diffractive dissociation were carried out using data from Fermilab …

Measurements of Lifetimes and a Limit on the Lifetime Difference in the Neutral-Meson System Open
Using the large hadroproduced charm sample collected in experiment E791 at Fermilab, we report the first directly measured constraint on the decay-width difference Delta Gamma for the mass eigenstates of the D0-D0bar system. We obtain our …

Search for CP violation in charged D meson decays Open
We report results of a search for CP violation in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D+ -> K- K+ pi+, phi pi+, K*(892)0 K+, and pi- pi+ pi+ based on data from the charm hadroproduction experiment E791 at Fermilab. We search for a differe…

Observation of D - π production correlations in 500 GeV π− - N interactions Open
We study the charge correlations between charm mesons produced in 500 GeV pi- - N interactions and the charged pions produced closest to them in phase space. With 110,000 fully reconstructed D mesons from experiment E791 at Fermilab, the c…

Pentaquark Search with Energetic Hadron Beams Open
The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a uud(cbar)s or udd(cbar)s five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong decay. We describe this hyperon here; its structure, binding energy…

Charm physics at Fermilab E791 Open
Experiment 791 at Fermilab's Tagged Photon Laboratory has just accumulated a high statistics charm sample by recording 20 billion events on 24000 8mm tapes. A 500 GeV/c [pi][sup [minus]] beam was used with a fixed target and a magnetic spe…

Pion Absorption on the Diproton Open
A partial-wave analysis of recent low-energy pion-absorption data on a diproton ($^{1}S_{0}$) in $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ is supplemented by proton-neutron final-state-interaction phase shifts and mixing parameters, yielding a model-independent d…

Lifetime measurements of some rotational levels by a new recoil method (II) Open
Lifetime measurements of some rotational levels have been carried out by observing the decay of the excited nuclei along the recoil path following Coulomb excitation with back-scattered oxygen ions. Mean lives were determined for levels in…

Ratios of Electromagnetic Transition Probabilities in low States of Odd A Rotational Nuclei Open
The systematics of M1 and E2 transition probabilities between low lying states in odd A rotational nuclei are reviewed. Some departures are found from strict rotational behaviour in ratios of M1 and E2 transition probabilities in successiv…
