Rev. Letters 89 (2002) 112001 * E781/SELEX – D s production asymmetry – PLB 558 (2003) 34 * E791 – D* production asymmetry and polarization – PLB 539 (2002) 218 * E831/FOCUS –  c and  c production asymmetries (unpublished) * E831/FOCUS – DD correlations – PLB 566 (2003) 51 See Matteo Negrini’s talk on charmonium production

10 SELEX reported possible signals for 3 doubly-charmed baryon states (May 2002) ISMD 2003 Erik Gottschalk The  c + K    state was published in Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 112001 (2002) ccd + candidate at 3520 MeV/c 2 three independent analyses find the same signal wrong-sign combination with K + shows no peak

11 SELEX reports possible signals for 5 doubly-charmed baryon states (Hadron 2003)

12 SELEX observations on the production of doubly-charmed baryon states Erik Gottschalk Decay properties: four narrow states all decay weakly lifetimes < 33 fs (expected 100-1000 fs) photon coupling must be highly suppressed different L means level split is not due to spin-flip Production issues: ~ 20% of  c + are produced by ccd(3520) decay doubly-charmed baryons are produced by baryon beams within statistics, protons are at least as effective as   in producing these states FOCUS has ~ 12x more  c + events than SELEX, and does not see doubly-charmed baryons in a wide range of decay modes E791 (  beam) has 5x as many  c + events, and does not see doubly-charmed baryons “confirmation (or refutation) in other hadron experiments is crucial…”

13 Charm Production Asymmetries A  _______ = ________  c   c N c  N c  c   c N c  N c ISMD 2003 Erik Gottschalk Since perturbative QCD has not been able to account for production asymmetries (see Tom Mehen’s talk), the best tools we have available now are models that can reproduce existing experimental data so that these models can be used to study charm production. Perturbative QCD calculations predict very small charm production asymmetries. Fixed-target experiments often observe large asymmetries for charm particles, and the asymmetries are often attributed to the “leading particle effect.” A leading particle (L) has valence quark(s) in common with the beam (or target) particle.

Except for a few minor discrepancies, P YTHIA 6.203 does an excellent job of modeling photoproduced charm-pair events. DD Mass (GeV/c 2 )  (3770)? Cuts: N Primary = 2 no energy in EM calorimeters
