Search for D0-meson production in p-p interactions at a centre-of-mass energy of 53 GeV
Abstract
A search for D(1.87) mesons produced at x ~ 0.1 at the CERN ISR gave a null result. Cross-section upper limits of 9 μb and 8 μb at the 95% confidence level were measured for the processes p + p --> D0 + X, D0 --> K- + π+, and p + p --> D0 + X, D0 --> K+ + π-, respectively. Producton of f0 (1270) was observed with a cross-section of 1.9 +/- 0.4 mb.
