Measurement of Ac with charmed mesons at the SLAC Large Detector
Abstract
We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter Ac in the coupling of the Z0 to c quarks with the SLD detector. The measurement is based on a sample of 530 k hadronic Z0 decays, produced with a mean electron-beam polarization of |Pe|=73%. The tagging of c-quark events is performed using two methods: the exclusive reconstruction of D*+, D+, and D0 mesons, and the soft pions (πs) produced in the decay of D*+→D0πs+. The large …
