Description

Chair: Marc Pelizaeus (UH)

Abstract:
We describe precision measurements that shed light on non-perturbative strong interactions involving the charm quark. The natural width of the D*+ meson is measured with a dataset 50 times larger than that of the previous measurement, leading to significant improvement in precision. We also measure the mass, width, and several new branching fractions of the Lambda_c(2880) baryon.
