Measurement of e(+)e(-) -> D(D)over-bar cross sections at the psi(3770) resonance
Özet
We report new measurements of the cross sections for the production of DD final states at the ¯ ψ(3770)
resonance. Our data sample consists of an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb−1
of e+e
− annihilation data produced by
the BEPCII collider and collected and analyzed with the BESIII detector. We exclusively reconstruct three D0
and six
D
+ hadronic decay modes and use the ratio of the yield of fully reconstructed DD events (“double tags”) to the yield of ¯
all reconstructed D or D mesons (“single tags”) to determine the number of D ¯ 0D¯ 0
and D+D
− events, benefiting from
the cancellation of many systematic uncertainties. Combining these yields with an independent determination of the
integrated luminosity of the data sample, we find the cross sections to be σ(e+e
−→D

and σ(e+e
