F Meson Background and F Candidates in 360 Gev C/pi(-) p and pp Interactions

摘要

The search for F meson decays in high energy hadron interactions, including misinterpreted D meson decays is reviewed. In a high resolution bubble chamber experiment, three events which give constrained kinematic fits to F decays were observed. However, other solutions are possible. Analysis difficulties in the presence of kinematic ambiguities and the absence of charged particle identification are discussed. Two of the three decays discussed are to modes where charged particle identification would not resolve D/F ambiguities.
