We study the charge correlations between charm mesons produced in 500 GeV pi- - N interactions and the charged pions produced closest to them in phase space. With 110,000 fully reconstructed D mesons from experiment E791 at Fermilab, the…
Potential of the charm quark as a probe to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is best harnessed when its production mechanisms are disentangled from its propagation through the QGP. Proton-proton (pp) collisions help us to study charmed…
The cross section for prompt neutral and charged three pion production in pp interactions was measured at excess energies in the range 160 - 217 MeV. That comprises the first measurement of the pp->pp pi0pi0pi0 reaction and the comparison…

We investigate the $\sigma$ and $\rho$ coupling constants for the $DD$ and $D^*D^*$ interactions, based on correlated $2\pi$ exchange in the $DD$ and $D^*D^*$ interactions. Starting from the $D\bar{D}\to \pi\pi$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*\to \pi\pi$…
