"CLEO-c: A New Frontier of Weak and Strong Interactions"


Daniel Cronin-Hennessy , University of Minnesota
[Host: E. Craig Dukes]
ABSTRACT:
The Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR) upgrade has provided a high luminosity dataset in the charm threshold region. Among the goals of the CLEO-c experiment are precision measurements of charm leptonic and semileptonic decay rates. These data are used to confront lattice-QCD predictions for hadronic decay constants and form factors. Validation of lattice-QCD will allow for improved CKM constraints. I will overview the goals of the CLEO-c ecxperiment and report recent progress.
