Precision measurements of B(D+ -> mu(+)nu(mu)), the pseudoscalar decay constant fD+, and the quark mixing matrix element vertical bar V-cd vertical bar
2014
We report a measurement of the
branching fractionB(D+ -> mu(+)nu(mu)) = [3.71 +/- 0.19(stat) +/- 0.06(sys)] x 10(-4) based on 2.92 fb(-1) of data accumulated at root s = 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. This measurement, in conjunction with the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrixelement
vertical barV-cd
vertical bardetermined from a global Standard Model fit, implies a value for the weak decay constant f(D+) = (203.2 +/- 5.3 +/- 1.8) MeV. Additionally, using this
branching fractionmeasurement together with a
lattice QCDprediction for f(D+), we find
vertical barV-cd
vertical bar0.2210 +/- 0.0058 +/- 0.0047. In either case, these are the most precise results for these quantities to date.
