A search for charmed particle production in π-d interactions at 200 GeV/c

A search for hadronic production of charmed particle pairs decaying into a V0 and a μ was performed using the FNAL 30-inch deuterium bubble chamber and a downstream μ detector. In the mass region 2-2.5 GeV, upper limits of 90 μb, and 340 μb, and 350 μb are set GAMMA σ for the K0 mode assuming three different production and decay models. Upper limits for higher charm masses and Λ modes are also given. (author)
