There has been much recent discussion of the possibility of the existence of 'charmed' particles, hadrons which possess non-zero values of 'charm', a further additive quantum number. These particles may be generated either in the three triplet model of Han and Nambu or by the postulate of a fourth, charm-bearing quark. On the assumption that charm, like strangeness, is conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions (the opposite assumption would necessitate charmed particles coupling strongly to ordinary hadrons and the existence of yet undiscovered states, e.g. Z*s) but not conserved in weak interactions one might expect their production either singly in neutrino interactions or in pairs in associated production in high energy hadron collisions, to be followed by their subsequent, relatively slow, decay into 'uncharmed' particles. Various estimates as to mass, lifetime, production cross-sections and decay modes have been made for these particles. However their failure to appear as di-lepton events among the neutrino interactions of the Brookhaven A.G.S. and CERN P.S. experiments might suggest that their masses are in excess of 2 GeV/c2 the other hand, such particles would have been expected to have been observed directly in bubble chamber studies at FNAL had their lifetimes been greater than 10−11s as suggested by some authors. This proposal, which may be thought of as complementary to that of Burhop et al, is for a straightforward exposure of a stack of emulsions to a 400 GeV/c proton beam to look for evidence of the pair production of charmed particles. The spatial resolution of the emulsion technique is about one micron with the consequence that the decays of particles of mean lives in the range 10−11 to 10−14 s should be readily observable.

This second open access volume of the handbook series deals with detectors, large experimental facilities and data handling, both for accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. It also covers applications in medicine and life sciences. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the "Particle Physics Reference Library" provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A, B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access

We propose to use the CCM spectrometer to carry out a sensitive search for charmed particles produced in strong interactions at a nominal beam energy of 150 GeV/c. We limit ourselves to production in the beam diffraction region for reasons of acceptance and reconstruction. We present results of a test run undertaken in April 1975 to demonstrate the feasibility of K{sub S}° trigger, which we incorporate in the present proposal. Results of the test are combined with new insights which increase our sensitivity to charmed particle production by a large factor. We request a total of 2 x 1011 negative pions at a rate of 106 per pulse. With this illumination we estimate that we can measure a large number of hadronic decay modes. We make estimates of enhancements in mass spectra from charmed particle production and decay and calculate expected backgrounds using data from existing experiments. With conservative assumptions about the charmed particle model, we calculate effects corresponding to ten or more standard deviations in our most favorable channels.

A study was made of the reaction $pi$$sup -$ + p at 250 GeV/c in order to search for charmed particles. Cross sections, effective mass distributions, and an upper limit for each decay mode were found. However, no evidence was found for charmed particles. (JFP).

Inclusive cross sections are found for strange particle production in [pi]−p interactions at 250 GeV/c in a search for charmed particles using neutral particle decays in a bubble chamber. The results are preliminary, but at the present statistical level no evidence was found for charmed particle production. (JFP).

A stack of nuclear emulsions was irradiated by 400 Gev/c protons at FNAL. In this work a search for the short-lived particles has been carried out by a new method that allowed to detect secondary events (including the narrow ones) on short distances from the parent star. By measuring angles, momenta and ionizations of the secondary particles they could identify electrons and distinguish them from hadrons. In search for the decays of charged of particles on n{sub s} ≥ 3 charged relativistic particles or of neutral ones on two or four charged particles the environments of the 1120 stars has been looked through up to 1 mm from the center of parent star inside of cone 0{sub L} ≤ 4{sup o}. By this method 21 secondary events of the type O + O + n{sub s} have been selected. After excluding background due to the nuclear and electro-magnetic interactions 9 events remained (from which 4 of the type O + O + 2n, 2 of the type O + O + 3p and 4 of the type O + O + 4n). They consider them as decays of the new short-lived particles. All these 9 events are characterized by jet like structure (O{sub L} ≤ 10−2 rad). At least in one of these events there is an electron, that is the particle suffered a semileptonic decay. Estimation of the masses of the decaying particles in most cases agree with the mass of the charmed barions. Mean life time estimated on the basis of 9 events is about 2,0.10−14 sec. The rate of the production of the new short-lived particles is the following: neutral particles 6.10−3 per star and charged ones -2.10−3 per star in pA-interactions at 400 Gev/c. The total cross section for production of these particles is ≈ 100 [mu] bn. Detection of the charmed particles produced in association with the found ones needs further investigation.
