Measurement of the mass of the D^0 meson
Abstract
We report a measurement of the D^0 meson mass using the decay chain D^∗(2010)^+→D^0π^+ with D^0→K^−K^−K^+π^+. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies at and near the Υ(4S) resonance, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of approximately 477 fb^(−1). We obtain m(D^0)=(1864.841±0.048±0.063) MeV, where the quoted errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. The uncertainty of this measurement is half that of the best previous measurement.
