Measurement of the D*(2010)^+−D^+ Mass Difference

Abstract

We measure the mass difference, Δm_+, between the D*(2010)^+ and the D^+ using the decay chain D*(2010)^+→D^+π^0 with D^+→K−π^+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 468  fb^(-1). We measure Δm_+=(140 601.0±6.8[stat]±12.9[syst])  keV. We combine this result with a previous BABAR measurement of Δm_0≡m(D*(2010)^+)−m(D^0) to obtain Δm_D=m(D^+)−m(D0)=(4824.9±6.8[stat]±12.9[syst])  keV. These results are compatible with and approximately five times more precise than the Particle Data Group averages.
