Measurement of the mass and width of the charmed meson D∗+ (2010)

Abstract Using a high-resolution silicon vertex detector we have observed a very clean signal of 127 D ∗+ . After a careful study of the experimental resolution of our apparatus we have measured m( D ∗++ )−m( D 0 ) = 145.39±0.06±0.03 MeV . We have also obtained a 90% CL upper limit to γ(D ∗+ ) of 131 keV.
