Abstract

We examine e+e-→Ds-Ds*+ and Ds*-Ds+ interactions at 4170 MeV using the CLEO-c detector in order to measure the decay constant fDs+ with good precision. Previously our measurements were substantially higher than the most precise lattice based QCD calculation of (₂₄₁± ₃)MeV. Here we use the Ds+→+ν channel, where the + designates either a μ+ or a τ+, when the τ+→π+ν̄. Analyzing both modes independently, we determine B(Ds+→μ+ν)=( _0.565±_0.045±_0.017)%, and B(Ds+→τ+ν)=(_6.42±_0.81± _0.18)%. We also analyze them simultaneously to find an effective value of Beff(Ds+→μ+ν)=(_0.591± _0.037±_0.018)% and fDs+=( _263.3±_8.2±_3.9)MeV. Combining with the CLEO-c value determined independently using Ds+→τ+ν, τ+→e+νν̄ decays, we extract fDs+=( _259.5±_6.6±_3.1)MeV. Combining with our previous determination of B(D+→μ+ν), we extract the ratio fDs+/fD+=_1.26±_0.06±_0.02. No evidence is found for a CP asymmetry between Γ(Ds+→μ+ν) and Γ(Ds-→μ-ν); specifically the fractional difference in rates is measured to be (_4.8±_6.1)%. Finally, we find B(Ds+→e+ν)<_1.2×₁₀-₄ at 90% confidence level.
