Search For The Decay Ds To Omega L Nu

<p>This analysis searches for a new type of rare decay of the charmed mesons,</p> <p>which would provide direct evidence for the presence of Fock states inside</p> <p>hadrons.</p> <p>We use 586pb of e+e- collisions at the Cornell Electron Storage</p> <p>Ring (CESR), at \sqrt{s}=4.17 GeV, recorded with the Cleo-c detector.</p> <p>A limit on the branching ratio Ds to omega e nu is found, at 0.231\%</p> <p>(95\% C.L.).</p>
