Abstract

The production of D*(2010)+ and J/ψ mesons and prompt leptons has been investigated in e+e- interactions at the Ψ(1 S) resonance energy. The data were collected at the storage ring DORIS II at DESY with the ARGUS detector. We obtain upper limits of BRdir (Υ{hooked} (1 S)→D*(2010)±+X)<0.019 (for xp>0.2) and BRdir (Υ{hooked}(1 S)→J/ψ+X)<0.68×10-3, both at the 90% confidence level. From the prompt lepton analysis, a model dependent limit of BRdir (Υ{hooked}(1 S)→Yc+X)<0.034 (Yc denoting a charm-containing particle) is derived.
