Book Measurement of Indirect CP violating Asymmetries in D0 u2192 K K  and D0 u2192      Decays at CDF

Download or read book Measurement of Indirect CP violating Asymmetries in D0 u2192 K K and D0 u2192 Decays at CDF written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report a measurement of the indirect CP-violating asymmetries (A?) between effective lifetimes of anticharm and charm mesons reconstructed in D0→K+K- and D0→?+?- decays. We use the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab experiment and corresponding to 9.7 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The strong-interaction decay D*+→D0?+ is used to identify the meson at production as D0 or D¯0. We statistically subtract D0 and D¯0 mesons originating from b-hadron decays and measure the yield asymmetry between anticharm and charm decays as a function of decay time. We measure A?(K+K-)=(-0.19±0.15(stat)±0.04(syst))%and A?(?+?-)=(-0.01±0.18(stat)±0.03(syst))%. The results are consistent with the hypothesis of CP symmetry and their combination yields A?=(-0.12±0.12)%.

Download or read book Measurement of CP Violating Asymmetries in D 0 to pi pi and D 0 to K K Decays at CDF written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report a search for non-Standard Model physics through the measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in the singly-Cabibbo- suppressed $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D^0 \to K^+ K^- $ decays reconstructed in about 5.9 fb-1 of CDF data. We use the strong $D^{*+} \to D^0\pi^+$ decay ("D tag") to identify the flavor of the charmed meson at production time and exploit CP-conserving strong cc pair-production in pp collisions. Large samples of Cabibbo-favored $D^0 \to K^-\pi^+$ decays with and without D tag are used to highly suppress systematic uncertainties due to detector effects. The results are the world's most precise measurements to date and have been published by Physical Review D in January 2012 [1].

Book Measurement of CP  violating Asymmetries in  D0   to pi    pi     and  D0   to K   K     Decays at CDF

Download or read book Measurement of CP violating Asymmetries in D0 to pi pi and D0 to K K Decays at CDF written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report on a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries (A{sub CP}) in the Cabibbo-suppressed D° →??− and D° → K+K− decays reconstructed in a data sample corresponding to 5.9 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. We use the strong decay D*+ → D°?+ to identify the flavor of the charmed meson at production and exploit CP-conserving strong c{bar c} pair-production in p{bar p} collisions. High-statistics samples of Cabibbo-favored D° → K−?+ decays with and without a D*{sup ±} tag are used to correct for instrumental effects and significantly reduce systematic uncertainties. We measure A{sub CP}(D° →?+?−) = (+0.22 ± 0.24(stat) ± 0.11 (syst))% and A{sub CP}(D° → K+K−) = ( -0.24 ± 0.22 (stat) {+-} 0.09 (syst))%, in agreement with CP conservation. These are the most precise determinations from a single experiment to date. Under the assumption of negligible direct CP violation in D° →?+?− and D° → K+K− decays, the results provide an upper limit to the CP-violating asymmetry in D° mixing,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report a search for non–Standard Model physics through the measurement of CP–violating asymmetries in the singly–Cabibbo– suppressed $D0̂ o pi+̂ pi-̂$ and $D0̂ o K+̂ K-̂ $ decays reconstructed in about 5.9 fb-1 of CDF data.

Large samples of Cabibbo–favored $D0̂ o K-̂pi+̂$ decays with and without D tag are used to highly suppress systematic uncertainties due to detector effects.

Download or read book MEASUREMENTS OF BRANCHING FRACTIONS AND CP VIOLATING ASYMMETRIES IN B0 PI PI K PI K K DECAYS written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries for neutral B meson decays to two-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The results are obtained from a data sample of about 88 million[Upsilon](4S)[yields] B[bar B] decays collected between 1999 and 2002 with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. From a time-independent fit we measure the charge-averaged branching fractions[Beta](B[sup 0][yields][pi][sup+][pi][sup -])= (4.7[+-] 0.6[+-] 0.2) x 10[sup -6] and[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] K[sup+][pi][sup -])= (17.9[+-] 0.9[+-] 0.7) x 10[sup -6], where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic; the 90% confidence level upper limit[Beta](B[sup 0][yields] K[sup+]K[sup -])

Download or read book Measurements of CP Violating Asymmetries in the Decay B0 to K K K0 written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors analyze the decay B° 2!KK−K° using 383 million B{bar B} events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC to extract CP violation parameter values over the Dalitz plot. Combining all KK−K° events, they find A{sub CP} = -0.015 ± 0.077 ± 0.053 and [beta]{sub eff} = 0.352 ± 0.076 ± 0.026 rad, corresponding to a CP violation significance of 4.8[sigma]. A second solution near [pi]/2 - [beta]{sub eff} is disfavored with a significance of 4.5[sigma]. They also report A{sub CP} and [beta]{sub eff} separately for decays to [phi](1020)K°, f0(980)K°, and K+K−K° with m{sub K{sup +}K−}> 1.1 GeV/c2.

Download or read book Study of CP violating Asymmetries in B Pi pi K pi Decays written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry parameters S and C in neutral B decays to the [pi]{sup +-}[pi] CP eigenstate, and an updated preliminary measurement of the charge asymmetry in B 2!K{sup ±}[pi] decays.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present preliminary results of improved measurements of the CP-violating asymmetries and branching fractions in the decays B° →??−, B° → K+?−, B° →?°?°, and B° → K°?°. This update includes all data taken at the?(4S) resonance by the BABAR experiment at the asymmetric PEP-II B-meson factory at SLAC, corresponding to 467 ± 5 million B{bar B} pairs.

They observe CP violation with a significance of 6.7? in B° → {pi}− and 6.1? in B° → K+{pi}−. Constraints on the Unitarity Triangle angle? are determined from the isospin relation between all B → {pi}{pi} rates and asymmetries.
