Polarization fraction & time-dependent CP analysis ofmeasured at Belle. Kim Vervink March 2008 – Geneva Swiss Physical Society – Annual meeting
Motivation b ccd transition = CP eigenvalue
Motivation Similarity with the “golden” channel: First observation of mixing induced CP violation! • very clean measurement of sin2b • No hadronic contamination • No contamination from other phases Difference: : clean because “P/T” is estimated small in the SM. : clean because 1 CKM amplitude is dominant. The decay amplitude is CKM suppressed. Any New Physics in the penguins will right away show up, but overall branching fraction is small.
History Branching fraction CP odd fraction and CP violation
Luminosity Belle (10 Mar 08) All: ~ 778 fb-1 , Cont: ~ 68 fb-1 , Y(5S): ~24 fb-1 Belle + BaBar > 1 ab-1

Angular analysis Comparison with Babar:
Decay rates at Belle Standard method (similar method used for ) 2 B-mesons are produced in a boosted frame tis measured from vertex positions B-mesons are entangled: flavor of B1 at time t2 is determined by B2 decay
lifetime measurement B-meson lifetime. : background contribution.
CP violation measurement Significance of CPV : 3.8 Comparison with Babar: Standard Model prediction in absence of penguin diagrams: Compatible with SM prediction.
Summary • The Standard Model predicts a clean measurement of . • With a sample of 500 signal events we find: • Adfa • … with a significance of 3.8 A result compatible with the Standard Model. Kim Vervink
