  1. Recent Results on D0-D0 Mixing from BaBar William Lockman for the BaBar Collaboration Lepton-Photon 2007, Daegu, S. Korea

  2. Topics from BaBar Experiment • Introduction • D0-D0Mixing in Lifetime Ratio of D0K+K, +vsD0K+ • Search for CP Violation in D0K+Kand D0 to be submitted to PRL • D0-D0 Mixing in the Decay D0K • Conclusion LP07 - William Lockman

  3. Charm meson mixing Why would observation of charm mixing be interesting? It would complete the picture of quark mixing already seen in the K, B, and Bs systems. K — 1956 Bd— 1987 Bs — 2006 It would provide new information about processes with down-type quarks in the mixing loop diagram. It would be a significant step toward observation of CP violation in the charm sector. It could indicate new physics. LP07 - William Lockman

  6. A. Petrov, HEP-PH/0611361 Standard Model Predictions • Short-distance contributions from mixing box diagrams in the Standard Model are expected to be small : • b quark is CKM-suppressed • s and d quarks are GIM suppressed • mainly contributes to the mass difference x≈ O(10-5) or less • Long-distance contributions dominate but hard to estimate precisely • expect |y| ≤ 0.01 • |x| ~ 0.1 - 1|y| LP07 - William Lockman
