  1. Charm Mixing, CPV and Rare D0 decays at BaBar William S. Lockman Representing the Collaboration Introduction Lifetime difference measurement Mixing in Wrong sign D0→K+p- and D0→K+p-p0 decays Time-integrated CPV measurements Radiative D0 decays Summary PANIC 2008: International Conference on Particles and Nuclei November 9-14, 2008 Eilat, Israel

  2. Long distance amplitudes predominantbut hard to quantify • Recent estimates: |x| ≤ 1%, |y| ≤ 1%consistent with current observations pp KK Kp ... A. Petrov,Int.J.Mod.Phys.A21:5686 (2006). Introduction • Mixing and CPV in the D0 system were discussed over 30 years ago A. Pais and Treiman, Phys. Rev. D12, 2744 (1975) • But evidence for D0 mixing only recently observed: • Of all the neutral mesons, the D system exhibits the least mixing • New Physics signature: CPV • short distanceDC=2 suppression: • D mixing loop involves d-type quarks • b quark loop suppressed: • s and d quark loops: GIM suppressed • Mass difference ampl. < O(10-5) E. Golowich, J. Hewett, S. Pakvasa, A. Petrov, Phys. Rev. D76 095009 (2007) W. Lockman

  3. Flavor state Mixing and CPV Schroedinger eqn governs time evolution (off diagonal M and  elements determine mixing) • Flavor eigenstates can mix through weak interaction: • Physical eigenstates D1 and D2 ≠ flavor eigenstates • In the limit of CP conservation: D1 = CP D2 = CP • If weak interaction splits the masses or widths of physical eigenstates, flavor state mixing will occur • Two parameters characterizing mixing: • where M1,2 and G1,2 are the masses and widths of physical states, resp. • The mixing rate is RM= (x2+y2)/2 • CPV in mixing is characterized by the asymmetrywhere + (-) indicates an initial D0 (D0) W. Lockman

  4. New Result • Not today BaBar BELLE CLEO-c CDF Recent Measurements • Mixing measurements: • D0K+K-, p+p- • D0K+p- • D0K(*)-l+n • D0K+p- p0 • D0Ksp+p- • D0KsK+K- • Quantum Correlations • Search for time integrated CPV: • D0K+K-, p+p- • D0p+p-p0, K+K-p0 • D+K+K-p+ W. Lockman

  5. Lifetime difference measurements • Using D*+→p+D0 decays, we measure the lifetimes of • CP-mixed D0K Cabibbo-favored (CF) decays and • CP-even D0KK andp+p- singly Cabibbo-suppressed SCSdecays • This allows a estimation of by • where and + (-) indicates an initial D0 (D0) • We also measure the CP asymmetry: • Relation to mixing parameters: • where AM is the mixing rate asymmetry and f characterizes CPV in the interference between mixing and decay • In the limit of CP conservation, yCP = y and DY=0 W. Lockman

  6. Decay time fits to determine (yCP, Y) =409.3±0.7 fs =401.3±2.5 fs =404.5±2.5 fs =407.6±3.7 fs =407.3±3.8 fs K and KK lifetimes differ! W. Lockman

Lockman

  8. D0 D0 D0f f D0 D0 f Mixing in “Wrong Sign” Decays (D0→K+p-) • Two types of WS Decays: • Doubly Cabbibo-supressed (DCS) • Mixing followed by Cabibbo-Favored (CF) decay Two ways to reach same final state interference! Discriminate between DCS and Mixing decays by their proper time evolution (assuming CP-conservation and|x|«1, |y|«1) : DCS decay Mixing Interference between DCS and mixing K : strong phase difference between CF and DCS decay amplitudes W. Lockman

  10. D0 D0 D0f f D0 D0 f DCS Interference Mixing Mixing in WS D0 K+-0 Decays • Analysis formally similar to to wrong sign D0 K+- analysis but now mixing depends on position in Dalitz plot. • Final state can be reached in two ways, yielding sensitivity to mixing by through analysisof the time dependent WS decay rate (|x|,|y|<<1): • The measured mixing parameters are: 384 fb-1 – new result: arXiv:0807, 4544 [hep-ex], submitted to PRL where = phase difference between DCS D0→rK+ and CF D0→rK+ reference amplitudes (and cannot be determined in this analysis) W. Lockman

WS Dalitz plot 3K events RS Dalitz plot ~660K ev. signal box: 0.1449<Dm<0.1459 GeV/c2 1.8495<mKpp<1.8795 GeV/c2 RS signal purity: 99% WS signal purity: 50% Mixing in WS D0 K+-0 Decays • Find CF amplitude from time-integrated fit to RS Dalitz plot • isobar model expansion • Use this in time-dependent fit to WS plot to determine and mixing parameters. • Results: • No evidence for CPV • Main systematics: • Dalitz plot model • Event selection criteria • Signal and background yields W. Lockman

  12. Time integrated CPV • Two diagrams (tree and penguin) in SCS decays can lead to CPV • Measured asymmetry includes direct and indirect terms • SM predictions for ACP are tiny: O(0.001% - 0.01%) • observation of ACP at ~0.1% level would indicate NP • Whereas previous measurements of ACP had uncertainties of ~(1-10)%,recent improvements in controlling experimental systematicshave led to reduced errors ~(0.2-0.4)% on ACP F.

  13. Experimental Procedure • Measure the time integrated CP asymmetries • Relative ps+ and ps- tracking efficiencies not equal • Use D0→K-p+ tagged and untagged data to determine this • Due to Z/g interference and radiative corrections D0and D0are produced with a forward backward asymmetry in C.M. polar angle q* • compute the D0 -D0 flavor asymmetry vs cos in the center of mass • extract Acp and Afb by constructing even and odd functions of cos W.

  18. Summary • After 30 years of searching for it, the collective evidence forD0 mixing is becoming compelling • The no-mixing point is excluded at ~10s, including systematic uncertainties • However, no single measurement exceeds 5s • BaBar will be adding more measurements soon • Average values of the mixing parameters are x~1 %, y~0.8 % • compatible with the upper range of standard model predictions • No evidence for CPV at the current experimental sensitivity (~0.25 %) • systematic uncertainties are likely to diminish as more B-factory data is analyzed • Theoretical predictions in accord with measured branching fractions W.
