Determination of the Wrong Sign Decay Rate D0 -] K+pi- and the Sensitivity to D0-D0bar Mixing
![Determination of the Wrong Sign Decay Rate D0 -] K+pi- and the Sensitivity to D0-D0bar Mixing](https://library.ardhindie.com/contents/assets/images/blank.png){kind=small}
The D[sup 0] meson can decay to the wrong sign K[sup+][pi][sup -] state either through a doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay or via mixing to the[bar D][sup 0] state followed by the Cabibbo favoured decay[bar D][sup 0][yields] K[sup+][pi][sup -]. We measure the rate of wrong sign decays relative to the Cabibbo favoured decay to (0.383[+-] 0.044[+-] 0.022)% and give our sensitivity to a mixing signal.
Analysis of D0 -] K+ Pi- Pi0 Decays
Analyzing D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0} decays, herein are presented the methods and results of a search for D{sup 0}-{bar D}{sup 0} mixing, a measurement of the branching ratio R {equivalent_to} {Lambda}(D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0})/{Lambda}(D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup 0}), and measurements of the contributions from D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}{rho}{sup -}, K*{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, K*{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}; 230.4 fb{sup -1} of data collected from the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider during 2000-2004 (Runs 1-4) are analyzed. An event-level tagging technique is developed, which facilitates the accurate determination of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed resonance contributions by suppressing background from Cabibbo-favored decays. The branching ratio is measured as R = (0.214 {+-} 0.008 (stat) {+-} 0.008 (syst))%, with (46.1 {+-} 3.3 (stat) {+-} 2.9 (syst))% of D{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0} decays proceeding through the channel D{sup 0} {yields} K*{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. The data are consistent with the null-D-mixing hypothesis at a confidence level of 10%, and the expected value of {+-} {radical}(x{sup 2} + y{sup 2}) is measured as -0.013 {+-} 0.010 (stat), indicating negative interference between mixing and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay. The expected value of the integrated mixing rate is (x{sup 2} + y{sup 2})/2 = (0.013 {+-} 0.013 (stat))%.
Measurement of D0-D0bar Mixing Using the Ratio of D0-]K-pi and K-K Lifetimes
We measure the rate of D°-{bar D}° mixing with the observable y{sub CP} = (?{sub K?}/?{sub KK}) - 1, where?{sub KK} and?{sub K?} are respectively the mean lifetimes of CP-even D° → KK− and CP-mixed D° → K−?+ decays, using a data sample of 384 fb−1 collected by the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory. From a sample of D° and {bar D}° decays where the initial flavor of the decaying meson is not determined, we obtain y{sub CP} = [1.12 ± 0.26(stat) ± 0.22(syst)]%, which excludes the no-mixing hypothesis at 3.3?, including both statistical and systematic uncertainties. This result is in good agreement with a previous BABAR measurement of y{sub CP} obtained from a sample of D*+ → D°?+ events, where the D° decays to K−?+, K+K−, and {pi}+{pi}−, which is disjoint with the untagged D° events used here. Combining the two results taking into account statistical and systematic uncertainties, where the systematic uncertainties are assumed to be 100% correlated, we find y{sub CP} = [1.16 ± 0.22(stat) ± 0.18(syst)]%, which excludes the no-mixing hypothesis at 4.1?
