Measurement of D-0-(D)over-bar(0) mixing and search for CP violation in D-0 -> K+K-, pi(+)pi(-) decays with the full Belle data set

Abstract

We report an improved measurement of D-0-(D) over bar (0) mixing and a search for CP violation in D-0 decays to CP-even final states K+K- and pi(+)pi(-). The measurement is based on the final Belle data sample of 976 fb(-1). The results are y(CP) = (1.11 +/- 0.22 +/- 0.09)% and A(Gamma) =(-0.03 +/- 0.20 +/- 0.07)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. (C) 2015 The Authors.

CP violation
In particle physics, CP violation is a violation of CP-symmetry (or charge conjugation parity symmetry): the combination of C-symmetry (charge symmetry) and P-symmetry (parity symmetry). CP-symmetry states that the laws of physics should be the same if a particle is interchanged with its antiparticle (C-symmetry) while its spatial coordinates are inverted ("mirror" or P-symmetry). The discovery of CP violation in 1964 in the decays of neutral kaons resulted in the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1980 for its discoverers James Cronin and Val Fitch.
Kaon
In particle physics, a kaon (ˈkeɪ.ɒn), also called a K meson and denoted _Kaon, is any of a group of four mesons distinguished by a quantum number called strangeness. In the quark model they are understood to be bound states of a strange quark (or antiquark) and an up or down antiquark (or quark). Kaons have proved to be a copious source of information on the nature of fundamental interactions since their discovery in cosmic rays in 1947.
Radioactive decay
Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha, beta, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting particles. The weak force is the mechanism that is responsible for beta decay, while the other two are governed by the electromagnetism and nuclear force.
