1 Latest time-dependent CP-violation results from BaBar Owen Long, UC Santa Barbara TM All results are preliminary XXXVIIth Rencontres de Moriond QCD and Hadronic Interactions March 17, 2002

2 The CKM matrix The complex phase in the CKM quark mixing matrix provides the Standard model mechanism for CP violation in weak interactions. Complex conjugate enters for CP conjugate process.

3 Time-dependent CP asymmetries Interference between mixing and decay produces a CP asymmetry that depends on the time difference between the B decays. General technique: fit for the sine and cosine coefficients in the time-dependent asymmetry. Decay Mode λ Imλ Comments b ccs J/Ψ K s 1 sin2β Single weak phase. Theoretically clean b ccd D * D (*)? sin2β if no penguin Tree and penguin b uud π + π -? sin2α if no penguin Tree and penguin

5 The BaBar experiment SVT: 5 layers double-sided Si. Crucial for measuring t. DCH: 40 layers in 10 superlayers, axial and stereo. DIRC: Array of precisely machined quartz bars. Excellent Kaon identification. Detector for Internally reflected Cherenkov radiation (DIRC) Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) 1.5 T Solenoid EMC: Crystal calorimeter (CsI(Tl)) Very good energy resolution. Electron ID, π 0 and γ reco. IFR: Layers of RPCs within iron. Muon and neutral hadron (K L ) Drift chamber (DCH) Silicon Vertex Detector (SVT) Instrumented Flux Return (IFR)

6 Changes in the sin2β analysis Run1 data (20 fb -1 ) were reprocessed Improved SVT internal alignment (better t measurement). More efficient tracking pattern recognition (K s efficiency +20%).

13 CP asymmetry in CP 1 and +1 modes (cc) K s CP = -1 J/Ψ K L CP = +1 Note: likelihood curves are normalized to the total number of tagged events, not B 0 and B 0 separately.

15 Cross checks sin2β by decay mode sin2β in sub-samples Individual modes and sub-samples are all consistent.

16 Crosscheck: fit B flav sample as a CP sample Check for bias in sin2β fit by treating B flav (mixing) sample as if it were a CP sample. Expect no CP asymmetry. See no CP asymmetry. A cp = ± 0.027

17 CKM interpretation η Our sin2β measurement is consistent with current Standard Model constraints from measurements of other parameters. ρ = ρ(1-λ 2 /2) η = η(1-λ 2 /2) ρ Method as in Höcker et al, Eur.Phys.J.C21: ,2001 (also other recent global CKM matrix analyses)

18 New sin2β measurement :η c K s Challenging high multiplicity final state: η c K s K ± π + and K + K - π 0. Another golden (b ccs) mode. Preliminary branching fraction measurement (run1 20 fb -1 only) Br(B 0 η c K 0 ) x Br(η c KKπ) = ( ) x 10-6 η c K s N tag = 77, Purity = 73% sin2β = 0.43 ± 0.46 ± 0.08 sin2β = 0.43 ± 0.46 ± 0.08 Will be fully incorporated in the global sin2β by summer.

19 CP asymmetry in b ccd decays: D *± D *+ and D *± D + Weak phase for tree decay is same as for b ccs but watch out for penguins! D * D * is vector-vector decay (L=0,1,2) so mix of CP=+1 and 1. Fit for S f and C f (no penguin assumptions). D * D * N tag = 76 Purity = 80% Separate S f and C f for D *+ D - and D *- D +. D * D * S = ± 0.45 ± 0.05 C = 0.12 ± 0.30 ± 0.05 D * D S +- = ± 1.41 ± 0.20 C +- = 0.53 ± 0.74 ± 0.13 S -+ = 0.38 ± 0.88 ± 0.05 C -+ = 0.30 ± 0.50 ± 0.08 D * D N tag = 85 Purity = 52% Next step: angular analysis for D * D *

20 B 0 h + h - analysis CP asymmetry in B 0 π + π - sensitive to sin2α Background almost entirely from the continuum (BB negligible) Cut on cosθ s : signal flat, BG peaks near 1. Fisher discriminant F (energy cones) used in likelihood fit. Maximum likelihood fit input Sig/BG sep.

Fix yields, fit for S ππ and C ππ including t and flavor tagging.

QCD factorization S pp pp = ± 0.37 ± 0.07 C pp pp = ± 0.29 ± % confidence intervals S pp = [-0.66,+0.62] C pp = [-0.54,+0.48] Result is at the edge of the allowed region in the ρ η plane.

24 Summary and outlook Several new results with 56 fb -1 of on-resonance data. sin2b = 0.75 ± 0.09 (stat) ± 0.04 (syst) Precision measurement consistent with other experimental constraints on the Standard Model. First measurements of CP asymmetry in b ccd decays. Will eventually provide a valuable SM cross check. CP asymmetry in B 0 π + π - S pp = ± 0.37 ± 0.07 C pp = ± 0.29 ± 0.07 At the edge of the allowed region in the ρ η plane. Will have more updates and measurements with 100 fb -1 this summer.
