B 0 / B 0 Decays to π + π − π 0 and K ± π ∓ π 0 in Regions Dominated by the ρ ± Resonance

چکیده
We present preliminary measurements of direct and indirect CP -violating asymmetries in the decays of neutral B mesons to π+π−π0 and K±π∓π0 final states dominated by the ρ± resonance, using a time-dependent maximum likelihood analysis. The data sample comprises 88 × 106 Υ (4S) → BB decays (80.8 fb) collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. For the CP violation parameters, we measure A CP = 0.19 ± 0.14 (stat) ± 0.11 (syst), A ρπ CP = −0.22 ± 0.08 (stat) ± 0.07 (syst), Cρπ = 0.45 +0.18 −0.19 (stat) ± 0.09 (syst), Sρπ = 0.16 ± 0.25 (stat) ± 0.07 (syst). For the other parameters in the description of the B0(B0) → ρπ decay-time dependence, we obtain ∆Cρπ = 0.38 +0.19 −0.20 (stat) ± 0.11 (syst), ∆Sρπ = 0.15 ± 0.26 (stat) ± 0.05 (syst).

Direct CP violation in B → ρ 0 ( ω ) PS
We calculate the direct CP violating asymmetry parameter, a CP , for B → π + π − π and B → π + π − K decays, in the case where ρ 0 − ω mixing effects are taken into account. We find that the direct CP asymmetry for B − → π + π − π − , ¯ B 0 → π + π − π 0 , B − → π + π − K − and ¯ B 0 → π + π − ¯ K 0 , reaches its maximum when the invariant mass π + π − is in the vicinity of the ω meson mass. Th...
متن کاملRho - Omega Mixing and Direct CP Violation in Hadronic B - Decays S . Gardner
We study direct CP violation in hadronic B-decays in the ρ 0-ω interference region, and focus specifically on the rate asymmetry in B ± → ρ ± ρ 0 (ω) → ρ ± π + π −. In this channel, the strong phase is dominated by isospin violation, so that it can be essentially determined by e + e − → π + π − data in the ρ 0-ω interference region. We find that the asymmetry in the ρ ± π + π − channel is of or...
متن کاملDirect CP Violation , Branching Ratios and Form Factors B → π , B → K in B Decays
The B → π and B → K transitions involved in hadronic B decays are investigated in a phenomenological way through the framework of QCD factorization. By comparing our results with experimental branching ratios from the BELLE, BABAR and CLEO Collaborations for all the B decays including either a pion or a kaon, we propose boundaries for the transition form factors B → π and B → K depending on the...
متن کاملDirect CP Violation in B Decays
We discuss several aspects of direct CP asymmetries in B decays, which are very useful in spite of hadronic uncertainties in asymmetry calculations. 1) Asymmetries in decays to D(∗)K(∗), π+π−, ρ+ρ−, providing precision tests for the CKM phase γ. 2) Null tests in B+ → J/ψK+, π+π0, where a nonzero asymmetry provides evidence for New Physics. 3) Isospin and broken flavor SU(3) relations among CP a...

We investigate in a phenomenological way, direct CP violation in the hadronic decays B ±,0 → ρ 0 K ±,0 where the effect of ρ − ω mixing is included. If N c (the effective parameter associated with factorization) is constrained using the most recent experimental branching ratios (to ρ 0 K 0 , ρ ± K ∓ , ρ ± K 0 , ρ 0 K ± and ωK ±) from the BABAR, BELLE and CLEO Collaborations, we get a maximum CP...

In terms of existing data, and deploying the simplest phenomenol-ogy, measuremen...
