Oscillazioni del mesone D0 Gianluca Cavoto INFN Roma La Sapienza Commissione Scientifica Nazionale I Roma, 3 aprile 2007 Gianluca Cavoto
Outline • Neutral mesons flavor oscillation • Charm meson mixing • Evidence from B-factories • D0+ • D0ll, D0s+-, D0+-+- • Outlook Gianluca Cavoto
Neutral Mesons systems • Two-level system (M0,M0) • Weak interactions remove degeneracy, make them unstable Gianluca Cavoto
Neutral mesons oscillations Time evolution for meson of known flavor at t=0 An opposite flavor component appears after a while! M0 “oscillates” into M0! (also dubbed “mixing”) Gianluca Cavoto
Some visual examples Probability to find a M0(M0) after a given time Lifetime units Gianluca Cavoto
How to generate this ?? No tree level Flavor Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) in SM Gianluca Cavoto
Can you see New Physics ? B0 mixing was argued by UA1 and directly observed by ARGUS in 1987 And the top was discovered 8 years after! Large mixing frequence implied t quark was heavy (mt > 50 GeV/c2) Gianluca Cavoto
Even more ambitious today! Bd,s (K) mixing on the punch line for virtual effects from NP Not only x and y but also phases in the mixing CP violation Gianluca Cavoto
The missing tile Gianluca Cavoto
Charm Meson Mixing Gianluca Cavoto
Short and Long distance • Prediction x and y x VIRTUAL states Sum of intermediate REAL states y Gianluca Cavoto
SM prediction for charm mixing Always hard to evaluate SU(3) breaking !!! (HQET, propagation of common hadronic states,…) SU(3) breaking effect more important for y bottom quark ruled out by VCKM Box diagram contribution Naively Gianluca Cavoto
New Physics in Charm ? Hard to see a clear cut Pushing the limit down excludes models Try to separate x and y! 2006 limit Gianluca Cavoto
Experimental Searches Gianluca Cavoto
Charm physics with B-factory • Run1-5, more than 500M cc events Run1-5 Gianluca Cavoto
The technique Gianluca Cavoto
Flavor tagging • Same flavour: Wrong-Sign (WS)mixing may have occured • Opposite flavour: Right-Sign (RS)unmixed events Flavor at production Flavor at decay Gianluca Cavoto
Double-Cabibbo Suppressed Decays Vus V*ud V*cd Vcs Gianluca Cavoto
Time evolution is the (relative) strong phase WS (relative to RS) time-dep. rate(small x and small y limit) RM Gianluca Cavoto
Event Selection Gianluca Cavoto
RS and WS data set Gianluca Cavoto
Decay time analysis • Resolution function from RS sample Selection criteria Gianluca Cavoto
Background components Discrimination power from m() and m Gianluca Cavoto
Signal extraction 384 fb-1 Gianluca Cavoto
RS decay time analysis D0 lifetime and time resolution function from RS sample Gianluca Cavoto
WS decay time with mixing 384 fb-1 Gianluca Cavoto
Evidence for D0 mixing! Best fit solution 3.9 Gianluca Cavoto
Validation: m() and m fit in t bins Gianluca Cavoto Relative rate of WS events clearly increases with time
Validation: fit RS for mixing Gianluca Cavoto
Systematics uncertainty Gianluca Cavoto
Systematics on Decay time Gianluca Cavoto
Allowing for CP violation CP asymmetry in DCSD ! Gianluca Cavoto
analysis from Belle Gianluca Cavoto
More evidence…! Gianluca Cavoto
Belle evidence on yCP “Apparent” lifetime difference between D0-+ and +-, +- D= mixing phase Gianluca Cavoto
Results on yCP • Plot di combinazioni Belle hep-ex/0703036 Gianluca Cavoto
Separating x and y • only cannot separate x and y Need info on strong phases • Multibody decays:Dalitz models D0K- DCS CF DCS decays proceed primarily through K*+- while CF through K-+ Gianluca Cavoto
D0 Select special region of Dalitz plot Effective phase Gianluca Cavoto
D0KS Both flavor (K*-+/K*+-) final states in the same Dalitz plot! CP-eigenstate (KS) and flavor states (K*-+) in the same Dalitz plot! Gianluca Cavoto
D0KS Dalitz model Gianluca Cavoto
Belle D0KS results Gianluca Cavoto
D-mixing with Semileptonic decay D0ll No DCS sl. ! Gianluca Cavoto
Summary and Outlook Gianluca Cavoto
Summary • BaBar updating multibody decays analysis, yCP measurements • BaBar KS on-going y Gianluca Cavoto
Interpreting the results D0 and D0 Ciuchini et al. hep-ph/0703294 68% 95% HFAG PRELIMINARY Gianluca Cavoto
Measuring To beat down the model systematics measure phases directly Gianluca Cavoto
Double tag at (3770) [CLEO-c] Need to run On threshold DCP± neutral D CP eigenstate (3770) decayconserves CP Gianluca Cavoto
And CP violation? In general NP weakly constrained if SM not known Nevertheless SUSY coupling can be constrainedhints on squark and gluino masses! Neutral meson mixing always a window into unknown (virtual) states! Ciuchini et al. hep-ph/0703294 Gianluca Cavoto
