We report the measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating angle γ through a Dalitz plot analysis of neutral D-meson decays to KS0π+π- and KS0K+K- produced in the processes B∓→DK∓, B∓→D*K∓ with D*→Dπ0, Dγ, and B∓→DK*∓ with K*∓→KS0π∓, using 468 million BB̅ pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We measure γ=(68±14±4±3)° (modulo 180°), where the first error is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty, and the third reflects the uncertainty in the description of the neutral D decay amplitudes. This result is inconsistent with γ=0 (no direct CP violation) with a significance of 3.5 standard deviations.

Abstract: | We report the measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating angle γ through a Dalitz ...plot analysis of neutral D-meson decays to KS0π+π- and KS0K+K- produced in the processes B∓→DK∓, B∓→D*K∓ with D*→Dπ0, Dγ, and B∓→DK*∓ with K*∓→KS0π∓, using 468 million BB̅ pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We measure γ=(68±14±4±3)° (modulo 180°), where the first error is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty, and the third reflects the uncertainty in the description of the neutral D decay amplitudes. This result is inconsistent with γ=0 (no direct CP violation) with a significance of 3.5 standard deviations. |
