We exploit the quantum coherence between pair-produced D0 and D0bar in psi(3770) decays to study charm mixing, which is characterized by the parameters x and y, and to make a first determination of the relative strong phase δbetween D0 -> K+pi- and D0bar -> K+pi-. Using 281 pb^-1 of e^+e^- collision data collected with the CLEO-c detector at E_cm = 3.77 GeV, as well as branching fraction input and time-integrated measurements of R_M = (x^2+y^2)/2 and R_{WS} = Gamma(D0 -> K+pi-)/Gamma(D0bar -> K+pi-) from other experiments, we find \cosδ= 1.03 +0.31-0.17 +- 0.06, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. By further including other mixing parameter measurements, we obtain an alternate measurement of \cosδ= 1.10 +- 0.35 +- 0.07, as well as x\sinδ= (4.4 +2.7-1.8 +- 2.9) x 10^-3 and δ= 22 +11-12 +9-11 degrees.
First model-independent determination of the relative strong phase between D0 and D0B --> K0Spi+pi- and its impact on the CKM Angle gamma/phi3 measurement
利用Psi(3770)衰变中D 0和D 0 B对产生的量子相干性,首次确定了D 0-> K 0 Spi +pi-和D 0 B-> K 0 Spi +pi-之间相对较强的相位差,这对确定B-> D 0(D 0 B)K-衰变中CKM角γ/φ 3具有重要意义.使用CLEO-c探测器在Ecm = 3.77 GeV收集的818 1/pb的e+e-碰撞数据,我们采用了K 0 S pi+pi-和K 0 Lpi +pi-衰变反冲对味标记,CP标记和K 0 Spi +pi-标记事件的分箱Dalitz图分析,以确定这些强相位差。
