The Angle The Angle of the Unitarity Triangle of the Unitarity Triangle

We expect to be approximately (57±9)º, if the Standard Model is consistent.

But how to directly measure it…

FPCP-2004 Oct. 7, 2004 Measurement ofMeasurement of and and 22ββ++ J. Albert 2

We have several ways of directly measuring . No single one of them is a “silver

bullet”:1) D(*)0

CPK(*)+ (Gronau-London-Wyler)

2) D0(Kπ)h+ (Atwood-Dunietz-Soni)

3) D(*)0(D03-body)K+ (Dalitz, GGSZ)

4) sin(2β+) from D(*)π/D(*)ρ

4a) assisted by Ds(*)π/Ds

(*)ρ

5) sin(2β+) from D(*)0K(*)0

6) The dark horse: D(s)(*)D(*) combined fit (D-L-A)

Datta and London present a method for extracting gamma from measurements of D(s)

(*)D(*), using a combination of branching fraction and CP asymmetry information. hep-ph/0310252 (Phys.Lett.B 584 81 (2004))

The CP asymmetry from the tree amplitude

measures sin2β, so where does come in?

comes from the u- and t-penguin terms:

FPCP-2004 Oct. 7, 2004 Measurement ofMeasurement of and and 22ββ++ J. Albert 26

For a given B D(*)D(*) decay, there are 3 observables: a branching fraction, a direct CP asymmetry, and a time-dependent CP asymmetry (3 of each – one for each helicity state – in the case of D*+D*-):

This is 3 equations in 5 unknowns. More information required…

The additional information can be obtained by inputting two things:

1) beta, as determined from charmonium decays, and

2) branching fractions of B Ds(*)D(*) decays.

SU(3)-breaking in the relation between D(*)D(*) and Ds(*)D(*) can be

parameterized by the ratio of decay constants Δ = fDs(*)/fD(*)

The 3 equations in 3 unknowns can be solved into a single equation for :

For D*D (vector-pseudoscalar), things are a little more complicated. Six coupled equations to solve:
