Search for CP Violation in B^0-B^0 Mixing Using Partial Reconstruction of B^0 → D^(*-)Xℓ^+v_ℓ and a Kaon Tag

Abstract

We present results of a search for CP violation in B^0- B^0 mixing with the BABAR detector. We select a sample of B^0→D^(*-)Xℓ^+ν decays with a partial reconstruction method and use kaon tagging to assess the flavor of the other B meson in the event. We determine the CP violating asymmetry A_(CP)≡[N(B^0B^0)-N(B^0B^0)]/[N(B^0B^0)+N(B^0B^0)]=(0.06±0.17_(-0.32)^(+0.38))%, corresponding to Δ_(CP) = 1- |q/p|=(0.29±0.84_(-1.61)^(+1.88))×10^(-3).
