A study of CP asymmetry inB 0 decay at ψ(4S)

  • Published:

Abstract

A method to look for CP violation in the neutralB-meson system using asymmetrically time-integrated decay rates is discussed. With this method, observation of CP violation may be posible at ψ(4S), where the CP asymmetry vanishes with the usual symmetric time-integrated rate. A rate estimate is made based on the standard model prediction taking the lates observation of\(B^0 - \overline {B^0 } \) oscillations into account. We confirm the previous prediction that CP violation can be large in theB-meson system.
