Report from Charm WG(White Paper TDR) Mixing and CPV in Charm D. Asner, Carleton U, I. Bigi, U. Notre Dame, F. Martinez Vidal, A. Oyanguren, IFIC, Universitat de Valencia-CSIC N.

FCNC, Mixing and CPV in Charm Items Discussed: • Interest in rare decays – D0+- • CPV in Mixing • Projected expectations • Importance of aSL • Running at charm threshold • Time-Dependent Quantum Correlations (TDQC)? • Simulation Wish List Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati
Interest in D0 +- Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati
Search for D0 +- • There is considerable theoretical interest in the FCNC decay D0 +-(see I. Bigi’s talk, Friday am) • The SM estimates a lower limit BF > 4 x 10-13 • Estimates would be improved by measurement of D0 • Only estimate so far - BF[D0 ] < 1.5 x 10-5 [Recall that, for KL +-, SMBF = 6.4 x 10-8 – right on the money!] Long-range mechanism (Dominant in KL +- - NOT necessarily so in D0 case) Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati
12k + c qk - u 22k Interest in D0 +- • R-parity SUSY could increase the decay rate by up to to 7 orders to BF~3.5x10-6 • Current experimental limits are: • Super B should be able to arrive at upper limits much better than this and also measure BF[D0 ] to better understand the SM limit. Opens a 7 orders of magnitude search window Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati
Interest in D0 +- • Ikaros: “10-8 would be an interesting goal” • At D threshold, the +- (or ) are “back-to-back” in transverse momentum and should present an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. [BESIII claim they will use 20 fb-1 to give them a 90% limit at 3 x 10-8 – apparently a mistake] http://arXiv.org/pdf/0801.1833 and Eur.Phys.J.C57:309-492,2008. Brian Meadows, U. Cincinnati
