Title: Dispersive and absorptive C P violation in D 0 D ¯ 0 mixing

Journal Article · · Physical Review D

CP violation (CPV) in $$D^0 – \bar{D}^0$$ mixing is described in terms of the dispersive and absorptive “weak phases” $$Φ^{M}_{f}$$ and $$Φ^{Γ}_{f}$$. They parametrize CPV originating from the interference of D0 decays with and without dispersive mixing, and with and without absorptive mixing, respectively, for CP conjugate hadronic final states $$f,\bar{f}$$. These are distinct and separately measurable effects. For CP eigenstate final states, indirect CPV only depends on $$Φ^{M}_{f}$$ (dispersive CPV), whereas $$Φ^{Γ}_{f}$$ (absorptive CPV) can only be probed with non- CP eigenstate final states. Measurements of the final state dependent phases $$Φ^{M}_{f}$$, $$Φ^{Γ}_{f}$$ determine the intrinsic dispersive and absorptive mixing phases $$Φ^{M}_{2}$$ and $$Φ^{Γ}_{2}$$. The latter are the arguments of the dispersive and absorptive mixing amplitudes M12 and Γ12, relative to their dominant (ΔU = 2) U-spin components. The intrinsic phases are experimentally accessible due to approximate universality: in the SM, and in extensions with negligible new CPV phases in Cabibbo favored/doubly Cabibbo suppressed (CF/DCS) decays, the deviation of $$Φ^{M,Γ}_{f}$$ from $$Φ^{M,Γ}_ {2}$$ is negligible in CF/DCS decays D0 → K±X, and below 10% in CF/DCS decays D0 → KS,L X (up to precisely known O(εK ) corrections). In singly Cabibbo suppressed (SCS) decays, QCD pollution enters at O(ε) in U -spin breaking and can be significant, but is O(ε2) in the average over f = K+ K, π+ π. SM estimates yield $$Φ^{M}_{2}$$, $$Φ^{Γ}_{2}$$ = O(0.2 %). A fit to current data allows O(10) larger phases at 2σ, from new physics. A fit based on naively extrapolated experimental precision suggests that sensitivity to $$Φ^{M}_{2}$$ and $$Φ^{Γ}_{2}$$ in the SM may be achieved at the LHCb Phase II upgrade.
