Title: Measurement of the Time-Dependent CP-Violating Asymmetry in B{sup 0}{yields}K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{gamma} Decays

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

We present a new measurement of CP-violation parameters in B{sup 0}{yields}K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{gamma} decay based on a sample of 275x10{sup 6} BB pairs collected at the {upsilon}(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. One of the B mesons is fully reconstructed in the B{sup 0}{yields}K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{gamma} decay. The flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its decay products. CP-violation parameters are obtained from the asymmetry in the distribution of the proper time intervals between the two B decays. We obtain S{sub K{sub S}}{sub {sup 0}}{sub {pi}}{sub {sup 0}}{sub {gamma}}=-0.58{sub -0.38}{sup +0.46}(stat){+-}0.11(syst) and A{sub K{sub S}}{sub {sup 0}}{sub {pi}}{sub {sup 0}}{sub {gamma}}=+0.03{+-}0.34(stat){+-}0.11(syst), for the K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} invariant mass covering the full range up to 1.8 GeV/c{sup 2}. We also measure the CP-violation parameters for the case B{sup 0}{yields}K*{sup 0}({yields}K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}){gamma} and obtain S{sub K{sup *}}{sub {sup 0}}{sub {gamma}}=-0.79{sub -0.50}{sup +0.63}(stat){+-}0.10(syst) for A{sub K{sup *}}{sub {sup 0}}{sub {gamma}} fixed at 0.
