An overview of {ital D}{sup 0}{bar {ital D}}{sup 0} mixing search techniques: Current status and future prospects
- Department of Physics, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544 (United States)
The search for {ital D}{sup 0}{bar {ital D}}{sup 0} mixing may carry a large discovery potential for new physics since the {ital D}{sup 0}{bar {ital D}}{sup 0} mixing rate is expected to be small in the Standard Model. The past decade has seen significant experimental progress in sensitivity. This paper discusses the techniques, current experimental status, and future prospects for the mixing search. Some new ideas, applicable to future mixing searches, are introduced. In this paper, the importance of separately measuring the decay rate difference and the mass difference of the two CP eigenstates (in order to observe New Physics) has been emphasized, since the theoretical calculations for long distance effects are still plagued by large uncertainties. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
