Title: Measurement of the CP violation parameter sin(2{beta}) in B{sup 0} {r_arrow}J/{psi} K{sub s}{sup 0} Decays

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10467

A sample of {approximately} 400 B{sub d}{sup 0}/{bar B}{sub d}{sup 0} {r_arrow} J/{psi}K{sub s}{sup 0} decays collected in {bar p}p collisions by the CDF detector is used to directly measure the CP-violation parameter sin (2{beta}). They find sin(2{beta}) = 0.79{sub {minus}0.44}{sup + 0.41}, favoring the standard model expectation of a large CP violation in this B{sup 0} decay mode.
