Measurements of CP-Violating Asymmetries in the Decay B0 to K+ K- K0
The authors analyze the decay B{sup 0} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}K{sup 0} using 383 million B{bar B} events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC to extract CP violation parameter values over the Dalitz plot. Combining all K{sup +}K{sup -}K{sup 0} events, they find A{sub CP} = -0.015 {+-} 0.077 {+-} 0.053 and {beta}{sub eff} = 0.352 {+-} 0.076 {+-} 0.026 rad, corresponding to a CP violation significance of 4.8{sigma}. A second solution near {pi}/2 - {beta}{sub eff} is disfavored with a significance of 4.5{sigma}. They also report A{sub CP} and {beta}{sub eff} separately for decays to {phi}(1020)K{sup 0}, f{sub 0}(980)K{sup 0}, and K{sup +}K{sup -}K{sup 0} with m{sub K{sup +}K{sup -}} > 1.1 GeV/c{sup 2}.
