Measurement of CP asymmetries in $B^0 to K^0pi^0$ decays


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We report measurements of CP violation parameters in $B^0 to K^0 pi^0$ decays based on a data sample of $657 times 10^6 Bbar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. We use $B^0 to K^0_S pi^0$ decays for both mixing-induced and direct $CP$ violating asymmetry measurements and $B^0 to K^0_L pi^0$ decays for the direct CP violation measurement. The CP violation parameters obtained are $sin 2 phi_1^{rm eff} = +0.67 pm 0.31{(stat)} pm 0.08 {(syst)}$ and $mathcal{A}_{K^0 pi^0} = +0.14 pm 0.13{(stat)} pm 0.06 {(syst)}$. The branching fraction of $B^0 to K^0 pi^0$ decay is measured to be $mathcal{B}(B^0 to K^0 pi^0) = (8.7pm0.5 (rm{stat.})pm0.6 (rm{syst.}))times 10^{-6}$. The observed $mathcal{A}_{K^0 pi^0}$ value differs by 1.9 standard deviations from the value expected from an isospin sum rule.
