Abstract: (arXiv)
We report a measurement of the CP-violation parameter sin2ϕ1\phi_1 at the Υ(5S)\Upsilon(5S) resonance using a new tagging method, called "BB-π\pi tagging." In Υ(5S)\Upsilon(5S) decays containing a neutral BB meson, a charged BB, and a charged pion, the neutral BB is reconstructed in the J/ψKS0J/\psi K_S^0 CP-eigenstate decay channel. The initial flavor of the neutral BB meson at the moment of the Υ(5S)\Upsilon(5S) decay is opposite to that of the charged BB and may thus be inferred from the charge of the pion without reconstructing the charged BB. From the asymmetry between BB-π+\pi^+ and BB-π\pi^- tagged J/ψKS0J/\psi K_S^0 yields, we determine sin2ϕ1\phi_1 = 0.57 ±\pm 0.58(stat) ±\pm 0.06(syst). The results are based on 121 fb1^{-1} of data recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ee^+ e^- collider.
