Abstract:
We report results on the decay BDCPKB^{-} \to D_{CP}K^{-} and its charge conjugate using a data sample of 85.4 million BBˉB\bar{B} pairs recorded at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+ee^{+}e^{-} storage ring. Ratios of branching fractions of Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored processes are determined to be B(BD0K)/B(BD0π)=0.077±0.005(stat)±0.006(sys){\cal B}(B^- \to D^0 K^-)/{\cal B}(B^- \to D^0 \pi^-)= 0.077 \pm 0.005(stat) \pm 0.006(sys), B(BD1K)/B(BD1π)=0.093±0.018(stat)±0.008(sys){\cal B}(B^- \to D_1 K^-)/{\cal B}(B^- \to D_1 \pi^-) = 0.093 \pm 0.018(stat) \pm 0.008(sys) and B(BD2K)/B(BD2π)=0.108±0.019(stat)±0.007(sys){\cal B}(B^- \to D_2 K^-)/{\cal B}(B^- \to D_2 \pi^-) = 0.108 \pm 0.019(stat) \pm 0.007(sys) where the indices 1 and 2 represent the CP=+1 and CP=-1 eigenstates of the D0D0ˉD^{0}-\bar{D^{0}} system, respectively. We find the partial-rate charge asymmetries for BDCPKB^{-} \to D_{CP}K^{-} to be A1=0.06±0.19(stat)±0.04(sys){\cal{A}}_1 = 0.06 \pm 0.19(stat) \pm 0.04(sys) and A2=0.19±0.17(stat)±0.05(sys){\cal{A}}_2 = -0.19 \pm 0.17(stat) \pm 0.05(sys).
