Abstract:
We report measurements of time dependent decay rates for B0D()π+B^0 \to D^{(*)-}\pi^+ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters that depend on ϕ3\phi_3. Using fully reconstructed D()πD^{(*)}\pi events and partially reconstructed DπD^{*}\pi events from a data sample that contains 386 million BBˉB\bar{B} pairs that was collected near the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ee^+ e^- collider, we obtain the CP violation parameters S+(D()π)S^+ (D^{(*)}\pi) and S(D()π)S^- (D^{(*)}\pi). We obtain S+(Dπ)=0.049±0.020(stat)±0.011(sys)S^+ (D^* \pi) = 0.049 \pm 0.020(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.011(\mathrm{sys}), S(Dπ)=0.031±0.019(stat)±0.011(sys)S^- (D^* \pi) = 0.031 \pm 0.019(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.011(\mathrm{sys}), and S+(Dπ)=0.031±0.030(stat)±0.012(sys)S^+ (D \pi) = 0.031 \pm 0.030(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.012(\mathrm{sys}), S(Dπ)=0.068±0.029(stat)±0.012(sys)S^- (D \pi) = 0.068 \pm 0.029(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.012(\mathrm{sys}). These results are an indication of CP violation in B0Dπ+B^0 \to D^{*-}\pi^+ and B0Dπ+B^0 \to D^- \pi^+ decays at the 2.5σ2.5 \sigma and 2.2σ2.2 \sigma levels, respectively. If we use the values of RD()πR_{D^{(*)}\pi} that are derived using assumptions of factorization and SU(3) symmetry, the branching fraction measurements for the Ds()πD_s^{(*)} \pi modes, and lattice QCD calculations, we can restrict the allowed region of sin(2ϕ1+ϕ3)|\sin (2\phi_1 + \phi_3)| to be above 0.44 and 0.52 at 68% confidence level from the DπD^* \pi and DπD \pi modes, respectively.
