Abstract: (arXiv)
We exploit the quantum coherence between pair-produced D0 and D0B in psi(3770) decays to make a first determination of the relative strong phase differences between D0--> K0Spi+pi- and D0B--> K0Spi+pi-, which are of great importance in determining the CKM angle gamma/phi3 in B- --> D0 (D0B) K- decays. Using 818 1/pb of e+e- collision data collected with the CLEO-c detector at Ecm = 3.77 GeV, we employ a binned Dalitz-plot analysis of K0S pi+pi- and K0Lpi+pi- decays recoiling against flavor-tagged, CP-tagged and K0Spi+pi- tagged events to determine these strong phase differences.- 13.25.Ft
