Abstract:
We analyse ΔC=2\Delta C=2 transitions in the framework of a minimal extension of the Standard Model where either a Q=2/3Q=2/3 or a Q=1/3Q=-1/3 isosinglet quark is added to the standard quark spectrum. In the case of a Q=2/3Q=2/3 isosinglet quark, it is shown that there is a significant region of parameter space where D 0Dˉ 0D~0 - \bar D~0 mixing is sufficiently enhanced to be observed at the next round of experiments. On the contrary, in the case of a Q=1/3Q=-1/3 isosinglet quark, it is pointed out that obtaining a substancial enhancement of D 0Dˉ 0D~0 - \bar D~0 mixing, while complying with the experimental constraints on rare kaon decays, requires a contrived choice of parameters.
