Abstract: (arXiv)
Long-distance contributions to the D0D^0-Dˉ0\bar D^0 mixing parameters xx and yy are evaluated using latest data on hadronic D0D^0 decays. In particular, we take on two-body DPPD \to PP and VPVP decays to evaluate the contributions of two-body intermediate states because they account for 50\sim 50% of hadronic D0D^0 decays. Use of the diagrammatic approach has been made to estimate yet-observed decay modes. We find that yy is of order a few ×103\times 10^{-3} and xx of order 10310^{-3} from hadronic PPPP and VPVP modes. These are in good agreement with the latest direct measurement of D0D^0-Dˉ0\bar D^0 mixing parameters using the D0KSπ+πD^0 \to K_S \pi^+\pi^- and KSK+KK_S K^+ K^- decays by BaBar. We estimate the contribution to yy from the VVVV modes using the factorization model and comment on the single-particle resonance effects and contributions from other two-body modes involving even-parity states.
