Abstract

The CP violation parameters in B^o → π ⁺π^- decay were investigated. The flavor of the accompanying B meson was identified by reconstructing B ^o→π⁺π^- CP eigenstate. It was observed that the expected sensitivity was optimized using the ratio LR. The study showed that there was a direct CP violation with a significance at or greater than 3.2σ.

N2 - The CP violation parameters in Bo → π +π- decay were investigated. The flavor of the accompanying B meson was identified by reconstructing B o→π+π- CP eigenstate. It was observed that the expected sensitivity was optimized using the ratio LR. The study showed that there was a direct CP violation with a significance at or greater than 3.2σ.
