Chris Parkes4 Mixing : D 0 mixing slightly different from K 0 and B 0 (s) mixing only ‘up’ type quark system that can mix D 0 mixing only recently observed experimentally (2007 onwards) Beyond Standard Model (BSM) effects may enhance mixing (Accurate) SM and BSM theoretical calculations/predictions are difficult and show a broad range of estimates why?: D-mesons are too light to be treated as heavy … and too heavy to be treated as light! CP violation : Predicted to be negligible in the SM large effects would be evidence for New Physics … Experimental evidence for CP violation with D mesons not yet clear (CPV in Kaons got a Nobel prize, CPV in B got a Nobel prize….) Why study mixing and CP violation in the D sector?

Chris Parkes8 1. Flavour at production Key points on D mixing Hence, don’t need to use the flavour tagging procedures we discussed for B, mistag rate will be low 2. Decay Diagrams Right sign – Cabibbo Favoured Wrong sign – Double Cabibbo Suppressed

Chris Parkes9 1. Wrong sign / right sign Key points on D mixing Consider events that are either wrong sign (rare and time independent) or mixed (rare and number will increase with time). to cancel systematics take ratio to right sign events Flat with time? no mixing, increases with time ? mixing

Indirect CPV

Chris Parkes13 A Γ : indirect CP violation * * Actually it has a direct CP violation contribution if direct CPV is large, see arXiv:1111.6515v2 (our group) Same concept as B or K measurements we saw before But experimentally different since don’t see oscillations as x is so small Measure from lifetimes of decay to CP eigenstate

Prompt/Secondary Separation 15 Experimental Complication D come from both production in proton-proton (prompt) And from decay of B to D (secondary) Separate out to get prompt D for time dependent measurement Use impact parameter that is the distance of flight vector of reconstructed D from the primary vertex (proton-proton interaction point) World’s best measurement – No sign of CP Violation yet….

Chris Parkes20 Mixing Fully established - 5 σ single channel measurement CP violation : So far there is no clear evidence for CP violation with D mesons – some discrepancy in direct, none in indirect Large CP Violation would be evidence for New Physics, as SM prediction is small Prospects : Enormous samples at LHCb under analysis ~ 10 billion charm events taken in last year ! Picture changing very quickly In addition to two-body decays discussed here, there is active work on 3-body (and 4-body) final state analyses using Dalitz plots Status / Future prospects (and a number of good LHCb PhD thesis topics…)

Chris Parkes21 Key Points – D section Neutral meson mixing only ‘up’ type system x<<1, very slow oscillations Long distance effects important, not only box diagrams D 0 -> K + π -, Wrong sign / right sign event ratio with time 5σ single channel discovery LHCb No CP Violation observed (yet) Small in SM, could be larger due to new physics Search for indirect CP Violation Search for direct CP Violation
