Abstract

We report a measurement of the time-dependent ratio of D0K+πD^0\to K^+\pi^- to D0Kπ+D^0\to K^-\pi^+ decay rates in D+D^{*+}-tagged events using 1.0\,fb1^{-1} of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment. We measure the mixing parameters x2=(0.9±1.3)×104x'^2=(-0.9\pm1.3)\times10^{-4}, y=(7.2±2.4)×103y'=(7.2\pm2.4)\times10^{-3} and the ratio of doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored decay rates RD=(3.52±0.15)×103R_D=(3.52\pm0.15)\times10^{-3}. The result excludes the no-mixing hypothesis with a probability corresponding to 9.1 standard deviations and represents the first observation of charm mixing from a single measurement
