Abstract

Measurement results on D0D^0-Dˉ0\bar D^0 mixing and CP violation are presented. FOCUS, a fixed target experiment at Fermilab, collected a high statistics photo-produced charm sample collected during the 96-97 run. We reconstructed more than 1 million charmed particles and compared the lifetimes of two D0D^0 meson decays to Kπ+K^-\pi^+ and KK+K^-K^+. The mixing parameter, ycpy_{\rm cp}, we obtained is (3.42±1.39±0.74)(3.42\pm 1.39\pm 0.74)%. We also searched CP asymmetries in D+KK+π+D^+\to K^-K^+\pi^+, D0KK+D^0\to K^-K^+ and D0ππ+D^0\to \pi^-\pi^+ decay modes. We did not see any evidence of CP violation by comparing the decay rates for particle and antiparticle.
