Abstract
We present evidence for D0-D0bar mixing in decays from 384 fb^{-1} of e+e- colliding-beam data recorded near sqrt(s)=10.6 GeV with the Babar detector at the PEP-II storage rings at SLAC. We find the mixing parameters and , and a correlation between them of -0.94. This result is inconsistent with the no-mixing hypothesis with a significance of 3.9 standard deviations. We measure , the ratio of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored decay rates, to be . We find no evidence for CP violation.
