Measurement of CP violation observables and parameters for the decays $B^{\pm}\to D K^{*\pm}$
Abstract
We study the decay using a sample of 379 events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II -factory. We perform a "GLW" analysis where the meson decays into either a CP-even () eigenstate (, ), CP-odd () eigenstate (, , ) or a non-CP state (). We also analyze meson decays into from a Cabibbo-favored decay or doubly suppressed decay ("ADS" analysis). We measure observables that are sensitive to the CKM angle : the partial-rate charge asymmetries , the ratios of the B-decay branching fractions in and non-CP decay, the ratio of the charge-averaged branching fractions, and the charge asymmetry of the ADS decays: , , ,, , and , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Combining all the measurements and using a frequentist approach yields the magnitude of the ratio between the Cabibbo-suppressed and favored amplitudes, = 0.31 with a one (two) sigma confidence level interval of [0.24, 0.38] ([0.17, 0.43]). The value is excluded at the 3.3 sigma level. A similar analysis excludes values of in the intervals , and ([85, 99]) at the one (two) sigma confidence level.
