Abstract

Decays of charmonia(-like) particles with definite JPCJ^{PC} (e.g. χc1(3872){{\chi_{c{\rm 1}}}(3872)}) to a D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} system and any combination of CC-definite decay particles, are sources of quantum-correlated D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} systems with C=P=±1C = P = \pm 1. Several bb-hadron decays also produce quantum-correlated D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} systems. Advantages of isolating these systems in their C=+1C = +1 components for amplitude analyses and studies of lineshapes are discussed. Methods to separate the C=±1C = \pm 1 D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} components from χc1(3872){{\chi_{c{\rm 1}}}(3872)} decay samples are presented. Studies of TT and CPTCPT conservation in C=+1C = +1 D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} systems can be performed with more easily reconstructible final states, when compared to C=1C = -1 D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} systems. Experimental mechanisms that can produce C=±1C = \pm 1 D0D0{{D}^{0}}{\overline{{D}}{}^{0}} systems are described in an appendix.
