Abstract

A model which describes the time-dependent CP formalism in D0D^0 decays has recently been proposed. There it has been highlighted a possible measurement of the angle βc\beta_c, in the charm unitarity triangle, using the decays D0K+KD^0\to K^+ K^- and D0π+πD^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-, and a measurement of the mixing phase ϕMIX\phi_{MIX}. The same method can be used to measure the value of the parameter xx, one of the two parameters defining charm mixing. We numerically evaluate the impact of a time-dependent analysis in terms of the possible outcomes from present and future experiments. We consider the scenarios of correlated D0D^0 mesons production at the center of mass energy of the Ψ(3770)\Psi(3770) at SuperBB, uncorrelated production at the center of mass energy of the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) at SuperBB and Belle II, and LHCb. Recently a hint of direct CP violation in charm decays was reported by the LHCb collaboration, we estimate the rate of time-dependent asymmetry that could be achieved using their available data, and we generalise the result for the full LHCb program. We conclude that LHCb is already able to perform a first measurement of βc,eff\beta_{c,eff}, and slightly improve the present constraints on the parameters xx and ϕMIX\phi_{MIX}. A more precise determination of βc,eff\beta_{c,eff}, ϕMIX\phi_{MIX} and xx will require a larger data sample, and most probably the cleaner environment of the new high luminosities BB-factories (both SuperBB and Belle II) will be needed. We show that SuperBB will be able to measure βc,eff\beta_{c,eff} and ϕMIX\phi_{MIX} with a precision of 1.4o1.4^o and improve the precision on xx by a factor of two.
