Abstract

Nowadays High Energy Physics experiments can accumulate unprecedented statistics of heavy flavour decays that allows to apply new methods, based on the study of very rare phenomena, which used to be just desperate. In this paper we propose a new method to measure composition of K0K^0-K0\overline{K}^0, produced in a decay of heavy hadrons. This composition contains important information, in particular about weak and strong phases between amplitudes of the produced K0K^0 and K0\overline{K}^0. We consider possibility to measure these parameters with time-dependent K0π+πK^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^- analysis. Due to CPCP-violation in kaon mixing time-dependent decay rates of K0K^0 and K0\overline{K}^0 differ, and the initial amplitudes revealed in the CPCP-violating decay pattern. In particular we consider cases of charmed hadrons decays: D+K0π+D^+ \to K^0 \pi^+, Ds+K0K+D_s^+ \to K^0 K^+, ΛcpK0\Lambda_c \to p K^0 and with some assumptions D0K0π0D^0 \to K^0 \pi^0. This can be used to test the sum rule for charmed mesons and to obtain input for the full constraint of the two body amplitudes of DD-mesons.
