We search for decays of a B meson into a neutral D meson and a kaon, with the D meson decaying into K+pi-pi0. This final state can be reached through the b --> c transition B- -> D0K- followed by the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 -->…
Charm meson oscillations are observed in a time-dependent analysis of the ratio of $D^0\to K^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ to $D^0\to K^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$ decay rates, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ recorded…
We report the first observation of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^-$ using 605 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The branching ratio with respect to…
We present measurements of the branching fractions for the Cabbibo suppressed decays D+ --> pi+ pi0 and D+ --> K+ pi0 based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 124.3 fb-1. The data were taken with the BABAR…
We propose a new method to extract $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters using the $D^0 \to \bar{K}{}^0 \pi^0$ decay with the $\bar{K}{}^0$ reconstructed in the semileptonic mode. Although a $K^0 \to \pi^\pm l^\mp \nu_l$ decay suffers from low…
We present a study of B- -> D^0_CP K^- decays, where D^0_CP is reconstructed in CP-even channels, based on a sample of 88.8 million Upsilon(4S)->BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e^+e^- storage ring. We measure…
We present a study of B--> D0(CP)K- decays, where D0(CP) is reconstructed in non-CP (K-pi+), CP-even (K-K+,pi-pi+) and CP-odd (KS0 pi0) eigenstates, based on a sample of about 214 million Y(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with the BABAR…
We summarise results of analyses of D0 meson mixing parameters performed by the BaBar collaboration.
We report a search for the rare decays $B^+ \to D^+ K^0$ and $B^+ \to D^+ K^{*0}$ in an event sample of approximately 465 million $B\bar B$ pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider at SLAC.…
We present a study of the decays B- --> D*0 pi- and B- --> D*0 K-, where the D*0 decays into D0 pi0, with the D0 reconstructed in the CP eigenstates K- K+ and pi- pi+ and in the (non-CP) channels K- pi+, K- pi+ pi+ pi-, and K- pi+ pi0. We…
We calculate the time-dependent and time-integrated decay rates of $(D^0\bar{D}^0)\rightarrow (K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})(l^{\pm}X^{\mp})$ at the $\psi(3.77)$ and $\psi(4.14)$ resonances. The possibilities to distinguish between the effects of…
Measurements of charm mixing and $C\!P$ violation parameters from the decay-time-dependent ratio of $ D^0 \to K^+ \pi^- $ to $ D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ $ decay rates and the charge-conjugate ratio are reported. The analysis uses $\overline{B}\to…
Standard model mixing and CP violation are expected to be small in the charm sector. Some argue that only in the presence of new physics do we currently expect to observe these effects. Fermilab experiment E791 has the largest sample of…
The Belle II experiment is under construction at the KEK laboratory in Japan. Belle II will study e+e- collisions at or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the goal of collecting 50 ab-1 of data, which is a large increase over that recorded…
We perform a time-dependent amplitude analysis of $B^0 \to K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$ decays to extract the CP violation parameters of $f_0(980) K^0_S$ and $\rho^0(770) K^0_S$ and the direct CP asymmetry of $K^{*+}(892) \pi^-$. The results are…
The decay B0 -> D K*0 and the charge conjugate mode are studied using 1.0fb-1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7TeV in 2011. The CP asymmetry between the B0 -> D K*0 and the B0bar -> D K*0bar decay rates,…
We present a measurement of the $D^0$-$\overline{D}^0$ mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ using a flavor-untagged sample of $D^0\to K_S^0K^+K^-$ decays. The measurement is based on a 673 fb$^{-1}$ data sample recorded by the Belle detector at the…
We have recently shown that the large direct CP violation observed in the decay B^0 -> pi^+ pi^-, and the enhanced branching ratio for B^0 -> pi^0 pi^0, can be understood by invoking a small mixing of the pi pi system with the dominant D…
We review basic phenomenology on $D^0$ mixing/CP violation and recent experimental results on them. $D^0$ mixing is established by combining results from multiple experiments but no CP violation in the charm sector has been seen. $D^0$…
We present a study of the decays B^{+-} --> D K^{+-} with D mesons reconstructed in the K+pi-pi0 or K-pi+pi0 final states, where D indicates a D0 or a anti-D0 meson. Using a sample of 474 million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar…
