Measurements of the coherence factors (R_Kpipi0 and R_K3pi) and the average strong-phase differences (delta^Kpipi0_D and delta^K3pi_D) for the decays D0-> K-pi+pi0 and D0->K-pi+pi+pi- are presented. These parameters are important inputs to…
We investigate the maximum size of CP violating effects in $D$-mixing within the Standard Model (SM), using Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) as theoretical working tool. For this purpose we determine the leading HQE contributions and also…
We exploit the quantum coherence between pair-produced D0 and D0bar in psi(3770) decays to study charm mixing, which is characterized by the parameters x and y, and to make a first determination of the relative strong phase \delta between…
We present measurements of the branching fractions of the decays, D-->K^0_{S,L}pi. The measured asymmetry shows that B(D^0--> K^0_S pi^0) is not equal to B(D^0--> K^0_L pi^0), as expected. We also find that B(D^+ --> K^0_S pi^+) is…
Measurements of D0 meson strong-phase parameters in quantum-correlated psi(3770) -> D0 D0bar decays by the CLEO collaboration are presented. These measurements play an important role in the determination of the unitarity triangle angle…
We report the results on $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing in the decays of $D^0\to K^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\to K_S^0\pi^+\pi^-$, and CP violation in $D^0\to\pi^0\pi^0$ using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of about 1~ab$^{-1}$ recorded with…
We study the $\mathit{CP}$ violation induced by the interference between two intermediate resonances $K^*(892)^+$ and $K^*(892)^-$ in the phase space of singly-Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0 \to K^+K^-\pi^0$. We adopt the…
We point out that in decays of the type $B^- \to D^* K^-$, where the neutral $D^*$ meson is an admixture of $D^{*0}$ and $\bar{D}^{*0}$, there is an effective strong phase difference of $\pi$ between the cases that the $D^*$ is…
With 12.3 fb-1 collected by the BaBar experiment in 2001, the mixing parameter y = Delta(Gamma)/(2 Gamma) is determined from the ratio of the D0 lifetimes measured in the D0 --> K- pi+ and in the D0 --> K- K+ decay modes. The preliminary…
We consider the possibility that D^0 - anti-D^0 mixing undergoes resonant enhancement. Various scenarios are explored, including the potential effects of nearby pseudoscalar or scalar quark-antiquark (Q - anti-Q) resonances as well as of…
We review results from FNAL E791 concerning D0-D0bar mixing and CP violation in D meson decays. We have searched for mixing in semileptonic D0 -> K+\ell-\bar{\nu} decays and in hadronic D0 -> K+\pi- and D0 -> K+\pi-\pi+\pi- decays. We have…
The strong-phase differences between $D^0\to K_{S/L}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{D}^0\to K_{S/L}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ decays are one of the most important inputs in measuring the $C\!P$ violating angle $\gamma$ via $B^- \to D K^-$ decays. They also play…
We report measurements of time dependent decay rates for $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to D^{(*)\mp}\pi^{\pm}$ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters containing $\phi_3$. Using fully reconstructed $D^{(*)}\pi$ events from a $140 {\rm fb}^{-1}$…
We discuss a model in which the large SU(3) flavor violations in singly Cabibbo suppressed decays of neutral D mesons are ascribed exclusively to the final state interactions. The agreement with the experimental data on the branching ratios…
We present evidence for D0-anti-D0 mixing in D0 --> K+pi- decays from 384 fb^{-1} of e+e- colliding-beam data recorded near sqrt(s) 10.6 GeV with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage rings at SLAC. We find the mixing parameters x'^2 =…
We present a measurement of $D^0$-$\D0bar$ mixing parameters using the ratios of lifetimes extracted from samples of $D^0$ mesons decaying to $K^-\pi^+$, $K^-K^+$, and $\pi^-\pi^+$. Using 91 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the BaBar…
We review the experimental methods to measure mixing and time-dependent $C\!P$ violation in $D^0$ decays into two hadrons. While these phenomena are usually neglected for $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+$ decays, this approximation is not always…
We consider two SU(3) breaking parameters, $R_1(m_B)$ and $R_2(m_B)$, appearing in a relation between $B^+\to K\pi$ and $B^+\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes, which plays an important role in determining the weak phase $\gamma$. We identify an…
Evidence of CP violation in the charm sector has been observed recently by the LHCb and CDF Collaborations. Adopting the topological diagram approach, we study flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking effects in the weak decay tree amplitudes of…
We analyze the decay processes B \to DK, DK^*, D\pi, and D\rho in a model-independent way. Using the quark diagram approach, we determine the magnitudes of the relevant amplitudes and the relative strong phase shifts. In order to find the…
