The flavor of neutral D mesons at production was tagged by the charge of the slow pion from the decay D*+ -> D^0 \\pi+. The measurement was performed using 140 fb^-1 of data recorded by the Belle detector. The yield of right and wrong sign decays arising from un-mixed and mixed events, respectively, was determined by a fit to kinematic observables. From the number of signal events we derive an upper limit for the time-integrated mixing rate r_D < 1.4 x 10^-3 at 90% C.L.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-08-23T13:20:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.40.Lb", "13.20.Fc" ], "keywords": [ "semileptonic decays", "nu decays", "slow pion", "upper limit", "meson system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 657102, "adsabs": "2004hep.ex....8112A" } } }
