The analysis uses 90 fb^{-1} of data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. We fit the decay-time distribution for the mixing parameters x' and y' and also for the parameter R_D, which is the ratio of the rate for the doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed decay D0->K+pi- to that for the Cabibbo-favored decay D0->K-pi+. We do these fits both assuming CP conservation and allowing for CP violation. We use a frequentist method to obtain a 95% C.L. region in the x'^2 - y' plane. Assuming no mixing, we measure R_D = (0.381 \\pm 0.017 +0.008 -0.016) %.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-11-08T20:17:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.Ff", "11.30.Er", "13.25.Ft" ], "keywords": [ "doubly-cabibbo-suppressed decay rate", "decay-time distribution", "measurement", "belle detector", "d0-d0bar system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
