These results are obtained from a 253 fb-1 data sample containing 275 million B\\bar{B} pairs collected by the Belle detector running at the KEKB e+e- collider. We obtain B = [24.4 \\pm 2.2 (stat) +3.8 -4.1 (syst)] x 10-6, f_L = 0.951 +0.033 -0.039 (stat) +0.029 -0.031 (syst), A = 0.00 \\pm 0.30 (stat) +0.10 -0.09 (syst), and S = 0.09 \\pm 0.42 (stat) \\pm 0.08 (syst). These values are used to determine the CKM phase angle phi_2 (alpha) via an isospin analysis; the central value and one sigma error are (87 \\pm 17) degrees, and 59 degrees < phi_2 < 115 degrees at 90% CL.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-07-09T03:51:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.Hh", "11.30.Er", "13.25.Hw" ], "keywords": [ "branching fraction", "measurement", "longitudinal polarization fraction", "cp asymmetry coefficients", "ckm phase angle" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 687092, "adsabs": "2005hep.ex....7039A" } } }
