The entire Run I data sample of 110 pb$^{-1}$ of proton antiproton collisions at $\\sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV$ is used to identify a signal sample of $\\sim 400$ $B \\to J/\\psi K^0_S$ events, where $J/\\psi \\to \\mu^+\\mu^-$ and $K_S^0 \\to \\pi^+\\pi^-$. The flavor of the neutral B meson is identified at the time of production by combining information from three tagging algorithms: a same-side tag, a jet-charge tag, and a soft-lepton tag. A maximum likelihood fitting method is used to determine $\\sin2\\beta = 0.79 {+0.41\\atop-0.44}$(stat+syst). This value of $\\sin 2 \\beta$ is consistent with the Standard Model prediction, based upon existing measurements, of a large positive CP violating asymmetry in this decay mode.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1999-11-15T23:40:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cdf detector", "measurement", "standard model cp violation parameter", "large positive cp violating asymmetry", "standard model prediction" ], "tags": [ "journal article", "famous paper" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
