Mass mixing and CP violation in the system

1981, Nuclear Physics B

Abstract

Mass mixing and CP violation in the B°-B ° system are studied in the standard six-quark model. The mass and width differences are obtained by reliable methods, and their radiative corrections included to leading logarithm. Constraints on the Kobayashi-Maskawa parameters are rederived in order to permit a quantitative account of B ° phenomenology. Strong evidence against the observability of CP violation in B°-B ° mixing is presented. * These fractions are based on solid-angle restrictions and detector efficiencies associated with the CLEO detector, * An analysis of KM parameters in the presence of such corrections has been performed in ref. [28]. See also ref. [29].
