Implication of the D^0 Width Difference On CP-Violation in D^0-\bar D^0 Mixing

Abstract

Both BaBar and Belle have found evidence for a non-zero width difference in the $D^0$-${\bar{D}}^0$ system. Although there is no direct experimental evidence for CP-violation in $D$ mixing (yet), we show that the measured values of the width difference $y\sim \Delta \Gamma$ already imply constraints on the CP-violating phase in $D$ mixing, which, if significantly different from zero, would be an unambiguous signal of new physics.
