Measurement of the CP-violation Parameter sin2$\ddot{I}{•}_1$ with a New Tagging Method at the $\hat{I}\yen (5S)$ Resonance

Abstract

We report a measurement of the CP-violation parameter sin2$\ddot{I}{•}_1$ at the $\hat{I}\yen (5S)$ resonance using a new tagging method, called "$B$-$\ddot{I}€$ tagging." In $\hat{I}\yen (5S)$ decays containing a neutral $B$ meson, a charged $B$, and a charged pion, the neutral $B$ is reconstructed in the $J/\ddot{I}ˆK_S^0$ CP-eigenstate decay channel. The initial flavor of the neutral $B$ meson at the moment of the $\hat{I}\yen (5S)$ decay is opposite to that of the charged $B$ and may thus be inferred from the charge of the pion without reconstructing the charged $B$. From the asymmetry between $B$-$\ddot{I}{€}^{+}$ and $B$-$\ddot{I}{€}^{-}$ tagged $J/\ddot{I}ˆK_S^0$ yields, we determine sin2$\ddot{I}{•}_1$ = 0.57 $\pm$ 0.58(stat) $\pm$ 0.06(syst). The results are based on 121 fb${}^{-1}$ of data recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider.
