First simultaneous measurement of ${\Xi }^0$ and ${\bar{\Xi }}^0$ asymmetry parameters in $\psi (3686)$ decay

Abstract

The ${\Xi }^0$ asymmetry parameters are measured using entangled quantum ${\Xi }^0$-${\bar{\Xi }}^0$ pairs from a sample of $(448.1\pm 2.9)\times 10^6$ $\psi (3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. The relative phase between the transition amplitudes of the ${\Xi }^0{\bar{\Xi }}^0$ helicity states is measured to be $\Delta \Phi =-0.050\pm 0.150\pm 0.020$~rad, which implies that there is no obvious polarization at the current level of statistics. The decay parameters of the ${\Xi }^0$ hyperon $({\alpha }_{{\Xi }^0},{\alpha }_{{\bar{\Xi }}^0},{\varphi }_{{\Xi }^0},{\varphi }_{{\bar{\Xi }}^0})$ and the angular distribution parameter $({\alpha }_{\psi (3686)})$ and $\Delta \Phi$ are measured simultaneously for the first time. In addition, the $CP$ asymmetry observables are determined to be $A_{CP}^{{\Xi }^0}=({\alpha }_{{\Xi }^0}+{\alpha }_{{\bar{\Xi }}^0})/({\alpha }_{{\Xi }^0}-{\alpha }_{{\bar{\Xi }}^0})$ $=-0.007$ $\pm$ 0.082 $\pm$ 0.025 and $\Delta {\varphi }_{CP}^{{\Xi }^0}=({\varphi }_{{\Xi }^0}+{\varphi }_{{\bar{\Xi }}^0})/2$ $=-0.079$ $\pm$ 0.082 $\pm$ 0.010 rad, which are consistent with $CP$ conservation.
