Measurement of time-dependent CP asymmetries in the decays B ? D* ? using a partial reconstruction technique

by Bahinipati, Seema

Study of time dependence of B0 ? D*- ? + decays leads to the measurement of CP violation and extraction of sin(2? 1 + ? 3), where ? 1 and ? 3 are the angles of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa(CKM) unitarity triangle. We use a partially reconstructed B ? D* ? event sample in the data sample that contains 387 million BB-bar pairs that was collected near the ?(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider.
