Study of CP Asymmetry in B^0-B^0 Mixing with Inclusive Dilepton Events

Abstract

We present a measurement of the asymmetry ACP between same-sign inclusive dilepton samples ℓ^+ℓ^+ and ℓ^−ℓ^− (ℓ=e, μ) from semileptonic B decays in Υ(4S)→BB events, using the complete data set recorded by the BABAR experiment near the Υ(4S) resonance, corresponding to 471×10^6 BB pairs. The asymmetry ACP allows comparison between the mixing probabilities P(B^0→B^0) and P(B^0→B^0), and therefore probes CP and T violation. The result, A_(CP)=[−3.9±3.5(stat)±1.9(syst)]×10^(−3), is consistent with the standard model expectation.
