Improved Evidence for Direct CP Violation in B0 --> pi+ pi- Decays and Model-Independent Constraints on phi2
Belle Collaboration, K. Abe
Abstract
We present a new measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating parameters in B0 --> pi+ pi- decays with 275 x 106 BB-bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider operating at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We find 666 +/- 43 B0 --> pi+ pi- events and measure the CP-violating parameters: Spipi = -0.67 +/- 0.16(stat) +/- 0.06(syst) and Apipi = +0.56 +/- 0.12(stat) +/- 0.06(syst). We find evidence for large direct CP-violation with a significance greater than 4 standard deviations for any Spipi value. Using isospin relations, we obtain 95.4% confidence intervals for the CKM angle phi2 of 0 deg. < phi2 < 19 deg. and 71 deg. < phi2 < 180 deg.
