Studies of B0 Decays for Measuring sin(2*beta)

Abstract

Future asymmetric e+e- --> Upsilon(4S) B factories are being constructed to search for CP violation in B0 decays. It is hoped that a CP asymmetry may be observed in B0-B0bar mixing in analogy with that found in neutral kaons. In this mixing measurement, B0 decays to CP eigenstates, such as the rare decay B0 psi Kshort, may provide information on the CKM angle sin(2beta). I discuss decay additional CP eigenstate branching ratios measured by the CLEO experiment that may be used by future B factories to measure sin(2beta).
