The Impact of a 4th Generation on Mixing and CP Violation in the Charm System

Buras, Andrzej J., Duling, Björn, Feldmann, Thorsten et al.

Understand

We study D0-D0 mixing in the presence of a fourth generation of quarks.

  • In particular, we calculate the size of the allowed CP violation which is found at the observable level well beyond anything possible with CKM dynamics.
  • We calculate the semileptonic asymmetry a_SL and the mixing induced CP asymmetry eta_fS_f which are correlated with each other.
  • We also investigate the correlation of eta_fS_f with a number of prominent observables in other mesonic systems like epsilon'/epsilon, Br(K_L -> pi0 nu nu), Br(K+ -> pi+ nu nu), Br(B_s ->mu+ mu-), Br(B_d -> mu+ mu-) and finally S_psi phi in the B_s system.
