Performance study of a novel time-dependent CP analysis of B π0π0 and projection of the measurement of the unitarity angle ϕ2/α at the Belle II Experiment

Description

The measurement of the time-dependent CP violation parameters of the decay channel B π0π0 is crucial for the determination of the unitarity angle ϕ2. At former B-factories, only the direct CP violation parameter ACP could be measured in time-integrated studies. For the mixing-induced CP violation parameter SCP, a time-dependent analysis is required, a highly challenging task. This analysis requires a precise determination of the B0-decay vertex, which cannot be achieved in the dominant four-photons final state. Only rare events with a so-called Dalitz decay π0 e+eγ or with converted photons provide information for the B0 vertex reconstruction. Thus, large samples of B0 π0π0 decays are needed and, at present, the size of the current B-factories data samples is insufficient. Exploiting the capabilities of the new Belle II pixel vertex detector and the full Belle II data sample at 50 ab1, the presented study shows that the expected uncertainty on the first measurement of Sπ0π0 is estimated to be ΔSπ0π0 = 0.29. This results in a reduction of the current 8-fold ϕ2/α-ambiguity to a 2-fold considering B ππ decays. Considering also B ρρ decays, the final uncertainty on ϕ2/α is projected to be about five times smaller than the current world average.
