D0-D0 Mixing
Michael D. Sokoloff
University of Cincinnati
The oscillation in time of neutral D mesons into their antiparticles, and
vice versa, commonly called D0-D0 mixing, has been observed by several
experiments in a variety of channels during the past year. While K0-K0
mixing and B0-B0 mixing are (relatively) well understood in the Standard
Model of particle physics, the observations of D0-D0 mixing indicate that
the physical eigenstates have decay rate differences and/or mass
differences greater than expected most naively. In this talk I will discuss
the recent experimental results and the extent to which they probe nonperturbative QCD and physics beyond the Standard Model.
1
The Nature of Particle Physics
•
Particle physicists study the fundamental constituents of matter
and their interactions.
•
Our understanding of these issues is built upon certain
fundmental principles
– The laws of physics are the same everywhere
– The laws of physics are the same at all times
– The laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference
systems (the special theory of relativity)
– The laws of physics should describe how the wave function
of a system evolves in time (quantum mechanics)
•
These principles do not tell us what types of fundamental
particles exist, or how they interact, but they restrict the
types of theories that are allowed by Nature.
•
In the past 30 years we have developed a Standard Model of
particle phyiscs to describe the electromagnetic, weak nuclear,
and strong nuclear interactions of constituents in terms of
quantum field theories. In addition to the particles and forces
of the Standard Model, there must be New Physics, also called
Physics Beyond the Standard Model.

Special Relativity
•
Energy and Momentum
– Energy and momentum form a four-vector (E,px,py,pz).
The Lorentz invariant quantity defined by energy and
momentum is mass:
– For the special case when an
object is at rest so that its
momentum is zero
•
When a particle decays, we can measure the energy and
momenta of it decay products (the daughters), albeit
imperfectly. From these, we calculate the energy and
momentum of the parent.
From the reconstructed
energy and momentum of the
candidate parent, we
calculate its invariant mass.

Classical Field Theory (E&M)

Fields and Quanta
•
•
•
•
•
Electromagnetic fields transfer energy and momentum
from one charged particle to another.
Electromagnetic energy/momentum is quantized:
– E = hn ; p = hn/c
These quanta are called photons: g
In relativistic quantum field theory: Am
g
To calculate cross-sections and decay rates we use
perturbation theory based on Feynman Diagrams:
5
Strong Nuclear Interactions of Quarks and Gluons
Each quark carries one of three strong charges, and each
antiquark carries an anticharge. For convenience, we call
these colors:
Just as photons are the quanta of EM fields, gluons are the
quanta of strong nuclear fields; however, while photons are
electrically neutral, gluons carry color-anticolor quantum
numbers.

Baryons and Mesons
• Quarks are never observed as free particles.
– Baryons consist of three quarks, each with a different
color (strong nuclear) charge
proton =
neutron =
– Mesons consist of quark-antiquark pairs with canceling
color-anticolor charges
• Baryons and meson (collectively known as hadrons) have
net color charge zero.
• A Van der Waals-types of strong interaction creates an
attractive force which extends a short distance (~ 1 fm)
to bind nucleii together.

Weak Charged Current Interactions

As a first approximation, the weak charged
current interaction couples fermions of the same
generation. The Standard Model explains
couplings between quark generations in terms of
the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matirx.

Weak Phases in the Standard Model

Charm Meson Mixing
Why is observing charm mixing interesting?
It completes the picture of quark mixing already seen in the
K, Bd, and Bs systems.
K — PR 103, 1901 (1956); PR 103, 1904 (1956).
Bd — PL B186, 247 (1987); PL B192, 245 (1987).
Bs — PRL 97, 021802 (2006); PRL 97, 242003 (2006).
In the Standard Model, it relates to processes with downtype quarks in the mixing loop diagram.
It is a significant step toward observation of CP violation in
the charm sector.
It could indicate new physics.

Allowing for CP Violation
CP violation could introduce different time
dependences for D0 (+) and D0 (-):
Three possible types of CP violation:
Direct CP violation in DCS decay
CP violation in mixing
CP violation in interference between mixing and decay

CP violation if one or more “±” parameters are different
