Measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B-0 -> a(1)(+/-)(1260)pi(-/+) decays

Abstract

We present measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B-0 -> a(1)(+/-)(1260)pi(-/+) with a(1)(+/-)(1260)->pi(-/+)pi(+/-)pi(+/-). The data sample corresponds to 384x10(6) B(b) over bar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC. We measure the CP-violating asymmetry A(CP)(a1 pi)=-0.07 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.02, the mixing-induced CP violation parameter S-a1 pi=0.37 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.07, the direct CP violation parameter C-a1 pi=-0.10 +/- 0.15 +/- 0.09, and the parameters Delta C-a1 pi=0.26 +/- 0.15 +/- 0.07 and Delta S-a1 pi=-0.14 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.06. From these measured quantities we determine the angle alpha(eff)=78.6 degrees +/- 7.3 degrees
