Abstract

We present a new method to observe direct CP violation in D mesons using Bose symmetry and the Dalitz plot. We apply the method to processes such as BD0D¯0P, where P is either a K or a π. By choosing to reconstruct D mesons only through their decays into CP eigenstates, we show that any asymmetry in the Dalitz plot can arise only through direct CP violation. We further show how CP violation parameters can be determined. Since the approach involves only Bose symmetry, the method is applicable to any multibody process that involves D0D¯0 in the final state. We briefly discuss how BD*D¯*P can also be used in a similar way. This method can also be applied to D0D¯0 in the final state from continuum cc¯ production.
