Abstract

We report the results of a search for T and CP violation in B0B¯0 mixing using an inclusive dilepton sample collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II B Factory. The asymmetry between ++ and events allows us to compare the probabilities for B¯0B0 and B0B¯0 oscillations and thus probe T and CP invariance. Using a sample of 23×106 BB¯ pairs, we measure a same-sign dilepton asymmetry of AT/CP=[0.5±1.2(stat)±1.4(syst)]%. For the modulus of the ratio of complex mixing parameters p and q, we obtain |q/p|=0.998±0.006(stat)±0.007(syst).
