We report a study of the decay D0→K0SK0S using 921 fb−1 of data collected at or near the Υ(4S) and Υ(5S) resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e− collider. The measured time-integrated CP asymmetry is ACP(D0→K0SK0S)=(−0.02±1.53±0.02±0.17)%, and the branching fraction is B(D0→K0SK0S)=(1.321±0.023±0.036±0.044)×10−4, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the normalization mode (D0→K0Sπ0). These results are significantly more precise than previous measurements available for this mode. The ACP measurement is consistent with the standard model expectation.

Measurement Of Branching Fraction And Direct Cp Asymmetry In Charmless B+ → K+K−Π + Decays At Belle, C.-L. Hsu Et Al., D. Joffe, Ratnappuli L. Kulasiri

We report a study of the charmless hadronic decay of the charged B meson to the three-body final state K+K−π+. The results are based on a data sample that contains 772×106 B¯B pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. The measured inclusive branching fraction and direct CP asymmetry are (5.38±0.40±0.35)×10−6 and −0.170±0.073±0.017, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The K+K− invariant mass distribution of the signal candidates shows an excess in the region below 1.5 GeV/c2, which is consistent with the previous studies from BABAR …
First Measurement Of T-Odd Moments In D^{0}→K_{S}^{0}Π^{+}Π^{-}Π^{0} Decays, K. Pransanth Et Al., D. Joffe, Ratnappuli L. Kulasiri
First Measurement Of T-Odd Moments In D^{0}→K_{S}^{0}Π^{+}Π^{-}Π^{0} Decays, K. Pransanth Et Al., D. Joffe, Ratnappuli L. Kulasiri
Faculty and Research Publications
We report the first measurement of the T-odd moments in the decay D0→K0Sπ+π−π0 from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 966 fb−1 collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. From these moments we determine the CP-violation-sensitive asymmetry aT-oddCP=[−0.28±1.38(stat.)+0.23−0.76(syst.)]×10−3, which is consistent with no CP violation. In addition, we perform aT−oddCP measurements in different regions of the D0→K0Sπ+π−π0 phase space; these are also consistent with no CP violation.

Search For The 0^{--} Glueball In ϒ(1s) And ϒ(2s) Decays, S. Jia Et Al., D. Joffe, Ratnappuli L. Kulasiri
Faculty and Research Publications
We report the first search for the J P C = 0−− glueball in Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) decays with data samples of (102 ± 2) million and (158 ± 4) million events, respectively, collected with the Belle detector. No significant signals are observed in any of the proposed production modes, and the 90% credibility level upper limits on their branching fractions in Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) decays are obtained. The inclusive branching fractions of the Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) decays into final states with a χc1 are measured to be B(Υ(1S) → χc1 + anything) = (1.90 ± 0.43(stat.) ± 0.14(syst.)) × …
