Experimental Challenges<br />

Exclusive reconstruction <strong>of</strong> CP eigenstates.<br />

◆ Low branching ratios.<br />

Br( B 0 → J/ψK S<br />

) ⋅ Br( J/ψ → l + l − ) ∼ 5 × 10 – 5 ,<br />

Br( B 0 → φK S<br />

) ⋅ Br( φ → K + K − ) ∼ 5 × 10 – 6 ,<br />

Br( B 0 → D∗ + D∗ −<br />

) ⋅ Br( D∗ + → D 0 π + ) 2 ⋅ Br( D 0 → K − π + ⁄ K − π + π 0 ) 2<br />

∼ 1.4 × 10 – 5 .<br />

→ High statistics, high efficiency.<br />

◆ High multiplicity.<br />

→ Good detector hermeticity.<br />

e.g.: B 0 → D + D - K - π + π -<br />

◆ Combinatorial Background.<br />

K 0 π + π 0<br />

→ Good p T resolution. (Multiple scattering)<br />

→ Particle identification.<br />

→ Continuum suppression. (Γ bb /Γ qq ~ 1/3 at ϒ 4S .)<br />
