We present a precise measurement of the standard model CP-violation parameter sin(2phi1), the direct CP violation parameter |lambda|, the lifetimes of charged and neutral B mesons and their ratio, and the B0-B0bar mixing parameter Delta m_d based on a sample of 152 x 10^6 BB-bar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. One of two B mesons is fully reconstructed in a CP-eigenstate or a flavor-eigenstate decay channel. The flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of the time interval between the two B meson decay points, we obtain sin(2phi1) = 0.728 +/- 0.056(stat) +/- 0.023(syst), |lambda| = 1.007 +/- 0.041(stat) +/- 0.033(syst), tau_B0 = 1.534 +/- 0.008(stat) +/- 0.010(syst) ps, tau_B+ = 1.635 +/- 0.011(stat) +/- 0.011(syst) ps, tau_B+/tau_B0 = 1.066 +/- 0.008(stat) +/- 0.008(syst) and Delta m_d = 0.511 +/- 0.005(stat) +/- 0.006(syst) ps-1. The results for sin(2phi1) and |lambda| are the most precise measurements performed so far, and are consistent with the standard model expectations. The significance of the observed deviation from unity in the lifetime ratio exceeds five standard deviations.

  1. Total decay rates of $B$ mesons at NNLO-QCD

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    At NNLO in QCD, the heavy quark expansion predicts the B+, Bd, and Bs decay widths and semileptonic branching fractions within experimental uncertainties, with a systematic 4% shortfall in the central width values.

  2. Experimental limits on quantum decoherence from $B$ meson systems

    hep-ph 2025-01 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A reanalysis of published LHCb data claims that neutral B meson mixing and CP asymmetry data prefer a nonzero decoherence parameter in the Bd system at about 6 sigma and in the Bs system at about 3 sigma.

  3. Averages of $b$-hadron, $c$-hadron, and $\tau$-lepton properties as of 2023

    The Heavy Flavour Averaging Group reports updated world averages for b-hadron, c-hadron, and tau-lepton properties including branching fractions, lifetimes, mixing, CP violation, and CKM elements.
