Plan Introduction Formalism for absorptive and dispersive CPV in D 0 − D 0 mixing Indirect CPV phenomenology U-spin and Approximate Universality How large is indirect CPV in the SM? How large is the current window for New Physics (NP)? Prospects for measuring SM indirect CPV
Introduction In the SM, CP violation (CPV) in D 0 − D 0 mixing and D decays enters at O ( V cb V ub /V cs V us ) ∼ 10 − 3 , due to weak phase γ , yielding all 3 types of CPV: direct CPV (dCPV) CPV in pure mixing (CPVMIX): due to interference between dispersive and absorptive mixing amps CPV in the interference of decays with and without mixing (CPVINT) Primary interest is in CPVMIX and CPVINT, both of which result from mixing, and which we refer to as “indirect CPV" upper bounds suggest dCPV is already in the SM QCD “brown muck"
We are interested in the following questions: How large are the indirect CP asymmetries in the SM? What is the appropriate minimal parametrization of indirect CPV? How large is the current window for new physics (NP)? Can this window be closed at HL-LHCb and Belle-II? To answer, we develop the description of CPVINT in terms of generally final state dependent dispersive and absorptive CPV phases φ M and φ Γ f for CP conjugate final f states f , ¯ f . - introduced by Branco, Lavoura, Silva (’99) f parametrize CPVINT contributions from interference of D 0 decays with φ M and φ Γ f and without dispersive mixing, and with and without absorptive mixing These are separately measurable CPV effects
NP is most likely to appear in dispersive short distance mixing amplitudes SM dispersive and absorptive mixing amplitudes are due to long distance off-shell and on-shell intermediate states. subleading O ( V cb V ub /V cs V us ) decay amplitudes ∝ e iγ yield indirect CPV can not currently be calculated from first principles QCD f , φ Γ meaningful SM estimates of φ M f can be made using SU (3) F flavor symmetry arguments, yielding a minimal parametrization of indirect CPV: approximate universality estimates of the SM indirect CP asymmetries

Indirect CPV phenomenology CPV requires non-trivial CPV “weak phase" differences ( φ w ) and CP conserving “strong phase" differences ( δ s ) between interfering amplitudes ⇒ CP asymmetries ∝ sin δ s sin φ w this dependence is manifest in the absorptive/dispersive CPV phase formalism Examples: The CPVMIX “wrong sign" semileptonic CP asymmetry a SL ≡ Γ( D 0 ( t ) → ℓ − X ) − Γ( D 0 ( t ) → ℓ + X ) , Γ( D 0 ( t ) → ℓ − X ) + Γ( D 0 ( t ) → ℓ + X ) 2 x 12 y 12 sin δ M sin φ 12 = x 2 12 + y 2 12 − 2 cos φ 12 cos δ M = 2 x 12 y 12 sin φ 12 . x 2 12 + y 2 12 note the importance of the dispersive “strong phase" δ M = π/ 2

Thus, the only available CP-even strong phase is δ M = π/ 2 ⇒ asymmetry purely dispersive in origin! up to subleading dCPV contribution (second term), where � ¯ � = − 2 r f sin δ f sin φ f . a d � � f = 1 − A f /A f
