Measurement of branching fraction and time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters in B^0 → D^*+D^*-K^{0}_{S}decays

We present a measurement of the branching fraction and time-dependent CP violation parameters for B^0 → D^*+D^*-K^{0}_{S} decays. These results are obtained from a 414 fb^{-1} data sample that contains 449×10^6 B\bar{B} pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We obtain the branching fraction, B(B^0→D^*+D*^-K^{O}_{S})= [3.4±0.4(stat)±0.7(syst)]×10^-3, which is in agreement with the current world average. We also obtain an upper limit on the product branching fraction for a possible two-body decay, B(B^0 → D_s1^+(2536)D^*-)B(D_s1^+(2536)→ D^*+K^{O}_{S})s^+, where s^±[equivalent]m2(D^*±K^{0}_{S}), we extract the CP violation parameters, J_c/J_0=0.60^{+0.25}_{-0.28}(stat)±0.08(syst), 2J_s1/J_0sin2φ_1=-0.17^{+0.42}_{-0.42}(stat)±0.09(syst), 2J_s2/J_0cos2φ_1=-0.23^{+0.43}_{-0.41}(stat)±0.13(syst). A large value of J_c/J_0 would indicate a significant resonant contribution from a broad unknown D_s^**+ state. Although the sign of the factor, 2J_s2/J_0, can be deduced from theory, no conclusion can be drawn regarding the sign of cos2φ_1 given the errors.journal articl

Detection of GRB 060927 at z=5.47: Implications for the use of gamma-ray bursts as probes of the end of the dark ages

We report on follow-up observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060927 using the robotic ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s after the burst, the earliest rest-frame detection of optical emission from any GRB. Spectroscopy performed with the VLT about 13 hr after the trigger shows a continuumbreak at lambda approximate to 8070 angstrom, produced by neutral hydrogen absorption at z approximate to 5.6. We also detect an absorption line at 8158 angstrom, which we interpret as Si II lambda 1260 at z = 5. 467. Hence, GRB 060927 is the second most distant GRB with a spectroscopically measured redshift. The shape of the red wing of the spectral break can be fitted by a damped Ly alpha profile with a column density with log (N-H/cm(-2)) = 22-50 +/- 0.15. We discuss the implications of thiswork for the use ofGRBs as probes of the end of the dark ages and draw threemain conclusions: (1) GRB afterglows originating from z less than or similar to 6 should be relatively easy to detect from the ground, but rapid near-infrared monitoring is necessary to ensure that they are found; (2) the presence of large H I column densities in some GRB host galaxies at z > 5 makes the use of GRBs to probe the reionization epoch via spectroscopy of the red damping wing challenging; and ( 3) GRBs appear crucial to locate typical star-forming galaxies at z > 5, and therefore the type of galaxies responsible for the reionization of the universe
