Abstract

We present a precise measurement of the standard model CP-violation parameter sin2ϕ1, the direct CP violation parameter |λ|, the lifetimes of charged and neutral B mesons and their ratio, and the B0-B¯0 mixing parameter Δmd based on a sample of 152×106 BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(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 distributions of the time interval between the two B meson decay points, we obtain sin2ϕ1=0.728±0.056(stat)±0.023(syst), |λ|=1.007±0.041(stat)±0.033(syst), τB0=[1.534±0.008(stat)±0.010(syst)]ps, τB+=[1.635±0.011(stat)±0.011(syst)]ps, τB+/τB0=1.066±0.008(stat)±0.008(syst) and Δmd=[0.511±0.005(stat)±0.006(syst)]ps1. The results for sin2ϕ1 and |λ| are consistent with the standard model expectations. The significance of the observed deviation from unity in the lifetime ratio exceeds 5 standard deviations.
