Abstract
We present a precise measurement of the standard model -violation parameter , the direct violation parameter , the lifetimes of charged and neutral mesons and their ratio, and the - mixing parameter based on a sample of pairs collected at the resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. One of two mesons is fully reconstructed in a -eigenstate or a flavor-eigenstate decay channel. The flavor of the accompanying meson is identified from its decay products. From the distributions of the time interval between the two meson decay points, we obtain , , , , and . The results for and are consistent with the standard model expectations. The significance of the observed deviation from unity in the lifetime ratio exceeds 5 standard deviations.
