### Lifetime differences, direct CP violation, and partial widths in D-0 meson decays to K+K- and pi(+)pi(-)

Abstract:
We describe several measurements using the decays D0→K+K- and π+π-. We find the ratio of partial widths, Γ(D0→K+K-)/Γ (D0→π+π-), to be 2.96±0.16±0.15, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We observe no evidence for direct CP violation, obtaining ACP(KK)=(0.0±2.2±0.8)% and ACP(ππ)=(1.9±3.2±0.8)%. In the limit of no CP violation we measure the mixing parameter yCP=-0.012±0.025±0.014 by measuring the lifetime difference between D0→K+K- or π+ π- and the CP neutral state, D0→K-π+. We see no evidence for mixing.
