${{\mathit D}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit K}^{-}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ COHERENCE FACTOR $\mathit R_{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$

INSPIRE   PDGID:
S032CF2
See the note on `${{\mathit D}^{0}}-{{\overline{\mathit D}}^{0}}$ Mixing' for the definition. $\mathit R_{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$ can have any value between 0 and 1. A value near 1 indicates the decay is dominated by a few intermediate states with limited interference.

1  Uses quantum correlations in ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit D}^{0}}{{\overline{\mathit D}}^{0}}$ at the ${{\mathit \psi}{(3770)}}$, where the decay rates of $\mathit CP$-tagged ${{\mathit K}^{-}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ final states depend on $\mathit R_{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$ and $\delta {}^{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$.
2  A combined fit with a recent LHCB ${{\mathit D}^{0}}$ ${{\overline{\mathit D}}^{0}}$ mixing results in AAIJ 2016F is also reported, to be $0.43$ ${}^{+0.17}_{-0.13}$.
3  Obtained by analyzing CLEO-c data but not authored by the CLEO Collaboration.
4  Calculated from amplitude models to ${{\mathit D}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit K}^{-}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ and ${{\mathit D}^{0}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit K}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$ and cc. Reports $0.458$ $\pm0.010$ $\pm0.012$ $\pm0.020$ value where the 3rd uncertainty is the model uncertainty. We combined both systematic uncertainties in quadrature. Because of the importance of model independence in the practical use of the coherence factor, we do not include model-derived results in the average.
5  LOWREY 2009 uses quantum correlations in ${{\mathit e}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit D}^{0}}{{\overline{\mathit D}}^{0}}$ at the ${{\mathit \psi}{(3770)}}$, where the decay rates of $\mathit CP$-tagged ${{\mathit K}^{-}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$2 ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ final states depend on $\mathit R_{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$ and $\delta {}^{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$. A fit that includes external measurements of charm mixing parameters gets $\mathit R_{ {{\mathit K}}3 {{\mathit \pi}} }$ = $0.33$ ${}^{+0.26}_{-0.23}$.
