Abstract
The decay B0 d→D+D- offers an interesting probe of CP violation, but it requires control of penguin effects, which can be done through B0 s→D+ sD- s by means of the U-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. Recently, the Belle collaboration reported indications of large CP violation in the B0 d decay, which were, however, not confirmed by BaBar, and first signals of the B0 s channel were observed at the Tevatron. In view of these developments and the quickly approaching start of the LHC, we explore the allowed region in observable space for CP violation in B0 d→D+D-, perform theoretical estimates of the relevant hadronic penguin parameters and observables, and we address questions both about the most promising strategies for the extraction of CP-violating phases and about the interplay with other measurements of CP violation and the search for new physics. As far as the latter aspect is concerned, we point out that the B0 q→Dq +D- q system provides a setting for the determination of the B0 q–B̄0 q mixing phases (q∈{d,s}) that is complementary to the conventional B0 d→J/ψKS and B0 s→J/ψφ modes with respect to possible new-physics effects in the electroweak penguin sector.
