CP violation in B decays to charm and charmonium at Belle

Abstract

We present the study of CP violation in charm and charmonium decays, using a data sample corresponding to 657 \times 10^6 BBbar events collected with the Belle detector at the Υ(4S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We report measurements of the polarization fraction and time-dependent CP-violation parameters of the decay B^0\to D^{*+}D^{*-} and of the branching fraction and charge asymmetry in the decay of the Cabibbo- and color-suppressed process B^{\pm} \to ψ(2S) π^{\pm}.
