Abstract

We present a measurement of the branching fraction and time-dependent charge-parity (CP) decay-rate asymmetries in B0 → J=ψπ0 decays. The data sample was collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB asymmetric eþe− collider in 2019–2022 and contains ð387 6Þ × 10 6 B ¯B meson pairs from ϒð4SÞ decays. We reconstruct 392 24 signal decays and fit the CP parameters from the distribution of the proper-decay-time difference of the two B mesons. We measure the branching fraction to be ðB0 → J=ψπ0Þ ¼ ð2.00 0.12 0.09Þ × 10−5 and the direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries to be C CP ¼ 0.13 0.12 0.03 and S CP ¼ −0.88 0.17 0.03, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. We observe mixing-induced CP violation with a significance of 5.0 standard deviations for the first time in this mode.
