Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Physics. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Physics. Physics. Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2008. In title on title page, "[pi]" in all instances appears as the lower case Greel letter and "-->" appears as a right arrow. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 97-98). We present results of a search for D⁰-D̄⁰ mixing by analyzing D⁰ --> K⁺ [pi]⁻ [pi]⁻ [pi]⁺ decays from events in 230.4 fb-1 e+e- data recorded by BABAR. Assuming CP conservation, we measure the time-integrated mixing rate RM = (0.0019 ... (stat.) ± 0.002 (syst.))%, and RM < 0.048% at 95% confidence. Using a frequentist method, we estimate that the data are consistent with no mixing at 4.3% confidence level. We present results both with and without the assumption of CP conservation. by Yi Zheng.
