D^0-$\bar D^0$ Mixing and CP Violation from FOCUS Experiment

Measurement results on $D^0$-$\bar D^0$ mixing and CP violation are presented. FOCUS, a fixed target experiment at Fermilab, collected a high statistics photo-produced charm sample collected during the 96-97 run. We reconstructed more than 1 million charmed particles and compared the lifetimes of two $D^0$ meson decays to $K^-π^+$ and $K^-K^+$. The mixing parameter, $y_{\rm cp}$, we obtained is $(3.42\pm 1.39\pm 0.74)%$. We also searched CP asymmetries in $D^+\to K^-K^+π^+$, $D^0\to K^-K^+$ and $D^0\to π^-π^+$ decay modes. We did not see any evidence of CP violation by comparing the decay rates for particle and antiparticle.

D0-anti-D0 Mixing and Rare Decays

Current status of charm mixing search, lifetime difference measurement and rare decay search are reported. The best upper limit at 95% CL for mixing is reported from the CLEO collaboration. E791 has reported lifetime difference measurement and results of rare decay searches. Rare decay searches of the FOCUS collaboration are in progress and their sensitivities to branching ratios are at the level of a few x 10^{-6}.
