A Measurement of 
from 
with the CDF Detector
Abstract:
We report an updated direct measurement of the Standard Model CP
violation parameter 
using the CDF Detector at Fermilab.
We use the entire Run-I data sample of 110 pb
of proton anti-proton
collisions. Our previous published result used a sample
of 
events (
events) in which
the 
and 
tracks were fully contained within the
silicon vertex detector (SVX) and therefore had precision lifetime
information. The SVX
provides precision vertex information for about 50% of the luminous region.
The same-side tagging method was used to identify
the flavor of the B meson at the time of production.
In this analysis,
we have combined three tagging methods: a same-side tag, a
soft-lepton tag, and a jet-charge tag, and also added events
that have
less precise lifetime information due to the fact they are
not fully contained within the acceptance of the SVX.
The signal sample consists of
events.
A maximum likelihood fitting method is used to measure
(stat+syst).
We find the probability that 
is 95%,
using a Bayesian method, or
alternatively, we calculate
a 93% confidence interval of
using the Feldman-Cousins method.
This direct measurement is the best evidence for CP violation
in the neutral B meson system to date and favors
the Standard Model prediction of a large CP symmetry violation
in the b quark system.
This result supersedes our recent published result and should be
considered preliminary.
Here
is a conference style summary of the analysis.
