Mixing and CP violation in D-0 -> K-pi(+) decays

We review the experimental methods to measure mixing and time-dependent CP violation in D-0 decays into two hadrons. While these phenomena are usually neglected for D-0 -> K-pi(+) decays, this approximation is not always justified. In particular, it produces a bias on the measurement of the parameter y(CP), when this is performed by relying on D-0 -> K-pi(+) decays as a normalisation channel, whose size is around 40% of the precision of the current world average. Finally, we estimate the sensitivity to the weak mixing phases achievable by studying D-0 -> K-pi(+) and untagged D -> K-pi(+) decays, where D stands for either of the D-0 and (D) over bar (0) mesons. Contrary to Cabibbo-suppressed D-0 -> h(+)h(-) decays, these decay channels allow to measure these phases without final-state dependent nuisance contributions from the decay amplitudes, but their sensitivity is lower by a factor of six.
