Two-Particle Correlations and $B^0{\bar{B}}^0$ Mixing

Abstract

We study the EPR correlation implied by the entangled wavefunction of the $B^0{\bar{B}}^0$ pair created by the ${\rm Y}$(4S) resonance. The analysis uses the basis provided by the mass eigenstates $B_1,B_2$ rather than the flavour states $B^0,{\bar{B}}^0$. Data on the inclusive dilepton charge ratio are close to the expectation of quantum mechanics, but nearly 8 standard deviations away from that of complete decoherence.
