M(KK)

• Extremely good proper time resolution : 8% (D0)

– No resolution systematics or error inflation

• A segmented target with ~62% of decays verticizing in air

– Grossly minimizes absorption corrections in matter

• Excellent (and flexible) Cerenkov identification

– Vary misidentification reflections to gauge systematics.

• Skims use a vertexing algorithm with nearly flat t’ acceptance

– Minimizes any reliance on MC and reduces systematic error

• We expect to measure y to within 1.3%

Primary vtx track

Recoil charm track

Nearly uniform time acceptance --right up to the skim cut!

Nucleate about seed track to form a primary vertex.
