Abstract:We make here a brief estimate of the feasibility of observing the D0 meson through its decay D0->K\pi with the statistics available in year 2 data. The measurement we describe involves the standard mixed event method: reconstructing the invariant mass of the D from its daughter particles and using mixed-events to subtract the background.
