Abstract

We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay B-0-->phiK(0). We use a sample of approximately 114x10(6) B-meson pairs taken at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-meson factory at SLAC. We reconstruct the CP eigenstates phiK(S)(0) and phiK(L)(0), where phi-->K+K-, K-S(0)-->pi(+)pi(-), and K-L(0) is observed via its hadronic interactions. The other B meson in the event is tagged as either a B-0 or (B) over bar (0) from its decay products. The values of the CP-violation parameters are S-phiK=0.47+/-0.34(stat)(-0.06)(+0.08)(syst) and C-phiK=0.01+/-0.33(stat)+/-0.10(syst).
