We measure the CP asymmetry parameters S=-1.23±0.21(stat)±0.04(syst) and C=-0.20±0.19(stat) ±0.03(syst), where the measured value of (S, C) is 4.0 standard deviations from (0, 0) including systematic uncertainties. The branching fraction is determined to be B(B0→J/ψπ0)=[1.69±0.14(stat) ±0.07(syst)]×10-5. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
