We measure the dimuon charge asymmetry A in pp̅ collisions at a center of mass energy √s=1960 GeV. The data was recorded with the D0 detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 1.0 fb-1. Assuming that the asymmetry A is due to asymmetric B0↔B̅ 0 mixing and decay, we extract the CP-violation parameter of B0 mixing and decay: ℜ(ϵB0)/1+|ϵB0|2=AB0/4= -0.0023±0.0011(stat)±0.0008(syst).AB0 is the dimuon charge asymmetry from decays of B0B̅ 0 pairs. The general case, with CP violation in both B0 and Bs0 systems, is also considered. Finally we obtain the forward-backward asymmetry that quantifies the tendency of μ+ to go in the proton direction and μ- to go in the antiproton direction. The results are consistent with the standard model and constrain new physics.
