Search for CP violation in D+(s)→h+π0 and D+(s)→h+η decays

Abstract

Searches for CP violation in the two-body decays D+(s)→h+π0 and D+(s)→h+η (where h+ denotes a π+ or K+ meson) are performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to either 9 fb−1 or 6 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The π0 and η mesons are reconstructed using the e+e−γ final state, which can proceed as three-body decays π0 → e+e−γ and η → e+e−γ, or via the two-body decays π0 → γγ and η → γγ followed by a photon conversion. The measurements are made relative to the control modes D+(s)→K0Sh+ to cancel the production and detection asymmetries.
