LHCb Collaboration; Bernet, R; Müller, K; Steinkamp, O; Straumann, U; Vollhardt, A; et al (2016). Measurement of the difference of time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries in $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-} K^{+}$ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$ decays. Physical Review Letters, 116(19):191601.

## Abstract

A search for $CP$ violation in $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-} K^{+}$ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~fb^{-1}$, collected using the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and $8~$TeV. The flavour of the charm meson is inferred from the charge of the pion in $D^{*+}\rightarrow D^0\pi^+$ and $D^{*-}\rightarrow \bar{D^0}\pi^{-}$ decays. The difference between the CP asymmetries in $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-} K^{+}$ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+}$ decays, $\Delta A_{CP} \equiv A_{CP}(K^{-} K^{+})- A_{CP}(\pi^{-} \pi^{+})$, is measured to be $\left( -0.10 \pm 0.08(stat) \pm 0.03(syst) \right) \%$. This is the most precise measurement of a time-integrated CP asymmetry in the charm sector from a single experiment.
