Abstract

Time-integrated CP asymmetries in D⁰ decays to the final states K^- K⁺ and π^- π⁺ are measured using proton-proton collisions corresponding to 3fb^-1 of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. The D⁰ mesons are produced in semileptonic b-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial flavour of the charm meson. The difference in CP asymmetries between the two final states is measured to be Δ A_CP = A_CP (K^- K⁺) - A_CP (π^- π⁺) = (+ 0.14 ± 0.16 (stat) ± 0.08 (syst)) %. A measurement of A_CP (K^- K⁺) is obtained assuming negligible CP violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured D decays. It is found to be A_CP (K^- K⁺) = (- 0.06 ± 0.15 (stat) ± 0.10 (syst)) %, where the correlation coefficient between ΔA_CP and A_CP (K^- K⁺) is ρ = 0.28. By combining these results, the CP asymmetry in the D⁰ → π^- π⁺ channel is A_CP (π^- π⁺) = (-0.20 ± 0.19 (stat) ± 0.10 (syst))%.

A measurement of ACP (K- K+) is obtained assuming negligible CP violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured D decays. It is found to be ACP (K- K+) = (- 0.06 ± 0.15 (stat) ± 0.10 (syst)) %, where the correlation coefficient between ΔACP and ACP (K- K+) is ρ = 0.28. By combining these results, the CP asymmetry in the D0 → π- π+ channel is ACP (π- π+) = (-0.20 ± 0.19 (stat) ± 0.10 (syst))%.
