Abstract

The charmless decays B^±→K⁺K^-π^± and B^±→π⁺π^-π^± are reconstructed in a data set of pp collisions with an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^-1 and center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected by LHCb in 2011. The inclusive charge asymmetries of these modes are measured to be A_CP(B^±→ K⁺K^-π^±)=-0.141±0.040 (stat)±0.018 (syst)±0.007(J/ψ K^±) and A_CP(B^±→ π⁺π^-π^±)=0.117±0.021 (stat)±0.009 (syst)±0.007(J/ψ K^±), where the third uncertainty is due to the CP asymmetry of the B^±→ J/ψK^± reference mode. In addition to the inclusive CP asymmetries, larger asymmetries are observed in localized regions of phase space.
