Abstract

A measurement of CP asymmetry in D⁰ → K⁰_SK⁰_S decays is reported, based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector in 2024 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.2 fb⁻¹. The D⁰ → K⁰_Sπ⁺π⁻ decay is used as calibration channel to cancel residual detection and production asymmetries. The time-integrated CP asymmetry for the D⁰ → K⁰_SK⁰_S mode
is measured to be

A^CP (D⁰ → K⁰_SK⁰_S) = (1.86 ± 1.04 ± 0.41)%,

where the first uncertainty is statistical, and the second is systematic. This measurement represents the most precise single-experiment determination of this quantity to date.
