Abstract

A search for CP violation in Λ b 0 →pK and Λ b 0 →pπ decays is presented using a sample of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb −1 . The CP -violating asymmetries are measured to be 
A CP pK =−0.020±0.013±0.019 and
A CP =−0.035±0.017±0.020, and their difference
A CP pK −A CP =0.014±0.022±0.010, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise measurements of such asymmetries to date.
