Abstract

A search for time-dependent violation of the charge-parity symmetry in D⁰→K⁺K^- and D⁰→π⁺π^- decays is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded from 2015 to 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^-1. The D⁰ meson is required to originate from a D^∗(2010)⁺→D⁰π⁺ decay, such that its flavor at production is identified by the charge of the accompanying pion. The slope of the time-dependent asymmetry of the decay rates of D⁰ and D̅⁰ mesons into the final states under consideration is measured to be ΔY_K+K-=(-2.3±1.5±0.3)×10^-4, ΔY_π+π-=(-4.0±2.8±0.4)×10^-4, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are compatible with the conservation of the charge-parity symmetry at the level of 2 standard deviations and improve the precision by nearly a factor of 2.
