We search for CP violation in neutral charm meson decays using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 966 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. The asymmetry obtained in the rate of D^0 and D^0-bar decays to the pi^0 pi^0 final state, [-0.03+-0.64(stat)+-0.10(syst)]%, is consistent with no CP violation. This constitutes an order of magnitude improvement over the existing result. We also present an updated measurement of the CP asymmetry in the D^0 -> K_S pi^0 decay: A_{CP}(D^0 -> K_S pi^0) = [-0.21+-0.16(stat)+-0.07(syst)]%.
A search for time-dependent violation of the charge-parity symmetry in $D^0 to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 to pi^+ pi^-$ decays is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb$^{-1}$. The $D^0$ meson is required to originate from a $D^*(2010)^+ to D^0 pi^+$ decay, such that its flavour at production is identified by the charge of the accompanying pion. The slope of the time-dependent asymmetry of the decay rates of $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$ mesons into the final states under consideration is measured to be $Delta Y_{K^+ K^-} = (-2.3 pm 1.5 pm 0.3) times 10^{-4}$, $Delta Y_{pi^+ pi^-} = (-4.0 pm 2.8 pm 0.4)times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are compatible with the conservation of the $CP$ symmetry at the level of 2 standard deviations and improve the precision by nearly a factor of two.
A search for time-integrated CP violation in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0topi^-pi^+pi^0$ is performed using for the first time an unbinned model-independent technique known as the energy test. Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV, the worlds best sensitivity to CP violation in this decay is obtained. The data are found to be consistent with the hypothesis of CP symmetry with a p-value of (2.6 +/- 0.5)%.
A search for charge-parity ($CP$) violation in Cabibbo-suppressed $D_s^+to K_S^0 pi^+$, $D^+to K_S^0 K^+$ and $D^+to phi pi^+$ decays is reported using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.8 fb$^{-1}$, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. High-yield samples of kinematically and topologically similar Cabibbo-favored $D_{(s)}^+$ decays are analyzed to subtract nuisance asymmetries due to production and detection effects, including those induced by $CP$ violation in the neutral kaon system. The results are begin{align*} mathcal{A}_{CP}(D_s^+to K_S^0 pi^+) &=left(phantom{-}1.3phantom{0}pm1.9phantom{0}pm0.5phantom{0}right)times10^{-3}, mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^+to K_S^0 K^+) &=left(-0.09pm0.65pm0.48right)times10^{-3}, mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^+to phi pi^+) &=left(phantom{-}0.05pm0.42pm0.29right)times10^{-3}, end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. They are the most precise measurements of these quantities to date, and are consistent with $CP$ symmetry.
We report a measurement of time-dependent $CP$ violation in $B^0 to K^0_S pi^0 pi^0$ decays using a data sample of $772 times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected by the Belle experiment runnin g at the $Upsilon (4S)$ resonance at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. This decay proceeds mainly via a $bto sdbar{d}$ penguin amplitude. The results are $sin 2phi^{rm eff}_1 = 0.92^{+0.27}_{-0.31}~$ (stat.) $pm 0.11$ (syst.) and $mathcal{A} = 0.28 pm 0.21$ (stat.) $pm 0.04$ (syst.), which are the most precise measurements of $CP$ violati on in this decay mode to date. The value for the $CP$-violating parameter $sin 2phi^{rm eff}_1$ is consistent with that obtained using decay modes proceeding via a $bto cbar{c}s$ tree amplitude.
A search for $CP$ violation using $T$-odd correlations is performed using the four-body $D^0 to K^+K^-pi^+pi^-$ decay, selected from semileptonic $B$ decays. The data sample corresponds to integrated luminosities of $1.0,text{fb}^{-1}$ and $2.0,text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded at the centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, respectively. The $CP$-violating asymmetry $a_{CP}^{Ttext{-odd}}$ is measured to be $(0.18pm 0.29text{(stat)}pm 0.04text{(syst)})%$. Searches for $CP$ violation in different regions of phase space of the four-body decay, and as a function of the $D^0$ decay time, are also presented. No significant deviation from the $CP$ conservation hypothesis is found.
