Time-dependent $CP$ asymmetries in the decay rates of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^0rightarrow K^-K^+$ and $D^0rightarrow pi^-pi^+$ are measured in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial state as $D^0$ or $bar{D}^0$. The asymmetries in effective lifetimes between $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$ decays, which are sensitive to indirect $CP$ violation, are determined to be begin{align*} A_{Gamma}(K^-K^+) = (-0.134 pm 0.077 ; {}^{+0.026}_{-0.034})% , A_{Gamma}(pi^-pi^+) = (-0.092pm 0.145 ; {}^{+0.025}_{-0.033})% , end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. This result is in agreement with previous measurements and with the hypothesis of no indirect $CP$ violation in $D^0$ decays.

A measurement of the time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0rightarrow K^-K^+$ is performed using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The flavour of the charm meson at production is determined from the charge of the pion in $D^{*+}rightarrow D^0 pi^+$ and $D^{*-}rightarrow bar{D^0} pi^-$ decays. The time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is obtained assuming negligible $CP$ violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured $D^0rightarrow K^-pi^+$, $D^+rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^+$ and $D^+rightarrow bar{K^0}pi^+$ decays used as calibration channels. It is found to be $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)=(0.14pm0.15(stat)pm0.10(syst))%$. A combination of this result with previous LHCb measurements yields $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)=(0.04pm0.12(stat)pm0.10(syst))%$, $A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+)=(0.07pm0.14(stat)pm0.11(syst))%$. These are the most precise measurements from a single experiment. The result for $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is the most precise determination of a time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in the charm sector to date, and neither measurement shows evidence of CP asymmetry.
We report a measurement of the indirect CP-violating asymmetries ($A_{Gamma}$) between effective lifetimes of anticharm and charm mesons reconstructed in $D^0to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0to pi^+pi^-$ decays. We use the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab experiment and corresponding to $9.7$~fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The strong-interaction decay $D^{*+}to D^0pi^+$ is used to identify the meson at production as $D^0$ or $overline{D}^0$. We statistically subtract $D^0$ and $overline{D}^0$ mesons originating from $b$-hadron decays and measure the yield asymmetry between anticharm and charm decays as a function of decay time. We measure $A_Gamma (K^+K^-) = (-0.19 pm 0.15 (stat) pm 0.04 (syst))%$ and $A_Gamma (pi^+pi^-)= (-0.01 pm 0.18 (stat) pm 0.03 (syst))%$. The results are consistent with the hypothesis of CP symmetry and their combination yields $A_Gamma = (-0.12 pm 0.12)%$.
A study of indirect CP violation in $D^0$ mesons through the determination of the parameter $A_Gamma$ is presented using a data sample of $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector and recorded at the centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. The parameter $A_Gamma$ is the asymmetry of the effective lifetimes measured in decays of $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$ mesons to the CP eigenstates $K^-K^+$ and $pi^-pi^+$. Fits to the data sample yield $A_Gamma(KK)=(-0.35pm0.62pm0.12)times 10^{-3}$ and $A_Gamma(pipi)=(0.33pm1.06pm0.14)times 10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results represent the worlds best measurements of these quantities. They show no difference in $A_Gamma$ between the two final states and no indication of CP violation.
The LHCb Collaboration has recently measured the difference of time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in $D^{0}rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ and $D^{0}rightarrow pi^{+}pi^{-}$ decays, more precisely. The reported value is $ Delta A_{CP}=-0.10 pm 0.08 (text{stat}) pm 0.03 (text{syst})% $ which indicates no evidence for $CP$ violation. We consider the possible unparticle physics contribution in this quantity and by using the LCHb data try to constrain the parameter space of unparticle stuff.
A search for decay-time-dependent charge-parity ($CP$) asymmetry 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 at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4fb$^{-1}$. The $D^0$ mesons are required to originate from semileptonic decays of $b$ hadrons, such that the charge of the muon identifies the flavor of the neutral $D$ meson at production. The asymmetries in the effective decay widths of $D^0$ and $overline{D}^0$ mesons are determined to be $A_{Gamma}(K^+K^-) = ( -4.3 pm 3.6 pm 0.5 )times 10^{-4}$ and $A_{Gamma}(pi^+pi^-) = ( 2.2 pm 7.0 pm 0.8)times 10^{-4}$, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The results are consistent with $CP$ symmetry and, when combined with previous LHCb results, yield $A_{Gamma}(K^+K^-) = ( -4.4 pm 2.3 pm 0.6 )times 10^{-4}$ and $A_{Gamma}(pi^+pi^-) = ( 2.5 pm 4.3 pm 0.7)times 10^{-4}$.
