Abstract

A search for CP violation in Cabibbo-suppressed D± → K0
SK± and D±s →K0S π± decays is performed using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment. The individual CP-violating asymmetries are measured to be
AD±→K0SK±CP = (+0.03 ± 0.17 ± 0.14)%
AD±s →K0Sπ±CP = (+0.38 ± 0.46 ± 0.17)%,
assuming that CP violation in the Cabibbo-favoured decays is negligible. A combination of the measured asymmetries for the four decay modes D±(s) → K0SK± and D±(s) → K0S π±gives the sum
AD±→K0SK±CP + AD±s →K0Sπ±CP = (+0.41 ± 0.49 ± 0.26)%.
In all cases, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results represent the most precise measurements of these asymmetries to date and show no evidence for CP violation.
