Search for violation in D0 and D+ decays

2000, Physics Letters B

Abstract

A high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay modes We have measured the following CP asymmetry parameters: A CP (K -K + π + ) = +0.006 ± 0.011 ± 0.005, A CP (K -K + ) = -0.001 ± 0.022 ± 0.015 and A CP (π -π + ) = +0.048 ± 0.039 ± 0.025 where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic. These asymmetries are consistent with zero with smaller errors than previous measurements.
