Measurement of CP violation in B0→D+D− decays

The CP violation observables S and C in the decay channel B0→D+D− are determined from a sample of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. The observable S describes CP violation in t...

Description
Summary:The CP violation observables S and C in the decay channel B0→D+D− are determined from a sample of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. The observable S describes CP violation in the interference between mixing and the decay amplitude, and C parametrizes direct CP violation in the decay. The following values are obtained from a flavor-tagged, decay-time-dependent analysis: S=−0.54+0.17−0.16(stat)±0.05(syst), C=0.26+0.18−0.17(stat)±0.02(syst). These values provide evidence for CP violation at a significance level of 4.0 standard deviations. The phase shift due to higher-order standard model corrections is constrained to a small value of Δϕ=−0.16+0.19−0.21 rad.
