A Review of CP Violation Measurements in Charm at LHCb

The LHCb experiment has been able to collect the largest sample ever produced of charm-hadron decays, performing a number of measurements of observables related to CP violation in the charm sector. In this document, the most recent results from LHCb on the search of direct CP violation in D0→Ks0Ks0, D(s)+→h+π0 and D(s)+→h+η decays are summarised, in addition to the most precise measurement of time-dependent CP asymmetry in D0→h+h− decays and the first observation of mass difference between neutral charm-meson eigenstates.

Implication of chiral symmetry on charm meson spectroscopy

It is demonstrated that, if the lightest positive parity charm mesons are assumed to owe their existence to non-perturbative Goldstone boson-D/D∗ scattering, various puzzles in the charm meson spectrum get resolved. Most importantly the ordering of the lightest strange and non-strange scalars becomes natural. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the amplitudes for Goldstone boson-D/D∗ scattering are fully consistent with the high quality data on decay B−→ D+π−π− provided by LHCb. It implies that the lowest positive-parity charm mesons are dynamically generated rather than quark-antiquark states.
