CP violation in charm

The existence of CP violation in the decays of strange and beauty mesons is very well established experimentally. On the contrary, CP violation in the decays of charmed particles has been elusive for a long time and has been observed for the first time in 2019 by the LHCb experiment. Since then several studies have been performed in the charm sector. During the LHC Run 1 and Run 2, the LHCb collaboration has collected large samples containing charm hadron decays, on a scale never seen before. Collected data enabled physicists to obtain several new results, most of which surpassed previous results and became new world’s best measurements. Presently the LHCb spectrometer is being upgraded to enhance readout system, improve subdetector components and increase integrated luminosity to 50 fb−1 by the end of Run 4.

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.
