This is the first application of the energy test in four-body decays. The search is performed for P-even CP asymmetries and, for the first time, is extended to probe the P-odd case. Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of √{ s} = 7 TeV and 8 TeV, the world's best sensitivity to CP violation in this decay is obtained. The data are found to be consistent with the hypothesis of CP symmetry with a p-value of (4.6 ± 0.5)% in the P-even case, and marginally consistent with a p-value of (0.6 ± 0.2)% in the P-odd case, corresponding to a significance for CP non-conservation of 2.7 standard deviations.12 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Camboni, Alessandro et al., 2017https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsFísica de partículesExperimentsHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Particle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6780032022-06-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
