Proton-proton collision data taken at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV collected by the LHCb detector in 2011 and 2012 are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1 . The Λ + c candidates are reconstructed as part of the Λ 0 b → Λ + c µ −X decay chain. In order to maximize the cancellation of production and detection asymmetries in the difference, the final-state kinematic distributions of the two samples are aligned by applying phase-space-dependent weights to the Λ + c → pπ−π + sample. This alters the definition of the integrated CP asymmetry to A wgt CP (pπ−π +). Both samples are corrected for reconstruction and selection efficiencies across the five-dimensional Λ + c decay phase space. The difference in CP asymmetries is found to be ∆A wgt CP = ACP (pK−K+) − A wgt CP (pπ−π +) = (0.30 ± 0.91 ± 0.61) %, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic21 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Alfonso Albero, Alejandro et al., 2018https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsFísica de partículesExperimentsHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Particle physicsExperimentsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6847082022-05-10info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
