Abstract

A search for $C P$ violation in $\Lambda^0_b \to p K^-$ and $\Lambda^0_b \to p \pi^-$ decays is presented using a sample of $pp$ collisions collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$. The $C P$-violating asymmetries are measured to be $A_{\mathrm{CP}}^{pK^-} = -0.020 \pm 0.013\pm 0.019$ and $A_{\mathrm{CP}}^{p\pi^-} = -0.035 \pm 0.017 \pm 0.020 $, and their difference $A_{\mathrm{CP}}^{pK^-}-A_{\mathrm{CP}}^{p\pi^-} = 0.014 \pm 0.022 \pm 0.010$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise measurements of such asymmetries to date.

Figures and captions

Invariant-mass distributions: (top left) $m_{ p K ^- }$, (top right) $m_{\overline p K ^+ }$, (bottom left) $m_{ p \pi ^- }$ and (bottom right) $m_{\overline p \pi ^+ }$ for candidates passing the (top) $ S_{ p K ^- }$ and (bottom) $ S_{ p \pi ^- }$ selections. The results of the fits are superimposed.

Distributions of (top) momentum, (middle) transverse momentum and (bottom) pseudorapidity for (left) protons from $\Lambda ^0_ b $ decays and (right) $\Lambda ^0_ b $ baryons. The distributions are background-subtracted and normalised to unit area. Below each plot the ratio between the two distributions corresponding to $\Lambda ^0_ b \rightarrow p K ^- $ and $\Lambda ^0_ b \rightarrow p \pi ^- $ decays is also shown.
