Abstract

A data sample collected with the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb −1 is used to measure eleven CP violation observables in B ±→ Dh ± decays, where h is either a kaon or a pion. The neutral D meson decay is reconstructed in the three-body final states: K ±π π 0; π +π π 0; K +K π 0 and the suppressed π ±K π 0 combination. The mode where a large CP asymmetry is expected, B ±→ [π ±K π 0] DK ±, is observed with a significance greater than seven standard deviations. The ratio of the partial width of this mode relative to that of the favoured mode, B ±→ [K ±π π 0] DK ±, is R ADS(K) = (1.27 ± 0.16 ± 0.02) × 10 −2. Evidence for a large CP asymmetry is also seen: A ADS(K) = −0.38 ± 0.12 ± 0.02. Constraints on the CKM angle γ are calculated from the eleven reported observables.
