Measurement of CP asymmetry in D0→K0SK0S decays with the upgraded LHCb detector

Where:  

503/1-001 at CERN

The study of CP violation in charm mesons provides a complementary probe for possible interactions beyond the Standard Model with respect to beauty mesons, and allows the exploration of even higher energy scales. The LHCb experiment collected the largest sample of charm hadrons ever, order of billions of decays, and reported the first observation of CP violation in D0→K+K- and D0→pi+pi- decays in 2019, marking a milestone in flavour physics.  However, the compatibility of the observation with the Standard Model is still debated, and providing complementary experimental results is a crucial step towards clarifying the physics picture. In this seminar, a new measurement of the time-integrated CP asymmetry in the decay D0->KsKs will be presented. The analysis has been performed using data collected by the LHCb experiment in 2024. This dataset marks the beginning of a new era for LHCb, enabled by an upgraded detector featuring enhanced tracking, improved vertex resolution, and a software-based trigger system. Thanks to these improvements, unprecedented precision in charm physics can now be achieved.
