Measurement of $CP$ violation in $B^0\to D^{\ast \pm }{D}^{\mp }$ decays

Abstract

The decay-time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0\to D^{\ast \pm }{D}^{\mp }$ decays is measured using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9$fb${}^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The $CP$ parameters are measured as $S_{D^{\ast }D}=-0.861\pm 0.077\text{(stat)}\pm 0.019\text{(syst)},$ $\Delta S_{D^{\ast }D}=0.019\pm 0.075\text{(stat)}\pm 0.012\text{(syst)},$ $C_{D^{\ast }D}=-0.059\pm 0.092\text{(stat)}\pm 0.020\text{(syst)},$ $\Delta C_{D^{\ast }D}=-0.031\pm 0.092\text{(stat)}\pm 0.016\text{(syst)},$ ${\mathcal{A}}_{D^{\ast }D}=0.008\pm 0.014\text{(stat)}\pm 0.006\text{(syst)}.$ The analysis provides the most precise single measurement of $CP$ violation in this decay channel to date. All parameters are consistent with their current world average values.
