Angular analysis of $D^0\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ and $D^0\to K^{+}{K}^{-}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ decays and search for $CP$ violation

Abstract

The first full angular analysis and an updated measurement of the decay-rate $CP$ asymmetry of the $D^0\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ and $D^0\to K^{+}{K}^{-}{\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ decays are reported. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb${}^{-1}$. The full set of $CP$-averaged angular observables and their $CP$ asymmetries are measured as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are consistent with expectations from the standard model and with $CP$ symmetry.
