Description
Summary:We report a measurement of time-integrated CP-violation asymmetries in the resonant substructure of the three-body decay D[superscript 0]→K[subscript S][superscript 0]π[superscript +]π[superscript -] using CDF II data corresponding to 6.0  fb[superscript -1] of integrated luminosity from Tevatron pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96  TeV. The charm mesons used in this analysis come from D[superscript *+](2010)→D[superscript 0]π[superscript +] and D[superscript *-](2010)→D̅[superscript 0]π[superscript -], where the production flavor of the charm meson is determined by the charge of the accompanying pion. We apply a Dalitz-amplitude analysis for the description of the dynamic decay structure and use two complementary approaches, namely, a full Dalitz-plot fit employing the isobar model for the contributing resonances and a model-independent bin-by-bin comparison of the D[superscript 0] and D̅[superscript 0] Dalitz plots. We find no CP-violation effects and measure an asymmetry of ACP=(-0.05±0.57(stat)±0.54(syst))% for the overall integrated CP-violation asymmetry, consistent with the standard model prediction.
