abstract
A search for charge-parity ($C\!P$) violation in $D^0 \to K^- K^+$ and $D^0 \to \pi^- \pi^+$ decays is reported, using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. The flavor of the charm meson is inferred from the charge of the pion in $D^*(2010)^+ \to D^0 \pi^+$ decays or from the charge of the muon in $\overline{B} \to D^0 \mu^-\bar{\nu}_\mu X$ decays. The difference between the $C\!P$ asymmetries in $D^0 \to K^- K^+$ and $D^0 \to \pi^- \pi^+$ decays is measured to be $\Delta A_{C\!P} = [ -18.2 \pm 3.2\,(\rm stat.) \pm 0.9\,(\rm syst.) ] \times 10^{-4}$ for $\pi$-tagged and $\Delta A_{C\!P} = [ -9 \pm 8\,(\rm stat.) \pm 5\,(\rm syst.) ] \times 10^{-4} $ for $\mu$-tagged $D^0$ mesons. Combining these with previous LHCb results leads to $$\Delta A_{C\!P} = ( -15.4 \pm 2.9) \times 10^{-4},$$ where the uncertainty includes both statistical and systematic contributions. The measured value differs from zero by more than five standard deviations. This is the first observation of $C\!P$ violation in the decay of charm hadrons.

Rescattering enhances the anti-D0 Lambda branching fraction by two orders of magnitude and produces large direct CP asymmetries (0.28 and -0.14) in Lambda_b to Lambda D channels.
A Legendre-polynomial-zero partitioning scheme with sign weighting defines new observables A±^asy,l and ACP^asy,l that isolate interference versus non-interference terms in CP asymmetries for heavy meson decays.
The Left-Right Inverse Seesaw model generates a non-decoupling scalar operator that enhances the differential forward-backward CP asymmetry A_CP^FB(s) near K* and K0* resonances in τ → Kπν_τ while leaving the integrated asymmetry too small to explain the BaBar result.
