Abstract

We report final measurements of direct CP-violating asymmetries in charmless decays of neutral bottom hadrons to pairs of charged hadrons with the upgraded Collider Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using the complete s=1.96TeV proton-antiproton collisions data set, corresponding to 9.3fb1 of integrated luminosity, we measure A(Λb0pπ)=+0.06±0.07(stat)±0.03(syst) and A(Λb0pK)=0.10±0.08(stat)±0.04(syst), compatible with no asymmetry. In addition we measure the CP-violating asymmetries in Bs0Kπ+ and B0K+π decays to be A(Bs0Kπ+)=+0.22±0.07(stat)±0.02(syst) and A(B0K+π)=0.083±0.013(stat)±0.004(syst), respectively, which are significantly different from zero and consistent with current world averages.

    Distribution of the average value of κsum (a) and κdif (b) as a function of mπ+π. The fit function is overlaid. For reference, the distribution of mπ+π is shown by the dashed lower histogram. Dashed vertical lines indicate the position, from left to right, of the following signals: B0K+π, Bs0Kπ+, Λb0pK, Λb0pπ.
