D0In the SM, BF dominated by Long Distance (LD)
contributions. Quite reliably estimated via:
A variety of NP scenarios1 on the market
Loop amplitudes (4th quark generation, RPV-SUSY,…)
Tree level amplitudes (Heavy vector-like quarks, New Z’ bosons, RPV-SUSY)

NP up to ~10-9 with RPV-SUSY tree level transitions

D at LHCb
Measurement relative to the D0 channel (as Belle)
Need low backgrounds…
… and high efficiency…. … and large yields.
Large X-sections: (D*+)= 676137 b
Can use D* and still have large yields
Good muon-ID
Very efficient muon trigger (>90%)
Low - misID rate(<1%)
Keep D quiet although B()/B()>105
Combinatorial high in pp collisions.
Easy to have large control samples: DK for (efficiency and misID rate), J/psi() (trigger and muID efficiency), etc…
All stored thanks to a flexible trigger (many channels, prescales, etc…)
… and everything precisely known !

BF not known: B(D0KK) <3.10-5 & B(D0)<3.10-5 [PDG]
Question: What can this BF be in reality ? 10-7 ? 10-6 ?
Assuming B~10-5 and the same efficiency as for D04h (see
yields later): just a few 103 events in 1 fb-1
Question: are there good reasons to expect NP in D0 decays via T-odd
distributions ? It seems the only place where a mechanism is foreseen to
produce a large effect are DL decays (analogy with KLee).
Question: more hope with D0K-++- ?
Several more years, or even the upgrade to measure observables like
AFB [1] or T-odd asymmetries [4] at the percent level…
Our plan for 2011/2012: measure Branching ratios !

Motivations
NP can be subtle and happen only in some particular
regions of the phase space.
In this case, differential measurements are more sensitive.
Dalitz plots
T-odd distributions.
It takes a lot of statistics:
LHCb can provide it !

One of our 1st results, based on 2010 data (35 pb-1)

Model independent search for CPV (Miranda Approach)
Compare D+ and D- Dalitz plots bin per bin.
Look for an overall significant difference.

D+K-K++ PHYSICAL REVIEW D 84, 112008 (2011)
Key features:
High signal statistics.
Control of the artificial asymmetries thanks to large control
samples: D+K-++, DSK-K++
Larger than in all previous
studies (Babar, Belle, CLEO-c)
35 pb-135 pb-1

D+K-K++ PHYSICAL REVIEW D 84, 112008 (2011)
Key features: adaptive binning to enhance sensitivity to CPV
SCP across the DP
for the signal
Similar plots for the
control samples reveal
no artificial asymmetry.
Result: p-value corresponding to
No evidence
for CPV !

Near future: 2011 data set (1 fb-1)
Update of the 2010 analysis
D+K-K++ expected yield: O(107)
Add DCS modes: lower BF, but less SM background to CPV
D+K-K+K+ expected yield: O(105)
D+-+K+ expected yield: O(105)
Additional SCS modes in the game
D+-++ expected yield: O(106)
DS-+K+ expected yield: O(106)
May be good enough to discover CPV, if any, if large enough.
At the condition of an even better control of fake asymmetries

D0+-+- & D0K+K-+-
A similar model-independent approach is used again here.
(Analysis on going)
Many common features
Need for a large control sample: D0K- ++-
sophisticated binning determination across Dalitz plots
One difference: harder to reach high purity with a 4-body f-state
A Neural Network has to be used.

D*SD0 ( -++- )
One order of magnitude below the 3-body modes.

Search for a T-odd asymmetry
The angle between the KK and decays planes is a T-odd
variable that can be used to find T/CP violation effect.
A0 possible even with no T/CPV, due to strong phases. Look at:
D0 K-K++- can be used for that.

Conclusions
Should improve our knowledge by one/two orders of magnitude.
High stat but also control of the systematics more and more crucial.
Impact on NP models ?
LHCb is a charm factory: many rare or multibody charm decay
modes are studied (more modes than physicists !).
Work has started on modes not mentioned here
Ex: cp
First results are there, or will be in months to come.

D0KK,
- Two amplitudes. First is small (violates CP). Second happens to be as small.
- This causes large interference Large CPV.
One of the largest known CPV effect in KLee, via T-odd distrib.

D0
Natural extension to D+(S) h
Not all NP model predict large effects on
the Branching Ratio
FB asymmetry looks more promising
(Ex: [,]). Although only ~5%.

One can also look for CP violation in
T-odd distributions [8]
LHCb plans ?

D0
Later in this talk we’ll see D0 peaks.
Assuming a similar efficiency (muons
help but it’s harder to be pure with a
smaller branching ratio).

Expect in 2011 data (1fb-1)
only a few events in the high AFB zone

T-odd measurements with DKK and D
- [8] Bigi & al, arXiv:1110.2862v1
The angle between the hh and decays planes is a T-odd
variable that can be used to find T/CP violation effects [8]
D0 decays can be used
A0 possible even with no T/CPV, due to strong phases. Look at:

T-odd measurements with DKK and D
- [8] Bigi & al, arXiv:1110.2862v1
In [8], it looks like the only place where one can think of
specific mechanism for large T/CP violation is DL decays , in
analogy with KLee…
- Two amplitudes. First is small (violates CP). Second happens to be as small.
- This causes large interference Large CPV.
DL are difficult to prepare at LHCb…
Plans for Dhh: start with BF measurements
- Clarify the situation.
- Small values would suggest a suppression mechanism that can make the
above interference larger.
- Would motivate Super flavor factories to run at the (3770).

GIM mechanism very strong in charm decays (md-mb << mu-mt).
Provides very rare FCNC decays (SM): powerful tool to seek NP.
