Searches for CP violation in charm decays at BABAR

Abstract

In the Standard Model violation in charm decays is expected to be very small, at the level of 0.1% or less. A significant excess of violation with respect to the Standard Model predictions would be a signature of new physics. We report on recent searches for violation in charm meson decays at , using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 470 . In particular, we report on searches for in the 3-body → decay and for decay modes with a in the final state, such as →, →, →. A lifetime ratio analysis of →, with respect to → decays, which is sensitive to - mixing and violation, is also presented here.
