To appear in the proceedings of the 47th Rencontres de Moriond on QCD and High-Energy Interactions, 2012", "categories": [ "hep-ph" ], "abstract": "Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. An interesting question is whether this measurement can be explained within the standard model. In this review, I would like to convey two messages: First, large penguin contractions can plausibly account for this measurement and lead to a consistent picture, also explaining the difference between the decay rates of the two modes. Second, \"new physics\" contributions are by no means excluded; viable models exist and can possibly be tested.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-05-30T18:48:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "direct cp violation", "d-meson decays", "direct cp asymmetries", "large penguin contractions", "decay rates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1116548, "adsabs": "2012arXiv1205.6776B" } } }
