Abstract

The direct CP asymmetries of the decays B0 → K*0 μ+ μ− and B+ → K+ μ+ μ− are measured using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1 collected with the LHCb detector. The respective control modes B0 → J/ψ K*0 and B+ → J/ψ K+ are used to account for detection and production asymmetries. The measurements are made in several intervals of μ+ μ− invariant mass squared, with the ϕ(1020) and charmonium resonance regions excluded. Under the hypothesis of zero CP asymmetry in the control modes, the average values of the asymmetries are A_CP(B0 → K*0 μ+ μ−) = −0.035 ± 0.024 ± 0.003, A_CP(B+ → K+ μ+ μ−) = 0.012 ± 0.017 ± 0.001, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are due to systematic effects. Both measurements are consistent with the Standard Model prediction of small CP asymmetry in these decays.
