Abstract

A search for the CP-violating strong decays η → π+ π− and η′(958) → π+ π− has been performed using approximately 2.5 × 10^7 events of each of the decays D+ → π+ π+ π− and Ds+ → π+ π+ π−, recorded by the LHCb experiment. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^−1 of pp collision data recorded during LHC Run 1 and 0.3 fb^−1 recorded in Run 2. No evidence is seen for D+(s) → π+ η(′) with η(′) → π+ π−, and upper limits at 90% confidence level are set on the branching fractions, B(η → π+ π−) < 1.6 × 10^−5 and B(η′ → π+ π−) < 1.8×10^−5. The limit for the η decay is comparable with the existing one, while that for the η′ is a factor of three smaller than the previous limit.
