Abstract
A search for the CP-violating strong decays η → π+π− and η'(958) → π+π− has been performed using approximately 2.5 × 107 events of each of the decays D+ → π+π+π− and , 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  with η(') → π+π− and upper limits at 90% confidence level are set on the branching fractions,  and . 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.File in questo prodotto:
