Resumo:
In the last decade, since the beginning of the operation of the LHC, the Standard Model of particle physics has been tested with unprecedented precision, with enormous success. One of its experiment is LHCb, dedicated to the physics of hadrons containing the beauty and charm quarks. One of the important research topics of the LHCb is the study of the effects of particle-antiparticle asymmetry in decay processes, due to the so-called charge-parity violation (CP). CP violation is predicted by the Standard Model and, in decays involving the charm quark, it can occur in certain processes called Cabibbo-suppressed. However, this effect is very small, of the order of 0.1 percent. This smallness makes the environment of charm decays attractive to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The aim of this work is the study of sensitivity for CP violation in the channels D+ -> K-K+π+ and D+ -> π-π+π+ in run II of the LHCb. Through the phase space of these decays, called Dalitz Plot, and the use of the Mirandizing method, which is based on looking for local significance in the difference in the distribution of events for particle and antiparticle Dalitz Plots, one can seek for local asymmetries that would indicate effects of CP violation in these decays. Based on the data statistics taken between 2016 and 2018 at the LHCb, pseudo experiments were performed, using the Monte Carlo method, aiming to reproduce the dynamics of real data, and inserting small effects of CP violation. We found that there is sensitivity for CP violation with effects of the order of 10−3 in some situations, which is the expected level predicted by the Standard Model, indicating a possibility for observing CP violation in the real data from run II.
