Abstract:
A search for time-integrated CP violation in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay
$D^0\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^0$ is performed using for the first time an unbinned
model-independent technique known as the energy test. Using proton-proton
collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb$^{-1}$
collected by the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 8
TeV, the world's best sensitivity to CP violation in this decay is obtained.
The data are found to be consistent with the hypothesis of CP symmetry with a
p-value of (2.6 +/- 0.5)%.
