Abstract
A search for direct CP violation in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay
D

$$ {D}_s^{+} $$
→ K−K+K+ and in the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D+ → K−K+K+ is reported. The analysis is performed with data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 fb−1. The search is conducted by comparing the

→ K−K+K+ decay and 31.6% for the D+ → K−K+K+ decay. No evidence for CP violation is observed in these decays.
