Abstract
We measure the direct CP violation asymmetry, A[subscript CP], in B → X[subscript s]γ and the isospin difference of the asymmetry, ΔA[subscript CP], using 429 fb[superscript -1] of data collected at ϒ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e[superscript +]e[superscript -] storage rings operating at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. B mesons are reconstructed from ten charged B final states and six neutral B final states. We find A[subscript CP] = +(1.7 ± 1.9 ± 1.0)%, which is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and provides an improvement on the world average. Moreover, we report the first measurement of the difference between A[subscript CP] for charged and neutral decay modes, ΔA[subscript CP] = +(5.0 ± 3.9 ± 1.5)%. Using the value of ΔA[subscript CP], we also provide 68% and 90% confidence intervals on the imaginary part of the ratio of the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the chromomagnetic dipole and the electromagnetic dipole transitions.
