Abstract
A measurement of the CP asymmetry in B[superscript +] → K[superscript +]μ[superscript +]μ[superscript −] decays is presented using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0  fb[superscript −1], recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The measurement is performed in seven bins of μ[superscript +]μ[superscript −] invariant mass squared in the range 0.05 < q[superscript 2] < 22.00  GeV[superscript 2]/c[superscript 4], excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S) resonance regions. Production and detection asymmetries are corrected for using the B[superscript +] → J/ψK[superscript +] decay as a control mode. Averaged over all the bins, the CP asymmetry is found to be ACP= 0.000 ± 0.033 (stat) ± 0.005 (syst) ± 0.007 (J/ψK), where the third uncertainty is due to the CP asymmetry of the control mode. This is consistent with the standard model prediction.
