Abstract: (arXiv)
We search for CP violation in a sample of 20000 Cabibbo-suppressed decays, D+K+KS0π+πD^+\rightarrow K^+K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-, and 30000 Cabibbo-favored decays, Ds+K+KS0π+πD_s^+\rightarrow K^+K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-. We use 520 fb1fb^{-1} of data recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider operating at center of mass energies near 10.6 GeVGeV. We search for CP violation in the difference between the TT-odd asymmetries obtained using triple product correlations of the D+D^+ (Ds+D_s^+) and DD^- (DsD_s^-) decays, respectively. The TT violation parameter values obtained are AT(D+)=(12.0±10.0stat±4.6syst)×103\mathcal{A}_T(D^+) = (-12.0 \pm 10.0_{stat} \pm 4.6_{syst})\times 10^{-3} and AT(Ds+)=(13.6±7.7stat±3.4syst)×103\mathcal{A}_T(D_s^+) = (-13.6 \pm 7.7_{stat} \pm 3.4_{syst}) \times10^{-3}, which are consistent with the standard model expectations.
