Abstract:
We have compared the proton and antiproton angular distributions in 117 million Xi-minus -> Lambda + pi-minus -> proton + pi-minus + pi-minus and 41 million anti-Xi-minus -> anti-Lamba + pi-plus -> antiproton + pi-plus + pi-plus decays using a subset of the data from the HyperCP experiment (E871) at Fermilab. We find no evidence of CP violation, with the direct-CP-violating parameter AΞΛ=αΞαΛαˉΞαˉΛαΞαΛ+αˉΞαˉΛ=[0.0+/5.1(stat)+/4.4(syst)]×104A_{\Xi\Lambda} = \frac{\alpha_{\Xi}\alpha_{\Lambda} - \bar{\alpha}_{\Xi}\bar{\alpha}_{\Lambda}}{\alpha_{\Xi}\alpha_{\Lambda} + \bar{\alpha}_{\Xi}\bar{\alpha}_{\Lambda}} = [0.0+/-5.1(stat)+/-4.4(syst)]{\times}10^{-4}.
