  ABSTRACT: We observe evidence for CP violation in the decay $D^+\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^+$ using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 977 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. The CP asymmetry in the decay is measured to be $(-0.363\pm0.094\pm0.067)%$, which is 3.2 standard deviations away from zero, and is consistent with the expected CP violation due to the neutral kaon in the final state.

  ABSTRACT: We have searched for CP violation in the decays $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S P^0$ where $P^0$ denotes a neutral pseudo-scalar meson which is either a $\pi^0$, $\eta$, or $\eta'$ using KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 791 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector. No evidence of significant CP violation is observed. We report the most precise CP asymmetry measurement in the decay $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^0$ to date: $A_{CP}^{D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^0}=(-0.28\pm0.19\pm0.10)%$. We also report the first measurements of CP asymmetries in the decays $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\eta$ and $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\eta'$: $A_{CP}^{D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\eta}=(+0.54\pm0.51\pm0.16)%$ and $A_{CP}^{D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\eta'}=(+0.98\pm0.67\pm0.14)%$, respectively.
