Cp violation analysis of $$D^0\rightarrow M^0 K \rightarrow M^0(\pi ^\pm \ell ^\mp \nu )$$

Abstract CP violation in the charm sector is highly sensitive to new physics due to its small predicted value within the standard model. By this work, we investigated the CP violation in the cascade decay process $$D^0(t_1) \rightarrow \pi ^0 K(t_2) \rightarrow \pi ^0(\pi ^\pm \ell ^\mp \nu )$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∓</mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mi>ν</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .
