Quantitative understanding of CP violation is crucial for revealing potential new physics. While some calculations suggest the need for new physics to explain the observations, the authors propose that scalar resonances within the Standard Model might enhance CP violation. Experimental information, especially on f(0)(1790), is limited and further data on these resonances is strongly recommended.
Quantitative understanding of CP violation is extremely important as naturalness reasoning strongly suggests that new physics should be accompanied by beyond the Standard Model CP-odd phases. In 2019 LHCb made the first 5 sigma discovery of CP violation in the charm system, leading to the new world average Delta a(CP)(dir) = -0.00161 +/- 0.00028. While some calculations have found this observation as requiring new physics, we suggest that scalar resonances nearby to m(D0), in particular, f(0)(1710) and/or f(0)(1790) cause enhancements for CP violation within the SM. Thereby, our calculations based on the Standard Model suggest compatibility with the LHCb observations for now. However, experimental information especially on f(0)(1790) is rather sparse limiting our accuracy and further data on these resonances is strongly advocated. (C) 2021 The Author(s).
