The search is based on asymmetries in T-odd, triple-product correlation observables, where T is the time-reversal operator. The analysis uses a sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb(-1). Events are selected having one electron or muon and at least four jets. The T-odd observables are measured using four-momentum vectors associated with t (t) over bar production and decay. The measured asymmetries exhibit no evidence for CP-violating effects, consistent with the expectation from the standard model.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCP violationHadron-Hadron scattering (experiments)Top physicsArticle2-s2.0-8501631114410.1007/JHEP03(2017)101Q1Q1WOS:000397705400005
