Abstract
The meson production asymmetry in collisions is measured using decays. The data were recorded by the LHCb experiment during Run 1 of the LHC at center-of-mass energies of and 8 TeV. The production asymmetries, integrated over transverse momenta in the range , and rapidities in the range are measured to be , , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These production asymmetries are used to correct the raw asymmetries of decays, thus allowing a measurement of the asymmetry, .
