Since the standard model contribution is virtually absent, any observation of direct CP violation in the Cabibbo-favored charmed meson decays would be evidence of new physics. In this paper, we conduct a quantitative study on direct CP violation in D 0 → K − π + , D + s → ηπ + and D + s → η π + decays in the SU(2) L ×SU(2) R ×U(1) B−L gauge extension of the standard model. In the model, direct CP violation arises mainly from the interference between the decay amplitude coming from the SM left-left current operators and that from the right-right current operators induced by W + R gauge boson exchange. Interestingly, the strong phase between the two amplitudes is evaluable, since it stems from difference in QCD corrections to the left-left and right-right current operators, which is a short-distance QCD effect given by ∼ (α s (M 2 W L )/4π) log(M 2 W R /M 2 W L ). We assess the maximal direct CP violation in the above decays in the SU(2) L ×SU(2) R ×U(1) B−L model. Additionally, we present a correlation between direct CP violation in these modes and one in K → ππ decay parametrized by , since W + R gauge boson has a sizable impact on the latter.
