We search for CP violation in Cabibbo-suppressed charged D meson decays by measuring the difference between the CP-violating asymmetries for the Cabibbo-suppressed decays D^±→K⁺ K⁻ π^± and the Cabibbo-favored decays D_s^± → K⁺K⁻ π^± in the K⁺K⁻ mass region of the Φ resonance. Using 955 fb⁻¹ of data collected with the Belle detector, we obtain A_CP^{D⁺→Φπ⁺} = (+0.51±0.28±0.05)%. The measurement improves the sensitivity of previous searches by more than a factor of 5.We find no evidence for direct CP violation.
