We report a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of B¯0 → D$$^{(*)}_{CP}$$h0 decays, where the light neutral hadron h0 is a π0, η, or ω meson, and the neutral D meson is reconstructed in the CP eigenstates K+K, K$$^{0}_{S}$$π0, or K$$^{0}_{S}$$ω. The measurement is performed combining the final data samples collected at the Υ(4S) resonance by the BABAR and Belle experiments at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. The data samples contain (471 ± 3) × 106 BB¯ pairs recorded by the BABAR detector and (772 ± 11) × 106 BB¯ pairs recorded by the Belle detector. We measure the CP asymmetry parameters –ηfS = +0.66 ± 0.10(stat) ± 0.06(syst) and C = –0.02 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.03(syst). Here, these results correspond to the first observation of CP violation in B¯0 → D$$^{(*)}_{CP}$$h0 decays. The hypothesis of no mixing-induced CP violation is excluded in these decays at the level of 5.4 standard deviations.
