We report the measurement of the direct CP asymmetry in the radiative B¯→ Xs+dγ decay using a data sample of (772 ± 11) × 106 BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e collider. Here, the CP asymmetry is measured as a function of the photon energy threshold. For E$$^{*}_{γ}$$ ≥ 2.1 GeV, where E$$^{*}_{γ}$$ is the photon energy in the center-of-mass frame, we obtain ACP(B¯ → Xs+dγ) = (2.2 ± 3.9 ± 0.9)%, consistent with the standard model prediction.
