Here, we report final measurements of direct CP-violating asymmetries in charmless decays of neutral bottom hadrons to pairs of charged hadrons with the upgraded Collider Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using the complete √s = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions data set, corresponding to 9.3 fb–1 of integrated luminosity, we measure A(Λ0b → pπ) = +0.06 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.03(syst) and A(Λ0b → pK) = –0.10 ± 0.08(stat) ± 0.04(syst), compatible with no asymmetry. In addition we measure the CP-violating asymmetries in B0s → Kπ+ and B0 → K+π decays to be A(B0s → Kπ+) = +0.22 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.02(syst) and A(B0 → K+π)=–0.083 ± 0.013(stat) ± 0.004(syst), respectively, which are significantly different from zero and consistent with current world averages.
