AB  - A bstract : A search for charge-parity ( CP ) violation in the Cabibbo-suppressed D ⁺ → ϕπ ⁺ decay is presented, using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb − 1 , collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector during Run 2. An abundant sample of D^+→ K_S^0π^+ D + → K S 0 π + decays is employed to correct for asymmetries arising from the production of the charmed meson and from detection effects associated with the charged pion accompanying the ϕ meson. Asymmetries induced by interference of multiple processes, such as neutral kaon mixing, regeneration of neutral kaons, and interference between the Cabibbo-favoured D^+→ K̅^0π^+ D + → K ¯ 0 π + and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D ⁺ → K ⁰ π ⁺ decay, are subtracted. The direct CP asymmetry in the D ⁺ → ϕπ ⁺ decay is measured to be a_CP(D^+→ ϕ π^+)=(0.1± 4.9(stat)± 2.4(syst))× 10^−4. a CP D + → ϕ π + = 0.1 ± 4.9 stat ± 2.4 syst × 10 − 4 .  For the first time at a hadron collider, the modulus of the ratio and the relative strong phase of the D ⁺ → K ⁰ π ⁺ to D^+→ K̅^0π^+ D + → K ¯ 0 π + decay amplitudes are also investigated. Two-dimensional confidence intervals are reported for these parameters.
