Implications of the LHCb discovery of CP violation in charm decays

The recent measurement of $\mathrm{\Delta }{A}_{CP}$ by the LHCb collaboration requires an $\mathcal{O}(10)$ enhancement coming from hadronic physics in order to be explained within the SM. We examine to what extent can NP models explain $\mathrm{\Delta }{A}_{CP}$ without such enhancements. We discuss the implications in terms of a low energy effective theory as well as in the context of several explicit NP models.
