First measurement of the CP-violating phase in B0s→J/ψ( → e+e−)ϕ decays

A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of B0 s → J/ψφ decays is presented where the J/ψ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an e +e − pair. The analysis uses a sample of pp collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to...

Description
Summary:A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of B0 s → J/ψφ decays is presented where the J/ψ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an e +e − pair. The analysis uses a sample of pp collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1 . The CP-violating phase and lifetime parameters of the B0 s system are measured to be φs = 0.00 ± 0.28 ± 0.05 rad, ∆Γs = 0.115 ± 0.045 ± 0.011 ps−1 and Γs = 0.608 ± 0.018 ± 0.011 ps−1 where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that CP-violating parameters are measured in the B0 s → J/ψφ decay with an e +e − pair in the final state. The results are consistent with previous measurements in other channels and with the Standard Model predictions.
