Measurement of the Λ b 0 → J/ψ Λ angular distribution and the Λ b 0 polarisation in pp collisions
Journal of High Energy Physics Springer 2020:6 (2020) 110
Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of the Λb0→ J/ψΛ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of Λb0 baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The measurements are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1, collected with the LHCb experiment. The polarisation is determined in a fiducial region of Λb0 transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of 1 < pT< 20 GeV/c and 2 < η < 5, respectively. The data are consistent with Λb0 baryons being produced unpolarised in this region. The parity-violating asymmetry parameter of the Λ → pπ− decay is also determined from the data and its value is found to be consistent with a recent measurement by the BES III collaboration.Determination of Strong-Phase Parameters in D→KS,L0π+π−

Measurement of CP observables in B ± → DK ± and B ± → Dπ ± with D → K S 0 K ± π ∓ decays
Journal of High Energy Physics Springer 2020:6 (2020) 58
Abstract:
Measurements of CP observables in B± → DK± and B± → Dπ± decays are presented, where D represents a superposition of D0 and D¯0 states. The D meson is reconstructed in the three-body final states KS0K±π∓ and KS0K∓π±. The analysis uses samples of B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0, and 6.0 fb−1 collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of s = 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively. These measurements are the most precise to date, and provide important input for the determination of the CKM angle γ.Measurement of the Born cross sections for e+e-→Ds+Ds1(2460)-+c.c. and e+e-→Ds*+Ds1(2460)-+c.c.
