First study of the CP-violating phase and decay-width difference in Bs0 → ψ(2S)ϕ decays

Physics Letters B Elsevier 762 (2016) 253-262

Shu-Faye Cheung, Tim Evans, Paolo Gandini, Barak R Gruberg Cazon, Thomas Hadavizadeh, Neville Harnew, Donal Hill, Pawel G Jalocha, Malcolm JJ John, Oliver J Lupton, Sneha S Malde, Anita K Nandi, Stig Topp-Joergenson, Guy R Wilkinson

Abstract:

A time-dependent angular analysis of Bs0 → ψ(2S)ϕ decays is performed using data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb^−1 collected during Run 1 of the LHC. The CP-violating phase and decay-width difference of the Bs0 system are measured to be ϕs = 0.23−0.28+0.29 ± 0.02rad and ΔΓs = 0.066−0.044+0.041 ± 0.007ps^−1, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that ϕs and ΔΓs have been measured in a decay containing the ψ(2S) resonance.

Measurement of the forward Z boson production cross-section in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV

Journal of High Energy Physics Springer 2016:9 (2016) 136

Abstract:

A measurement of the production cross-section of Z bosons in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV is presented using dimuon and dielectron final states in LHCb data. The cross-section is measured for leptons with pseudorapidities in the range 2.0 < η < 4.5, transverse momenta pT > 20 GeV and dilepton invariant mass in the range 60 < m(ℓℓ) < 120 GeV. The integrated cross-section from averaging the two final states is σZℓℓ = 194.3 ± 0.9 ± 3.3 ± 7.6 pb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is due to systematic effects, and the third is due to the luminosity determination. In addition, differential cross-sections are measured as functions of the Z boson rapidity, transverse momentum and the angular variable ϕη*.

Evidence for exotic Hadron contributions to Λ_{b}^{0}→J/ψpπ^{-} decays

Abstract:

A full amplitude analysis of Λ_{b}^{0}→J/ψpπ^{-} decays is performed with a data sample acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb^{-1}. A significantly better description of the data is achieved when, in addition to the previously observed nucleon excitations N→pπ^{-}, either the P_{c}(4380)^{+} and P_{c}(4450)^{+}→J/ψp states, previously observed in Λ_{b}^{0}→J/ψpK^{-} decays, or the Z_{c}(4200)^{-}→J/ψπ^{-} state, previously reported in B^{0}→J/ψK^{+}π^{-} decays, or all three, are included in the amplitude models. The data support a model containing all three exotic states, with a significance of more than three standard deviations. Within uncertainties, the data are consistent with the P_{c}(4380)^{+} and P_{c}(4450)^{+} production rates expected from their previous observation taking account of Cabibbo suppression.

Measurement of the CP asymmetry in B0s - B-0s mixing.

Physical Review Letters American Physics Society 117:6 (2016) 061803

Shu-Faye Cheung, Tim Evans, Paolo Gandini, Barak R Gruberg Cadzon, Thomas Hadavizadeh, Neville Harnew, Donal Hill, Pawel G Jalocha, Malcolm John, Oliver J Lupton, Sneha S Malde, Anita K Nandi, Stig Topp-Jorgenson, Guy R Wilkinson

Abstract:

The CP asymmetry in the mixing of B0s and B¯0s mesons is measured in proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. Semileptonic B0s and B¯0s decays are studied in the inclusive mode D∓s μ± ν-μX with the D∓s mesons reconstructed in the K+K−π∓ final state. Correcting the observed charge asymmetry for detection and background effects, the CP asymmetry is found to be assl=(0.39 ± 0.26 ± 0.20)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the most precise measurement of assl to date. It is consistent with the prediction from the standard model and will constrain new models of particle physics.
