Abstract:

A search for the decays Bs0→μ+μ- and B 0→μ +μ - is performed with 0.37 fb -1 of pp collisions at s=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011. The upper limits on the branching fractions are B(Bs0→μ+μ-)<1.6×10-8 and B(B0→μ+μ-)<3.6×10-9 at 95% confidence level. A combination of these results with the LHCb limits obtained with the 2010 dataset leads to B(Bs0→μ+μ-)<1.4×10-8 and B(B0→μ+μ-)<3.2×10-9 at 95% confidence level. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

Measurement of mixing-induced CP violation in B-s0 decays is of prime importance in probing new physics. So far only the channel B- s 0→J/ψφ has been used. Here we report on a measurement using an LHCb data sample of 0.41 fb -1, in the CP odd eigenstate J/ψf 0(980), where f 0(980)→π +π -. A time-dependent fit of the data with the B-s0 lifetime and the difference in widths of the heavy and light eigenstates constrained to the values obtained from B-s0→J/ψφ yields a value of the CP violating phase of -0.44±0.44±0.02 rad, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

A measurement of the effective Bs0→K+K- lifetime is presented using approximately 37pb -1 of data collected by LHCb during 2010. This quantity can be used to put constraints on contributions from processes beyond the Standard Model in the Bs0 meson system and is determined by two complementary approaches asτKK=1.440±0.096(stat)±0.008(syst)±0.003(model)ps. © 2011 CERN.
