Extraction of γ at LHCb with a combined Bs →d s±K∓ and Bd → D±π∓ analysis

3rd Workshop on the Unitarity Triangle, CKM 2005 (2005)

Abstract:

A combined analysis of the CP violating observables in the channels B →Ds±K∓ and B d→ D± π∓ allows the CKM angle γ to be determined in a manner which has certain advantages over the analysis of each channel separately. In particular, the combined analysis reduces greatly the number of ambiguous solutions which would otherwise be present. The potential of the method is illustrated using the expected performance of the LHCb experiment.

Abstract:

We report a search for the decays B0→Ds-Ds+, B0→Ds*-Ds+, and B0→Ds*-Ds*+ in a sample of 232×106 Υ(4S) decays to BB̄ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- storage ring. We find no significant signal and set upper bounds for the branching fractions: B(B0→Ds-Ds+)<1.0×10-4, B(B0→Ds*-Ds+)<1.3×10-4, and B(B0→Ds*-Ds*+) <2.4×10-4 at 90% confidence level. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We present evidence for the bâ†d penguin-dominated decays B+â†KÂ0K+ and B0â†K0KÂ0 in 227Ã-106 Î¥(4S)â†'BBÂdecays collected with the BABAR detector. We measure the branching fractions B(B+â†'KÂ0K+)= (1.5±0.5±0.1)Ã-10-6(<2.4Ã-10-6) and B(B0â†'K0KÂ0)=(1.19-0.35+0.40±0.13) Ã-10-6, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. We also present improved measurements of the charge-averaged branching fraction B(B+â†'K0Ï€+)=(26.0±1. 3±1.0)Ã-10-6 and CP-violating charge asymmetry ACP(K0Ï€+)=-0.09±0.05±0.01, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
