Measurement of CP violation parameters and polarisation fractions in B0s→J/ψK¯¯¯¯∗0 decays

Abstract

The first measurement of CP asymmetries in the decay B0s→J/ψK¯¯¯¯∗(892)0 and an updated measurement of its branching fraction and polarisation fractions are presented. The results are obtained using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions recorded with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. Together with constraints from B 0 → J/ψ ρ 0, the results are used to constrain additional contributions due to penguin diagrams in the CP -violating phase ϕ s , measured through B 0 s decays to charmonium.
