First Measurement of the CP-Violating Phase in B0s→ϕϕ Decays
(American Physical Society, 2013-06-12)
A first flavor-tagged measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in B0s→ϕϕ decays is presented. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises due to CP violation in the ...
First observation of B0 → D∗+ Xμ−ν decays
(Elsevier, 2011)
Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the semileptonic decays Bs -> Ds+ X mu nu and Bs -> D0 K+ X mu nu are detected. Two structures ...
Measurement of the cross-section ratio σ(χc2)/σ(χc1) for prompt χc production at √s=7TeV
(Elsevier, 2012-08-14)
The prompt production of the charmonium $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ mesons has been studied in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV. The ...
Measurement of D0–¯¯¯D0 Mixing Parameters and Search for CP Violation Using D0→K+π− Decays
(American Physical Society, 2013-12-18)
Measurements of charm mixing parameters from the decay-time-dependent ratio of D0→K+π− to D0→K−π+ rates and the charge-conjugate ratio are reported. The analysis uses data, corresponding to 3 fb−1 of ...
Measurement of the B0s→J/ψ¯¯¯¯K*0 branching fraction and angular amplitudes
(American Physical Society, 2012-10-08)
A sample of 114±11 B0s→J/ψK−π+ signal events obtained with 0.37 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment is used to measure the branching fraction and polarization amplitudes ...
Analysis of the resonant components in ¯B0s → J/ψ π+ π−
(American Physical Society, 2012-09-17)
The decay ¯¯¯B0s→J/ψπ+π− can be exploited to study CP violation. A detailed understanding of its structure is imperative in order to optimize its usefulness. An analysis of this three-body final state ...
Determination of the X(3872) Meson Quantum Numbers
(American Physical Society, 2013-05-29)
The quantum numbers of the X(3872) meson are determined to be JPC=1++ based on angular correlations in B+→X(3872)K+ decays, where X(3872)→π+π−J/ψ and J/ψ→μ+μ−. The data correspond to 1.0 fb−1 of pp ...
Determination of the Sign of the Decay Width Difference in the B0s System
(American Physical Society, 2012-06-11)
The interference between the K+K− S-wave and P-wave amplitudes in B0s→J/ψK+K− decays with the K+K− pairs in the region around the ϕ(1020) resonance is used to determine the variation of the difference ...
Search for the X(4140) state in B+ → J/ψϕK+ decays
(American Physical Society, 2012-05-04)
A search for the X(4140) state in B+→J/ψϕK+ decays is performed with 0.37 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. No evidence for this state is found, in 2.4σ disagreement ...
Search for Lepton Number Violating Decays B+→π−μ+μ+ and B+→K−μ+μ+
(American Physical Society, 2012-03-07)
A search is performed for the lepton number violating decay B+→h−μ+μ+, where h− represents a K− or a π−, using an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1 of data collected with the LHCb detector. The decay ...
