We report a measurement of the $B^0$ and $B^+$ meson decays to the $D_s^-K^0_S pi^+$ and $D_s^- K^+K^+$ final states, respectively, using $657 times 10^{6} Boverline{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. Using the $D_s^-to phipi^-$, $K^{*}(892)^0 K^-$ and $K^0_S K^-$ decay modes for the $D_s$ reconstruction, we measure the following branching fractions: ${cal B}(B^0to D_s^{-}K^0_Spi^+)=[0.47 pm 0.06 (mathrm {stat}) pm 0.05 (mathrm {syst})]times 10^{-4}$ and ${cal B}(B^+to D_s^-K^+K^+)= [0.93 pm 0.22 (mathrm {stat})pm 0.10 (mathrm {syst})]times 10^{-5}$. We find the ratio of the branching fraction of $B^+to D_s^-K^+K^+$ to that of the analogous Cabibbo favored $B^+to D_s^-K^+pi^+$ decay to be ${cal R}_{cal B} = 0.054 pm 0.013 ({rm stat}) pm 0.006 ({rm syst})$, which is consistent with the na{i}ve factorization model. We also observe a deviation from the three-body phase-space model for both studied decays.
A search for $B^{+} to D_s^{+}K^{+}K^{-}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb$^{-1}$, collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13$,$TeV with the LHCb experiment. A significant signal is observed for the first time and the branching fraction is determined to be begin{equation*} mathcal{B}(B^{+} to D_s^{+}K^{+}K^{-} ) = (7.1 pm 0.5 pm 0.6 pm 0.7) times 10^{-6}, end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the normalisation mode $B^{+} to D_s^{+} overline{kern -0.2em D}^{0}$. A search is also performed for the pure annihilation decay $B^{+} to D_s^{+}phi$. No significant signal is observed and a limit of begin{equation*} mathcal{B}(B^{+} to D_s^{+}phi) < 4.9 times 10^{-7}~(4.2 times 10^{-7}) end{equation*} is set on the branching fraction at 95$%$ (90$%$) confidence level.
The first observation of the $B^0_s to D_s^{*mp} K^{pm}$ decay is reported using 3.0$fb^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment. The $D_s^{*mp}$ mesons are reconstructed through the decay chain $D_s^{*mp} to gamma D_s^{mp}(K^{mp}K^{pm}pi^{mp})$. The branching fraction relative to that for $B^0_s to D_s^{*-} pi^{+}$ is measured to be $0.068 pm 0.005 ^{+0.003}_{-0.002}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Using a recent measurement of $BR(B^0_s to D_s^{*-} pi^{+})$ the absolute branching fraction of $B^0_s to D_s^{*mp} K^{pm}$ is measured as ( 16.3 $pm$ 1.2 (stat) $^{+0.7}_{-0.5}$ (syst) $pm$ 4.8 (norm) ) $times$ 10$^{-5}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the normalisation channel.
We report measurements of the branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetries for $D_s^{+} rightarrow K^{+} eta $, $D_s^{+} rightarrow K^{+} pi^0 $, and $D_s^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} eta $ decays, and the branching fraction for $D_s^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} pi^0$. Our results are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 921 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. Our measurements of $CP$ asymmetries in these decays are the most precise to-date; no evidence for $CP$ violation is found.
The first observation of the decay $bar{B}^0_s to D^0 K^{*0}$ using $pp$ data collected by the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb$^{-1}$, is reported. A signal of $34.4 pm 6.8$ events is obtained and the absence of signal is rejected with a statistical significance of more than nine standard deviations. The $bar{B}^0_s to D^0 K^{*0}$ branching fraction is measured relative to that of $bar{B}^0 to D^0 rho^0$: $frac{{cal B}(bar{B}^0_s to D^0 K^{*0})}{{cal B}(bar{B}^0 to D^0 rho^0)} = 1.48 pm 0.34 pm 0.15 pm 0.12$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainty on the ratio of the $B^0$ and $B^0_s$ hadronisation fractions.
Measurements are presented of the branching fractions of the decays $B_{s}^{0} to D_{s}^{mp} K^{pm}$ and $B^{0} to D_{s}^{-} K^{+}$ relative to the decays $B_{s}^{0} to D_{s}^{-} pi^{+}$ and $B^{0} to D^{-} pi^{+}$, respectively. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions. The ratios of branching fractions are $dfrac{mathcal{B}(B_{s}^{0} to D_{s}^{mp} K^{pm})}{mathcal{B}(B_{s}^{0} to D_{s}^{-} pi^{+})} = 0.0752 pm 0.0015 pm 0.0019$ and $dfrac{mathcal{B}(B^{0} to D_{s}^{-} K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(B^{0} to D^{-} pi^{+})} = 0.0129 pm 0.0005 pm 0.0008,$ where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
