The first measurement of ${C!P}$ asymmetries in the decay ${B_s^0to J/psi overline{K}^{*}(892)^{0}}$ 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 $8,mathrm{TeV}$. Together with constraints from ${B^0to J/psi rho^0}$, the results are used to constrain additional contributions due to penguin diagrams in the ${C!P}$-violating phase ${{phi}_{s}}$, measured through ${B_s^0}$ decays to charmonium.

The time-dependent CP asymmetry in B_s^0to J/psi K^+K^- decays is measured using $pp$ collision data at sqrt{s}=7TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1, collected with the LHCb detector. The decay time distribution is characterised by the decay widths Gamma_L and Gamma_H of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B_s^0--bar{B}_s^0 system and by a CP-violating phase phi_s. In a sample of 27,617 B_s^0to J/psi K^+K^- decays, where the dominant contribution comes from B_s^0to J/psiphi decays, these parameters are measured to be phi_s = 0.07 pm 0.09 (stat) pm 0.01 (syst) rad, Gamma_s equiv (Gamma_L+Gamma_H)/2 = 0.663 pm 0.005 (stat) pm 0.006 (syst) ps^-1, DeltaGamma_s equiv Gamma_L -Gamma_H = 0.100 pm 0.016 (stat) pm 0.003 (syst) & ps^-1, corresponding to the single most precise determination of phi_s, DeltaGamma_s and Gamma_s. The result of performing a combined analysis with B_s^{0} to J/psi pi^+pi^- decays gives phi_s = 0.01 pm 0.07 (stat) pm 0.01 (syst) rad, Gamma_s = 0.661 pm 0.004 (stat) pm 0.006 (syst) ps^-1, DeltaGamma_s = 0.106 pm 0.011 (stat) pm 0.007 (syst) & ps^-1. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
The time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B_s^0 to J/psi K^+K^-$ decays is measured using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0$fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$TeV. In a sample of 96 000 $B_s^0 to J/psi K^+K^-$ decays, the $CP$-violating phase $phi_s$ is measured, as well as the decay widths $Gamma_{L}$ and $Gamma_{H}$ of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the $B_s^0-bar{B}_s^0$ system. The values obtained are $phi_s = -0.058 pm 0.049 pm 0.006$ rad, $Gamma_s equiv (Gamma_{L}+Gamma_{H})/2 = 0.6603 pm 0.0027 pm 0.0015$ps$^{-1}$, and$DeltaGamma_s equiv Gamma_{L} - Gamma_{H} = 0.0805 pm 0.0091 pm 0.0032$ps$^{-1}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise single measurements of those quantities to date. A combined analysis with $B_s^{0} to J/psi pi^+pi^-$ decays gives $phi_s = -0.010 pm 0.039 $rad. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions. For the first time the phase $phi_s$ is measured independently for each polarisation state of the $K^+K^- $ system and shows no evidence for polarisation dependence.
An angular analysis of the decay $B_s^0 rightarrow K^{*0}bar{K}{}^{*0}$ is performed using $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0$ ${fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. A combined angular and mass analysis separates six helicity amplitudes and allows the measurement of the longitudinal polarisation fraction $f_L = 0.201 pm 0.057 {(stat.)} pm 0.040{(syst.)}$ for the $B_s^0 rightarrow K^*(892)^0 bar{K}{}^*(892)^0$ decay. A large scalar contribution from the $K^{*}_{0}(1430)$ and $K^{*}_{0}(800)$ resonances is found, allowing the determination of additional $CP$ asymmetries. Triple product and direct $CP$ asymmetries are determined to be compatible with the Standard Model expectations. The branching fraction $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 rightarrow K^*(892)^0 bar{K}{}^*(892)^0)$ is measured to be $(10.8 pm 2.1 { rm (stat.)} pm 1.4 { rm (syst.)} pm 0.6 (f_d/f_s) ) times 10^{-6}$.
The $B_s^0to J/psi K_S^0$ branching fraction is measured in a data sample corresponding to 0.41$fb^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector at the LHC. This channel is sensitive to the penguin contributions affecting the sin2$beta$ measurement from $B^0to J/psi K_S^0$ The time-integrated branching fraction is measured to be $BF(B_s^0to J/psi K_S^0)=(1.83pm0.28)times10^{-5}$. This is the most precise measurement to date.
An analysis of the decay B0 -> J/psi K*(892)0 is presented using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1, collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV with the LHCb detector. The polarisation amplitudes and the corresponding phases are measured to be |A_{parallel}|^2 = 0.227 +- 0.004 (stat.) +- 0.011 (syst.), |A_{perp}|^2 = 0.201 +- 0.004 (stat.) +- 0.008 (syst.), delta_{parallel} [rad] = -2.94 +- 0.02 (stat.) +- 0.03 (syst.), delta_{perp} [rad] = 2.94 +- 0.02 (stat.) +- 0.02 (syst.). Comparing B0 -> J/psi K*(892)0 and bar{B}0 -> J/psi bar{K}*(892)0 decays, no evidence for direct CP violation is found.
