A measurement is presented of decay-time-dependent $CP$ violation in the decays $B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}$ and $B^0rightarrowpsi(2S) K^0_mathrm{S}$, where the $J/psi$ is reconstructed from two electrons and the $psi(2S)$ from two muons. The analysis uses a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The $CP$-violation observables are measured to be begin{equation*} begin{aligned} Cleft(B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+},0.12,pm,0.07pm,0.02,, Sleft(B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+},0.83,pm,0.08pm,0.01,, Cleft(B^0rightarrowpsi(2S) K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=-,0.05,pm,0.10pm,0.01,, Sleft(B^0rightarrowpsi(2S) K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+},0.84,pm,0.10pm,0.01,, end{aligned} end{equation*} where $C$ describes $CP$ violation in the direct decay, and $S$ describes $CP$ violation in the interference between the amplitudes for the direct decay and for the decay after $B^0$-$overline{B}^0$ oscillation. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The two sets of results are compatible with the previous LHCb measurement using $B^0rightarrow J/psi K^0_mathrm{S}$ decays, where the $J/psi$ meson was reconstructed from two muons. The averages of all three sets of LHCb results are begin{equation*} begin{aligned} Cleft(B^0rightarrow[cbar{c}]K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=-0.017 pm 0.029,, Sleft(B^0rightarrow[cbar{c}]K^0_mathrm{S}right)&=phantom{+}0.760 pm 0.034,, end{aligned} end{equation*} under the assumption that higher-order contributions to the decay amplitudes are negligible. The uncertainties include statistical and systematic contributions.
Measurements are presented of the $CP$ violation observables $S$ and $C$ in the decays of $B^0$ and $overline{B}{}^0$ mesons to the $J/psi K^0_S$ final state. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,text{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8,text{TeV}$. The analysis of the time evolution of $41500$ $B^0$ and $overline{B}{}^0$ decays yields $S = 0.731 pm 0.035 , text{(stat)} pm 0.020 ,text{(syst)}$ and $C = -0.038 pm 0.032 , text{(stat)} pm 0.005,text{(syst)}$. In the Standard Model, $S$ equals $sin(2beta)$ to a good level of precision. The values are consistent with the current world averages and with the Standard Model expectations.
The decay-time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^{0}_{s}to J/psi K^{+} K^{-}$ decays is measured using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.9,mathrm{fb^{-1}}$, collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $13,mathrm{TeV}$ in 2015 and 2016. Using a sample of approximately 117,000 signal decays with an invariant $K^{+} K^{-}$ mass in the vicinity of the $phi(1020)$ resonance, the $CP$-violating phase $phi_s$ is measured, along with the difference in decay widths of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the $B^{0}_{s}$-$bar{B}^{0}_{s}$ system, $DeltaGamma_s$. The difference of the average $B^{0}_{s}$ and $B^{0}$ meson decay widths, $Gamma_s-Gamma_d$, is determined using in addition a sample of $B^{0} to J/psi K^{+} pi^{-}$ decays. The values obtained are $phi_s = -0.083pm0.041pm0.006,mathrm{rad}$, $DeltaGamma_s = 0.077 pm 0.008 pm 0.003, mathrm{ps^{-1}}$ and $Gamma_s-Gamma_d = -0.0041 pm 0.0024 pm 0.0015,mathrm{ps^{-1}}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise single measurements of these quantities to date and are consistent with expectations based on the Standard Model and with a previous LHCb analysis of this decay using data recorded at centre-of-mass energies 7 and 8 TeV. Finally, the results are combined with recent results from $B^{0}_{s}to J/psi pi^{+} pi^{-}$ decays obtained using the same dataset as this analysis, and with previous independent LHCb results.
We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay $B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)$, evidence and a branching fraction measurement for $B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)$, and the determination of the total $B^0_sto J/psi,K^+K^-$ branching fraction, including the resonant and non-resonant contributions to the $K^+K^-$ channel. We also determine the $S$-wave contribution within the $phi(1020)$ mass region. The absolute branching fractions are $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)]=(1.25 pm 0.07left(mathrm{stat}right)pm 0.08left(mathrm{syst}right)pm 0.22left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$, $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)]=(0.26pm 0.06left(mathrm{stat}right)pm 0.02left(mathrm{syst}right) pm 0.05left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$ and $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,K^+K^-] = (1.01pm 0.09left(mathrm{stat}right) pm 0.10left(mathrm{syst}right)pm 0.18left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$, where the last systematic error is due to the branching fraction of $bbar{b}to B^{(*)}_s B^{(*)}_s$. The branching fraction ratio is found to be $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)]/mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)]=(21.5pm 4.9left(mathrm{stat}right) pm2.6left(mathrm{syst}right))%$. All results are based on a 121.4 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at the $Upsilon(5S)$ resonance by the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider.
Time-dependent $CP$ asymmetries in the decay rates of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^0rightarrow K^-K^+$ and $D^0rightarrow pi^-pi^+$ are measured in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial state as $D^0$ or $bar{D}^0$. The asymmetries in effective lifetimes between $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$ decays, which are sensitive to indirect $CP$ violation, are determined to be begin{align*} A_{Gamma}(K^-K^+) = (-0.134 pm 0.077 ; {}^{+0.026}_{-0.034})% , A_{Gamma}(pi^-pi^+) = (-0.092pm 0.145 ; {}^{+0.025}_{-0.033})% , end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. This result is in agreement with previous measurements and with the hypothesis of no indirect $CP$ violation in $D^0$ decays.
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.
