We have studied Bs0 -> Ds- pi+ and Bs0 -> Ds^(-/+) K^(+/-) decays using 23.6 /fb of data collected at the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. This highly pure Bs0 -> Ds- pi+ sample is used to measure the branching fraction, BR(Bs0 -> Ds- pi+)=[3.67 +0.35,-0.33}(stat.) +0.43,-0.42(syst.) +-0.49(f_s)] x 10^{-3} (f_s=N(Bs(*) Bs(*)bar)/N(bbar b)) and the fractions of Bs0 event types at the Upsilon(5S) energy, {in particular N(Bs* Bs*bar}/N(N(Bs(*) Bs(*)bar)=(90.1 +3.8,-4.0 +-0.2)%. We also determine the masses M(Bs0)=(5364.4 +-1.3 +-0.7) MeV/c^2 and M(Bs*)=(5416.4 +-0.4 +-0.5) MeV/c^2. In addition, we observe Bs0 -> Ds^(-/+) K^(+/-) decays with a significance of 3.5sigma and measure BR(Bs0 -> Ds^(-/+) K^(+/-))=[2.4 +1.2,-1.0(stat.) +-0.3(syst.) +-0.3(f_s)] x 10^{-4}.
We present a measurement of the ratio of the Bs meson lifetime, in the flavor-specific decay to $D_s^+pi^-$, to that of the B0 meson. The pp collision data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1/fb, collected with the LHCb detector, at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Combining our measured value of 1.010 +/- 0.010 +/- 0.008 for this ratio with the known lifetime, we determine the flavor-specific Bs lifetime to be tau(Bs) = 1.535 +/- 0.015 +/- 0.014 ps, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This is the most precise measurement to date, and is consistent with previous measurements and theoretical predictions.
We report the measurements of the $CP$-violating parameters in $B_s^0 to D_s^{mp} K^{pm}$ decays observed in $pp$ collisions, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb detector. We measure $C_f = 0.73 pm 0.14 pm 0.05$, $A^{Delta Gamma}_f = 0.39 pm 0.28 pm 0.15$, $A^{Delta Gamma}_{overline{f}} = 0.31 pm 0.28 pm 0.15$, $S_f = -0.52 pm 0.20 pm 0.07$, $S_{overline{f}} = -0.49 pm 0.20 pm 0.07$, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These parameters are used together with the world-average value of the $B_s^0$ mixing phase, $-2beta_s$, to obtain a measurement of the CKM angle $gamma$ from $B_s^0 to D_s^{mp} K^{pm}$ decays, yielding $gamma = (128,_{-22}^{+17})^circ$ modulo $180^circ$, where the uncertainty contains both statistical and systematic contributions. This corresponds to $3.8,sigma$ evidence for $CP$ violation in the interference between decay and decay after mixing.
We report measurements of the observed cross sections for $e^+e^-toomega pi^+pi^-$, $omega K^+K^-$, $omega pbar p$, $K^+K^-rho^0pi^0$, $K^+K^-rho^+pi^-+c.c.$, $K^{*0}K^-pi^+pi^0+c.c.$, $K^{*+}K^-pi^+pi^-+c.c.$, $phipi^+pi^-pi^0$ and $Lambda bar Lambda pi^0$ at $sqrt s=$ 3.773 and 3.650 GeV. Upper limits (90% C.L.) are given for observed cross sections and for $psi(3770)$ decay branching fractions for production of these final states. These measurements are made by analyzing the data sets of 17.3 pb$^{-1}$ collected at $sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV and 6.5 pb$^{-1}$ collected at $sqrt{s}=3.650$ GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider.
Studies of $e^+e^- to D_s^+ overline{D}{}^{(*)0}K^-$ and the $P$-wave charmed-strange mesons are performed based on an $e^+e^-$ collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 567 pb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at $sqrt{s}= 4.600$ GeV. The processes of $e^+e^-to D_s^+ overline{D}{*}^{0} K^-$ and $D_s^+ overline{D}{}^{0} K^-$ are observed for the first time and are found to be dominated by the modes $D_s^+ D_{s1}(2536)^-$ and $D_s^+ D^*_{s2}(2573)^-$, respectively. The Born cross sections are measured to be $sigma^{B}(e^+e^-to D_s^+ overline{D}{*}^{0} K^-) = (10.1pm2.3pm0.8) pb$ and $sigma^{B}(e^+e^-to D_s^+ overline{D}{}^{0} K^-) = (19.4pm2.3pm1.6) pb$, and the products of Born cross section and the decay branching fraction are measured to be $sigma^{B}(e^+e^-to D_s^+D_{s1}(2536)^- + c.c.)cdotmathcal{B}(D_{s1}(2536)^- to overline{D}{*}^{0} K^-) = (7.5 pm 1.8 pm 0.7) pb$ and $sigma^{B}(e^+e^-to D_s^+ D^*_{s2}(2573)^- + c.c.)cdotmathcal{B}(D^*_{s2}(2573)^- to overline{D}{}^{0} K^-) = (19.7 pm 2.9 pm 2.0) pb$. For the $D_{s1}(2536)^-$ and $D^*_{s2}(2573)^-$ mesons, the masses and widths are measured to be $M(D_{s1}(2536)^-) = (2537.7 pm 0.5 pm 3.1)~MeV/c^2,$ $ Gamma(D_{s1}(2536)^-)) = (1.7pm 1.2 pm 0.6)~rm MeV,$ and $M(D^*_{s2}(2573)^-) = (2570.7pm 2.0 pm 1.7)~MeV/c^2,$ $Gamma(D^*_{s2}(2573)^-) = (17.2 pm 3.6 pm 1.1)~rm MeV.$ The spin-parity of the $D^*_{s2}(2573)^-$ meson is determined to be $J^P=2^{+}$. In addition, the process $e^+e^-to D_s^+ overline{D}{}^{(*)0} K^-$ are searched for using the data samples taken at four (two) center-of-mass energies between 4.416 (4.527) and 4.575 GeV, and upper limits at the $90%$ confidence level on the cross sections are determined.
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.
