Using 1.0 fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=7 TeV with the LHCb detector, measurements of the polarization amplitudes, strong phase difference and triple product asymmetries in the B_s^0 -> phi phi decay mode are presented. The measured values are |A_0|^2 = 0.365 +- 0.022 (stat) +- 0.012 (syst), |A_perp|^2 = 0.291 +- 0.024 (stat) +- 0.010 (syst), cos(delta_parallel) = -0.844 +- 0.068 (stat) +- 0.029 (syst), A_U = -0.055 +- 0.036 (stat) +- 0.018 (syst), A_V = 0.010 +- 0.036 (stat) +- 0.018 (syst) .
Using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the $B_s^0 to phi phi$ branching fraction is measured to be [ mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to phi phi) = ( 1.84 pm 0.05 (text{stat}) pm 0.07 (text{syst}) pm 0.11 (f_s/f_d) pm 0.12 (text{norm}) ) times 10^{-5}, ] where $f_s/f_d$ represents the ratio of the $B_s^0$ to $B^0$ production cross-sections, and the $B^0 to phi K^*(892)^0$ decay mode is used for normalization. This is the most precise measurement of this branching fraction to date, representing a factor five reduction in the statistical uncertainty compared with the previous best measurement. A search for the decay $B^0 to phi phi$ is also made. No signal is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction is set as [ mathcal{B}(B^0 to phi phi) < 2.8 times 10^{-8} ] at 90% confidence level. This is a factor of seven improvement compared to the previous best limit.
A measurement of the decay time dependent CP-violating asymmetry in $B_s^0 to phiphi$ decays is presented, along with measurements of the $T$-odd triple-product asymmetries. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises from the interference between $B_s^0$-$bar{B}_s^0$ mixing and the loop-induced decay amplitude. Using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0, fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector, a signal yield of approximately 4000 $B_s^0 to phiphi$ decays is obtained. The CP-violating phase is measured to be ${phi_s =-0.17pm0.15mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.03mathrm{,(syst)}}$ rad. The triple-product asymmetries are measured to be ${A_U=-0.003pm0.017mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.006mathrm{,(syst)}}$ and ${A_V=-0.017pm0.017mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.006mathrm{,(syst)}}$. Results are consistent with the hypothesis of CP conservation.
An angular analysis of the decay $B^0 to phi K^*(892)^0$ is reported based on a $pp$ collision data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with the LHCb detector. The P-wave amplitudes and phases are measured with a greater precision than by previous experiments, and confirm about equal amounts of longitudinal and transverse polarization. The S-wave $K^+ pi^-$ and $K^+K^-$ contributions are taken into account and found to be significant. A comparison of the $B^0 to phi K^*(892)^0$ and $bar{B}^0 to phi bar{K}^*(892)^0$ results shows no evidence for direct CP violation in the rate asymmetry, in the triple-product asymmetries or in the polarization amplitudes and phases.
A first flavour-tagged measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in $B_s^0 to phiphi$ decays is presented. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises due to CP violation in the interference between $B_s^0$-$bar{B}_s^0$ mixing and the $b to s bar{s} s $ gluonic penguin decay amplitude. Using a sample of $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0; fb^{-1}$ and collected at a centre-of-mass energy of $7 rm TeV$ with the LHCb detector, $880 B_s^0 to phiphi$ signal decays are obtained. The CP-violating phase is measured to be in the interval [-2.46, -0.76] rm rad$ at 68% confidence level. The p-value of the Standard Model prediction is 16%.
