We report on new measurements of Cabibbo-suppressed semileptonic $D_s^+$ decays using $3.19~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data sample collected at a center-of-mass energy of 4.178~GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. Our results include branching fractions $mathcal B({D^+_srightarrow K^0 e^+ u_{e}})=(3.25pm0.38({rm stat.})pm0.16({rm syst.}))times10^{-3}$ and $mathcal B({D^+_srightarrow K^{*0} e^+ u_{e}})=(2.37pm0.26({rm stat.})pm0.20({rm syst.}))times10^{-3}$ which are much improved relative to previous measurements, and the first measurements of the hadronic form-factor parameters for these decays. For $D^+_srightarrow K^0 e^+ u_{e}$, we obtain $f_+(0)=0.720pm0.084({rm stat.})pm0.013({rm syst.})$, and for $D^+_srightarrow K^{*0} e^+ u_{e}$, we find form-factor ratios $r_V=V(0)/A_1(0)=1.67pm0.34({rm stat.})pm0.16({rm syst.})$ and $r_2=A_2(0)/A_1(0)=0.77pm0.28({rm stat.})pm0.07({rm syst.})$.
Using 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, we measure the absolute branching fractions of the decays $D^0to K^-e^+ u_e$ and $D^+to bar K^0 e^+ u_e$ to be $(3.567pm0.031_{rm stat}pm 0.025_{rm syst})%$ and $(8.68pm0.14_{rm stat}pm 0.16_{rm syst})%$, respectively. Starting with the process $e^+e^-to Dbar{D}$, a new reconstruction method is employed to select events that contain candidates for both $Dto bar Ke^+ u_e$ and $bar Dto Ke^-bar u_e$ decays. The branching fractions reported in this work are consistent within uncertainties with previous BESIII measurements that selected events containing $Dto bar Ke^+ u_e$ and hadronic $bar D$ decays. Combining our results with the lifetimes of the $D^0$ and $D^+$ mesons and the previous BESIII measurements leads to a ratio of the two decay partial widths of $frac{bar Gamma_{D^0to K^{-}e^+ u_{e}}}{bar Gamma_{D^{+}to bar K^{0}e^+ u_{e}}}=1.039pm0.021$. This ratio supports isospin symmetry in the $D^0to K^-e^+ u_e$ and $D^+to bar K^0 e^+ u_e$ decays within $1.9sigma$.
Time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries in $D^0$ decays to the final states $K^- K^+$ and $pi^- pi^+$ are measured using proton-proton collisions corresponding to $3mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies of $7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ and $8mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial flavour of the charm meson. The difference in $CP$ asymmetries between the two final states is measured to be begin{align} Delta A_{CP} = A_{CP}(K^-K^+)-A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+) = (+0.14 pm 0.16mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.08mathrm{,(syst)})% . onumber end{align} A measurement of $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is obtained assuming negligible $CP$ violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured $D$ decays. It is found to be begin{align} A_{CP}(K^-K^+) = (-0.06 pm 0.15mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.10mathrm{,(syst)}) % , onumber end{align} where the correlation coefficient between $Delta A_{CP}$ and $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is $rho=0.28$. By combining these results, the $CP$ asymmetry in the $D^0rightarrowpi^-pi^+$ channel is $A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+)=(-0.20pm0.19mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.10mathrm{,(syst)})%$.
Measurements of the effective lifetimes in the $B_{s}^{0} rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$, $B^{0} rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}$ and $B_{s}^{0} rightarrow pi^{+}K^{-}$ decays are presented using $1.0~mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The analysis uses a data-driven approach to correct for the decay time acceptance. The measured effective lifetimes are $tau_{B_{s}^{0} rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}}$ = $1.407~pm~0.016~pm~0.007~mathrm{ps}$, $tau_{B^{0} rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}}$ = $1.524~pm~0.011~pm~0.004~mathrm{ps}$, $tau_{B_{s}^{0} rightarrow pi^{+}K^{-}}$ = $1.60~pm~0.06~pm~0.01~mathrm{ps}$. This is the most precise determination to date of the effective lifetime in the $B_{s}^{0} rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ decay and provides constraints on contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model to the $B_{s}^{0}$ mixing phase and the width difference $DeltaGamma_{s}$.
Using 6.32 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV,~an amplitude analysis of the $D^{+}_{s}rightarrow K^{0}_{S}K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}$ decays is performed for the first time to determine the intermediate-resonant contributions. The dominant component is the $D_s^+ to K^*(892)^+overline{K}^*(892)^0$ decay with a fraction of $(40.6pm2.9_{rm stat}pm4.9_{rm sys})$%. Our results of the amplitude analysis are used to obtain a more precise measurement of the branching fraction of the $D^{+}_{s}rightarrow K^{0}_{S}K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}$ decay, which is determined to be $(1.46pm0.05_{rm stat}pm0.05_{rm sys}$)%.
A search for CP violation in $D^0 rightarrow K^{-} K^{+} $ and $D^0 rightarrow pi^{-} pi^{+} $ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~fb^{-1}$, collected using the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and $8~$TeV. The flavour of the charm meson is inferred from the charge of the pion in $D^{*+}rightarrow D^0pi^+$ and $D^{*-}rightarrow bar{D^0}pi^{-}$ decays. The difference between the CP asymmetries in $D^0 rightarrow K^{-} K^{+} $ and $D^0 rightarrow pi^{-} pi^{+} $ decays, $Delta A_{CP} equiv A_{CP}(K^{-} K^{+}) - A_{CP}(pi^{-} pi^{+})$, is measured to be $left( -0.10 pm 0.08(stat) pm 0.03(syst) right) %$. This is the most precise measurement of a time-integrated CP asymmetry in the charm sector from a single experiment.
