The interference between the K+K- S-wave and P-wave amplitudes in B_s -> J/psi K+K- decays with the K+K- pairs in the region around the phi(1020) resonance is used to determine the variation of the difference of the strong phase between these amplitudes as a function of K+K- invariant mass. Combined with the results from our CP asymmetry measurements in B_s -> J/psi phi decays, we conclude that the B_s mass eigenstate that is almost CP =+1 is lighter and decays faster than the mass eigenstate that is almost CP =-1. This determines the sign of the decay width difference DeltaGamma_s == Gamma_L -Gamma_H to be positive. Our result also resolves the ambiguity in the past measurements of the CP violating phase phi_s to be close to zero rather than pi. These conclusions are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations.

The width difference $Delta Gamma$ among the two mass eigenstates of the $B_s$-$bar B_s$ system is measured with a precision of 7%. The theory prediction has a larger uncertainty which mainly stems from unknown perturbative higher-order QCD correctio ns. I discuss the subset of next-to-next-to-leading order diagrams proportional to $alpha_s^2, N_f$, where $N_f=5$ is the number of quark flavours. The results are published in [1].
A time-dependent angular analysis of $B_s^0topsi(2S)phi$ decays is performed using data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0invfb collected during Run 1 of the LHC. The CP-violating phase and de cay-width difference of the $B_s^0$ system are measured to be $phi_s = 0.23^{+0.29}_{-0.28} pm 0.02$ rad and $DeltaGamma_s = 0.066^{+0.041}_{-0.044} pm 0.007$ ps$^{-1}$, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that $phi_s$ and $DeltaGamma_s$ have been measured in a decay containing the $psi(2S)$ resonance.
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 characterise d 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.

We determine the CKM matrix element |Vcb| using a sample of 3.33 million BBbar events in the CLEO detector at CESR. We determine the yield of reconstructed B --> D*+ l nu decays as a function of w = v_B . v_D*, and from this we obtain the differentia l decay rate dGamma/dw. By extrapolating the differential decay rate to w=1, the kinematic point at which the D* is at rest relative to the B, we extract the product |Vcb| F(1), where F(1) is the form factor at w=1 and is predicted accurately by theory. We find |Vcb| F(1) = 0.0424 +- 0.0018(stat.) +- 0.0019(syst.). We also integrate the differential decay rate over w to obtain B(B --> D*+ l nu) = (5.66 +- 0.29 +- 0.33)%. All results are preliminary.
We consider two-loop QCD corrections to the element $Gamma_{12}^q$ of the decay matrix in $B_q-bar{B}_q$ mixing, $q=d,s$, in the leading power of the Heavy Quark Expansion. The calculated contributions involve one current-current and one penguin oper ator and constitute the next step towards a theory prediction for the width difference $DeltaGamma_s$ matching the precise experimental data. We present compact analytic results for all matching coefficients in an expansion in $m_c/m_b$ up to second order. Our new corrections are comparable in size to the current experimental error and slightly increase $DeltaGamma_s$.
