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%.

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 interfere nce 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.
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.
A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of $B^0_sto J/psiphi$ decays is presented where the $J/psi$ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an $e^+e^-$ pair. The analysis uses a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb experi ment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The $CP$-violating phase and lifetime parameters of the $B^0_s$ system are measured to be $phi_s=0.00pm0.28pm0.07$ rad, $DeltaGamma_s=0.115pm0.045pm0.011$ ps$^{-1}$ and $Gamma_s=0.608pm0.018pm0.012$ ps$^{-1}$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that $CP$-violating parameters are measured in the $B^0_sto J/psiphi$ decay with an $e^+e^-$ pair in the final state. The results are consistent with previous measurements in other channels and with the Standard Model predictions.
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.
Measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase phi_s in Bs decays is of prime importance in probing new physics. Here 7421 +/- 105 signal events from the dominantly CP-odd final state J/psi pi+ pi- are selected in 1/fb of pp collision data coll ected at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. A time-dependent fit to the data yields a value of phi_s=-0.019^{+0.173+0.004}_{-0.174-0.003} rad, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. No evidence of direct CP violation is found.
