The resonant structure of the reaction $overline{B}^0rightarrow J/psi pi^+pi^-$ is studied using data from 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb experiment, one-third at 7 Tev center-of-mass energy and the remainder at 8 Tev. The invariant mass of the $pi^+pi^-$ pair and three decay angular distributions are used to determine the fractions of the resonant and non-resonant components. Six interfering $pi^+pi^-$ states: $rho(770)$, $f_0(500)$, $f_2(1270)$, $rho(1450)$, $omega(782)$ and $rho(1700)$ are required to give a good description of invariant mass spectra and decay angular distributions. The positive and negative CP fractions of each of the resonant final states are determined. The $f_0(980)$ meson is not seen and the upper limit on its presence, compared with the observed $f_0(500)$ rate, is inconsistent with a model of tetraquark substructure for these scalar mesons at the eight standard deviation level. In the $qoverline{q}$ model, the absolute value of the mixing angle between the $f_0(980)$ and the $f_0(500)$ scalar mesons is limited to be less than $17^{circ}$ at 90% confidence level.

The resonant structure of the decay $overline{B}_s^0to J/psipi^+pi^-$ is studied using data corresponding to 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity from $pp$ collisions by the LHC and collected by the LHCb detector. Five interfering $pi^+pi^-$ states a re required to describe the decay: $f_0(980),f_0(1500),f_0(1790),f_2(1270)$, and $f_2^{prime}(1525)$. An alternative model including these states and a non-resonant $J/psi pi^+pi^-$ component also provides a good description of the data. Based on the different transversity components measured for the spin-2 intermediate states, the final state is found to be compatible with being entirely $CP$-odd. The $CP$-even part is found to be $<2.3$% at 95% confidence level. The $f_0(500)$ state is not observed, allowing a limit to be set on the absolute value of the mixing angle with the $f_0(980)$ of $<7.7^{circ}$ at 90% confidence level, consistent with a tetraquark interpretation of the $f_0(980)$ substructure.
The mixing-induced CP-violating phase $phi_s$ in ${B}^0_s$ and $overline{B}^0_s$ decays is measured using the $J/psi pi^+pi^-$ final state in data, taken from 3,fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, collected with the LHCb detector in 7 and 8 TeV centr e-of-mass $pp$ collisions at the LHC. A time-dependent flavour-tagged amplitude analysis, allowing for direct CP violation, yields a value for the phase $phi_s=70pm 68pm 8$,mrad. This result is consistent with the Standard Model expectation and previous measurements.
Time-dependent CP violation is measured in the $B^0rightarrow J/psipi^+pi^-$ channel for each $pi^+pi^-$ resonant final state using data collected with an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ in $pp$ collisions using the LHCb detector. The final st ate with the largest rate, $J/psirho^0(770)$, is used to measure the CP-violating angle $2beta^{rm eff}$ to be $(41.7pm 9.6_{-6.3}^{+2.8})^{circ}$. This result can be used to limit the size of penguin amplitude contributions to CP violation measurements in, for example, $B_s^0rightarrow J/psiphi$ decays. Assuming approximate SU(3) flavour symmetry and neglecting higher order diagrams, the shift in the CP-violating phase $phi_s$ is limited to be within the interval [$-1.05^circ$, +$1.18^circ$] at 95% confidence level. Changes to the limit due to SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are also discussed.
Time-dependent $CP$ asymmetries in the decay rates of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^0rightarrow K^-K^+$ and $D^0rightarrow pi^-pi^+$ are measured in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial state as $D^0$ or $bar{D}^0$. The asymmetries in effective lifetimes between $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$ decays, which are sensitive to indirect $CP$ violation, are determined to be begin{align*} A_{Gamma}(K^-K^+) = (-0.134 pm 0.077 ; {}^{+0.026}_{-0.034})% , A_{Gamma}(pi^-pi^+) = (-0.092pm 0.145 ; {}^{+0.025}_{-0.033})% , end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. This result is in agreement with previous measurements and with the hypothesis of no indirect $CP$ violation in $D^0$ decays.
Interpretation of CP violation measurements using charmonium decays, in both the B0 and Bs systems, can be subject to changes due to penguin type diagrams. These effects can be investigated using measurements of the Cabibbo-suppressed B0->J/psi pi+pi - decays. The final state composition of this channel is investigated using a 1.0/fb sample of data produced in 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC and collected by the LHCb experiment. A modified Dalitz plot analysis is performed using both the invariant mass spectra and the decay angular distributions. An improved measurement of the B0->J/psi pi+pi- branching fraction of (3.97 +/-0.09+/- 0.11 +/- 0.16)x10^{-5} is reported where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is due to the uncertainty of the branching fraction of the decay B- -> J/psi K- used as a normalization channel. In the J/psi pi+pi- final state significant production of f0(500) and rho(770) resonances is found, both of which can be used for CP violation studies. In contrast evidence for the f0(980) resonance is not found, thus establishing the first upper limit on the branching fraction product B(B0->J/psi f0(980) x B(f0(980)-> pi+ pi-) < 1.1x10^{-6}, leading to an upper limit on the absolute value of the mixing angle of the f0(980)$ with the f0(500) of <31 degrees, both at 90% confidence level.
