Abstract

We report on measurements of the time-dependent CP violating observables in $B^0_s\rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm}$ decays using a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. We find the CP violating observables $C_f=0.53\pm0.25\pm0.04$, $A^{\Delta\Gamma}_f=0.37\pm0.42\pm0.20$, $A^{\Delta\Gamma}_{\bar{f}}=0.20\pm0.41\pm0.20$, $S_f=-1.09\pm0.33\pm0.08$, $S_{\bar{f}}=-0.36\pm0.34\pm0.08$, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Using these observables together with a recent measurement of the $B^0_s$ mixing phase $-2\beta_s$ leads to the first extraction of the CKM angle $\gamma$ from $B^0_s \rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm}$ decays, finding $\gamma$ = (115$_{-43}^{+28}$)$^\circ$ modulo 180$^\circ$ at 68 CL, where the error contains both statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Measured mistag rate against the average predicted mistag rate for the (left) OS and (right) SSK taggers in $ B ^0_ s \rightarrow D ^-_ s \pi ^+ $ decays. The error bars represent only the statistical uncertainties. The solid curve is the linear fit to the data points, the shaded area defines the 68% confidence level region of the calibration function (statistical only).

Graph showing $ 1-{\rm CL}$ for $\gamma$ , together with the central value and the 68.3% CL interval as obtained from the frequentist method described in the text (top). Profile likelihood contours of $ r_{ D_{\hspace{-0.0625em}s} \hspace{-0.0625em} K }$ vs. $\gamma$ (bottom left), and $\delta$ vs. $\gamma$ (bottom right). The contours are the $1\sigma$ ($2\sigma$) profile likelihood contours, where $\Delta\chi^2=1$ $(\Delta\chi^2=4)$, corresponding to 39% CL (86% CL) in Gaussian approximation. The markers denote the best-fit values.	Fig7a.pdf [8 KiB] HiDef png [204 KiB] Thumbnail [158 KiB] *.C file
