Abstract

We present a measurement of the $CP$-violating weak mixing phase $\phi_s$ using the decay $\bar{B}^{0}_{s}\to D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ in a data sample corresponding to $3.0$ fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. An analysis of the time evolution of the system, which does not constrain $|\lambda|=1$ to allow for the presence of $CP$ violation in decay, yields $\phi_s = 0.02 \pm 0.17$ (stat) $\pm 0.02$ (syst) rad, $|\lambda| = 0.91^{+0.18}_{-0.15}$ (stat) $\pm0.02$ (syst). This result is consistent with the Standard Model expectation.

Decay time acceptances in simulation and data: (a) the $ B ^0 \rightarrow D ^- D ^+_ s $ acceptance in data (green triangles) and simulation (blue squares), (b) the $\overline{ B }{} {}^0_ s \rightarrow D ^+_ s D ^-_ s $ acceptance in simulation (blue squares) and the $ B ^0 \rightarrow D ^- D ^+_ s $ acceptance corrected for $\overline{ B }{} {}^0_ s \rightarrow D ^+_ s D ^-_ s $ (red triangles). The correction is described in detail in the text.	Fig2a.pdf [19 KiB] HiDef png [196 KiB] Thumbnail [142 KiB] *.C file

Distribution of the decay time for $\overline{ B }{} {}^0_ s \rightarrow D ^+_ s D ^-_ s $ signal decays with background subtracted using the sPlot method, along with the fit as described in the text. Discontinuities in the fit line shape are a result of the binned acceptance.	Fig3.pdf [20 KiB] HiDef png [105 KiB] Thumbnail [62 KiB] *.C file
