| Measurement of the CP-violating weak phase $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ and the decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_\mathrm{s}$ using the ${\mathrm{B^0_s} \to \mathrm{ J } / \psi \phi(1020)}$ decay channel in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV | ||

| Abstract: The CP-violating weak phase $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ of the $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} $ meson and the decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_\mathrm{s}$ of the $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} $ light and heavy mass eigenstates are measured with the CMS detector at the LHC using a data sample of ${\mathrm{B^0_s} \to \mathrm{ J } / \psi \phi(1020)} \to \mu^+\mu^-\mathrm{ K }^+\mathrm{ K }^-$ decays. The analysed data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. A total of 49 200 reconstructed $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} $ decays are used to extract the values of $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ and $\Delta\Gamma_\mathrm{s}$ by performing a time-dependent and flavour-tagged angular analysis of the $\mu^+ \mu^- \mathrm{ K }^+\mathrm{ K }^-$ final state. The weak phase is measured to be $\phi_\mathrm{s} = -0.075 \pm 0.097 \mathrm{(stat)} \pm 0.031\mathrm{(syst)} $ rad, and the decay width difference is $\Delta\Gamma_\mathrm{s} = 0.095 \pm 0.013 \mathrm{(stat)} \pm 0.007 \mathrm{(syst)} $ ps$^{-1}$. | ||

| Summary |
|
Using pp collision data collected by the CMS experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$, 49 200 $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} \mathrm{ J } / \psi \phi $ signal candidates were used to measure the weak phase $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ and the decay width difference ${\Delta \Gamma_\mathrm{s}} $. The analysis was performed by using opposite-side lepton tagging of the $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} $ flavour at the production time. Both muon and electron tags were used. The measured values for the weak phase and the decay width difference between the $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} $ mass eigenstates are $\phi_\mathrm{s} = -0.075 \pm 0.097\mathrm{(stat)}\pm 0.031\mathrm{(syst)}$ rad and $\Delta\Gamma_\mathrm{s}= 0.095 \pm 0.013\mathrm{(stat)}\pm 0.007\mathrm{(syst)} $ ps$^{-1}$, respectively. The measured values are consistent with those obtained by the LHCb Collaboration using $ {\mathrm{B}^0_s} \to \mathrm{ J } / \psi\mathrm{ K }^+\mathrm{ K }^-$ decays [34]. Our measured value of $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ agrees with the SM prediction. Our result confirms ${\Delta \Gamma_\mathrm{s}} $ to be nonzero, with a value consistent with theoretical predictions. The uncertainties in our $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ and ${\Delta \Gamma_\mathrm{s}} $ measurements are dominated by statistical uncertainties. Our results provide independent reference measurements of $\phi_\mathrm{s}$ and ${\Delta \Gamma_\mathrm{s}} $, and contribute to improving the overall precision of these quantities and thereby probing the SM further. Since our measurement precision is still limited by statistical uncertainty, substantial improvement is expected from LHC $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV high-luminosity running that will be available over the next few years. |
