Abstract

The branching fraction and direct $C P$ asymmetry of the decay $B^{+}\rightarrow J/\psi \rho^{+}$ are measured using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 3$ fb^{-1}$. The following results are obtained: \begin{align} \mathcal{B}(B^{+}\rightarrow J/\psi \rho^{+}) &= (3.81 ^{+0.25}_{-0.24} \pm 0.35) \times 10^{-5}, \nonumber \\ \mathcal{A}^{C P} (B^{+}\rightarrow J/\psi \rho^{+}) &= -0.045^{+0.056}_{-0.057} \pm 0.008, \nonumber \end{align} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. Both measurements are the most precise to date.

In the legend, "non res" stands for non-resonant background, "part reco" for partially reconstructed background and "mis ID" for background involving a misidentification of a kaon. The mis ID background is small and not visible in these figures.
