The time-dependent $CP$ asymmetries of $B^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0_\mathrm{s} \to K^+K^-$ decays are measured using a data sample of $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The results are \begin{eqnarray*} C_{\pi\pi} & = & -0.311 \pm 0.045 \pm 0.015, \\ S_{\pi\pi} & = & -0.706 \pm 0.042 \pm 0.013, \\ C_{KK} & = & \phantom{-}0.164 \pm 0.034 \pm 0.014, \\ S_{KK} & = & \phantom{-}0.123 \pm 0.034 \pm 0.015, \\ \cal {A}^{\mathrm{\Delta\Gamma}}_{\mathit{KK}} & = & -0.83\phantom{0} \pm 0.05\phantom{0} \pm 0.09, \end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The same data sample is used to measure the time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries of $B^0\to K^+\pi^-$ and $B^0_\mathrm{s}\to K^-\pi^+$ decays and the results are \begin{eqnarray*} A_{CP}^{B^0} & = & -0.0824 \pm 0.0033 \pm 0.0033, \\ A_{CP}^{B^0_\mathrm{s}} & = & \phantom{-}0.236\phantom{0} \pm 0.013\phantom{0} \pm 0.011. \end{eqnarray*} All results are consistent with earlier measurements. A combination of LHCb measurements provides the first observation of time-dependent $CP$ violation in $B^0_\mathrm{s}$ decays.

Time-dependent asymmetries for (top) $\pi ^+$ $\pi ^-$ and (bottom) $ K ^+ K ^- $ candidates with $5.20 < m(\pi ^+ \pi ^- ) < 5.35\text{ Ge V /}c^2 $ and $5.30 < m( K ^+ K ^- ) < 5.44\text{ Ge V /}c^2 $, respectively: (left) using the OS-tagging decision and (right) using either the SSc-tagging decision (for the $\pi ^+$ $\pi ^-$ candidates) or the SS $ K $ -tagging decision (for the $ K ^+ K ^- $ candidates). The result of the simultaneous fit is overlaid. The asymmetry for the $ K ^+ K ^- $ candidates is folded into one mixing period $2\pi/\Delta m_{ s } $ and the parameter $t_0 = 0.2\text{ ps} $ corresponds to the minimum value of the decay-time used in the fit. |

Two-dimensional 68% and 95% confidence-level regions for the measured $ C P$ -violating parameters of the $ B ^0 \rightarrow \pi ^+ \pi ^- $ (left) and $ B ^0_ s \rightarrow K ^+ K ^- $ (right) decays from the two methods. The simultaneous method is shown in purple while the per-candidate method in green. Previous measurements of these parameters are also shown, with the LHCb Run 1 result in blue, the Belle result in yellow and the BaBar result in red. The confidence-level regions are calculated using only the statistical uncertainties of all the measurements. The correlation is found to be approximately 84% for all $ C P$ -violating parameters between the simultaneous and per-event methods. |

Values of the parameters $\Delta m_{ d }$ , $\Delta m_{ s }$ , $\Gamma_{ d }$ [25], $\Gamma_{ s }$ and $\Delta\Gamma_{ s }$ [60] used in the two methods. For $\Gamma_{ s }$ and $\Delta\Gamma_{ s }$ the correlation factor, $\rho$, between the two quantities is also reported. The decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{ d }$ is fixed to zero. |
