Measurement of the CP violation phase $\ddot{I}{•}_s$ in the $B_s$ system at LHCb

Abstract

The interference between Bs decay amplitudes to CP eigenstates Jpsi X directly or including Bs-Bsbar oscillation gives rise to a measurable CP violating phase phi_s. Here, a preliminary measurement of phi_s with Bs -> JpsiK+K- decays, and the measurement using Bs->Jpsipi+pi- decays, both obtained from a sample of 1/fb of pp collisions, collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt{s}=7 TeV during 2011, are presented. In addition, the determination of the branching fraction and polarization fractions of Bs->JpsiKstbar, which can be used to constrain the contribution of sub-leading penguin contributions to the decay Bs->Jpsi phi, is shown.
