Measurement of the flavour-specific CP-violating asymmetry $a_{\mathrm{sl}}^s$ in $B_s^0$ decays

Abstract

The CP-violating asymmetry a_{sl}^s is studied using semileptonic decays of Bs and anti-Bs mesons produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC, exploiting a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0/fb. The reconstructed final states are Ds^(+/-)μ^(-/+), with the Ds^(+/-) particle decaying in the ϕπ^(+/-) mode. The Ds^(+/-)μ^{-/+) yields are summed over Bs and anti-Bs initial states, and integrated with respect to decay time. Data-driven methods are used to measure efficiency ratios. We obtain $a_{sl}^s$ = (-0.06 +/- 0.50 +/- 0.36)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
