Measurement of the CP-violating phase ${\varphi }_s$ and the $B_s^0$ meson decay width difference with $B_s^0\to J/\psi \varphi$ decays in ATLAS

Abstract

A measurement of the $B_s^0$ decay parameters in the $B_s^0\to J/\psi \varphi$ channel using an integrated luminosity of 14.3 ${\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$ collected by the ATLAS detector from 8 TeV $pp$ collisions at the LHC is presented. The measured parameters include the $CP$-violating phase ${\varphi }_s$, the decay width ${\Gamma }_s$ and the width difference between the mass eigenstates $\Delta {\Gamma }_s$. The values measured for the physical parameters are statistically combined with those from 4.9 ${\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$ of 7 TeV data, leading to the following: \begin{eqnarray*} ϕ_s & = & -0.090 \pm 0.078\;\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.041\;\mathrm{(syst.)\;rad} \\ ΔΓ_s & = & 0.085 \pm 0.011\;\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.007\;\mathrm{(syst.)\;ps}^{-1} \\ Γ_s & = & 0.675 \pm 0.003\;\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm 0.003\;\mathrm{(syst.)\;ps}^{-1}. \end{eqnarray*} In the analysis the parameter $\Delta {\Gamma }_s$ is constrained to be positive. Results for ${\varphi }_s$ and $\Delta {\Gamma }_s$ are also presented as 68% and 95% likelihood contours in the ${\varphi }_s-\Delta {\Gamma }_s$ plane. Also measured in this decay channel are the transversity amplitudes and corresponding strong phases. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
