Measurement of the $CP$ asymmetry in $B_s^0-\overline{B}{}_s^0$ mixing

Abstract

The $CP$ asymmetry in the mixing of $B_s^0$ and $\overline{B}{}_s^0$ mesons is measured in proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb${}^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. Semileptonic $B_s^0$ and $\overline{B}{}_s^0$ decays are studied in the inclusive mode $D_s^{\mp }{\mu }^{\pm }{\nu }_{\mu }X$ with the $D_s^{\mp }$ mesons reconstructed in the $K^{+}{K}^{-}{\pi }^{\mp }$ final state. Correcting the observed charge asymmetry for detection and background effects, the $CP$ asymmetry is found to be $a_{\text{sl}}^s=(0.39\pm 0.26\pm 0.20)\%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the most precise measurement of $a_{\text{sl}}^s$ to date. It is consistent with the prediction from the Standard Model and will constrain new models of particle physics.
