Measurement of B+, B0 and Λb0 production in pPb collisions at sNN =8.16 TeV

The production of B+, B0 and Λb0 hadrons is studied in proton-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sNN=8.16 TeV recorded with the LHCb detector at the LHC. The measurement uses a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.2±0.3 nb-1 for the case where the proton beam is projected into the LHCb detector (corresponding to measuring hadron production at positive rapidity) and 18.6±0.5 nb-1 for the lead beam projected into the LHCb detector (corresponding to measuring hadron production at negative rapidity).

Measurement of the CP-violating phase ϕs from Bs0→J/ψπ+π− decays in 13 TeV pp collisions

Decays of Bs0 and B‾0s mesons into J/ψπ+π− final states are studied in a data sample corresponding to 1.9 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector in 13 TeV pp collisions. A time-dependent amplitude analysis is used to determine the final-state resonance contributions, the CP-violating phase ϕs=−0.057±0.060±0.011 rad, the decay-width difference between the heavier mass Bs0 eigenstate and the B0 meson of −0.050±0.004±0.004 ps−1, and the CP-violating parameter |λ|=1.01−0.06+0.08±0.03, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
