Measurement of CP observables in B ± → DK ± and B ± → Dπ ± with D → KS0K±π∓ decays

Measurements of CP observables in B± → DK± and B± → Dπ± decays are presented, where D represents a superposition of D0 and ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯0 states. The D meson is reconstructed in the three-body final states 0S±∓ and 0S∓±. The analysis uses samples of B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0, and 6.0 fb−1 collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of √ = 7, 8, and 13 TeV, respectively. These measurements are the most precise to date, and provide important input for the determination of the CKM angle γ.

Measurement of CP observables in the process B 0 → DK *0 with two- and four-body D decays

Measurements of CP observables in B0 → DK∗0 decays are presented, where D represents a superposition of D0 and D¯ states. The D meson is reconstructed in the two-body final states K+π−, π+K−, K+K− and π+π−, and, for the first time, in the fourbody final states K+π−π+π−, π+K−π+π− and π+π−π+π−. The analysis uses a sample of neutral B mesons produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0, 2.0 and 1.8 fb−1 collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of s=7,8 and 13 TeV, respectively.

Measurement of the CKM angle γ using B ± → DK ± with D → K S0 π + π −, K S0 K + K − decays

A binned Dalitz plot analysis of B± → DK± decays, with D → KS0π+π− and D → KS0K+K−, is used to perform a measurement of the CP-violating observables x± and y±, which are sensitive to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle γ. The analysis is performed without assuming any D decay model, through the use of information on the strong-phase variation over the Dalitz plot from the CLEO collaboration.

Measurement of CP asymmetry in Bs0 ? Ds? K ± decays

We report the measurements of the CP -violating parameters in Bs0 ? Ds?K± decays observed in pp collisions, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb?1 recorded with the LHCb detector. We measure Cf = 0.73 ± 0.14 ± 0.05, Af?? = 0.39 ± 0.28 ± 0.15, Af=0.31±0.28±0.15, Sf = ?0.52 ± 0.20 ± 0.07, Sf¯= ? 0.49 ± 0.20 ± 0.07 , where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These parameters are used together with the world-average value of the Bs0 mixing phase, ?2?s, to obtain a measurement of the CKM angle ? from Bs0 ? Ds?K± decays, yielding ?

Measurement of CP violation in B 0 ? D ??± decays

A measurement of the CP asymmetries Sf and Sf¯ in B0 ? D??± decays is reported. The decays are reconstructed in a dataset collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb?1. The CP asymmetries are measured to be Sf = 0.058 ± 0.020(stat) ± 0.011(syst) and Sf¯=0.038±0.020(stat)±0.007(syst). These results are in agreement with, and more precise than, previous determinations. They are used to constrain angles of the unitarity triangle, | sin (2?
