Description

A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of Bs0 → J/ψϕ decays is presented where the J/ψ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an e+e pair. The analysis uses a sample of pp collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb1. The CP-violating phase and lifetime parameters of the Bs0 system are measured to be ϕs = 0.00±0.28±0.07 rad, ΔΓs = 0.115±0.045±0.011 ps1 and Γs = 0.608±0.018±0.012 ps1 where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that CP-violating parameters are measured in the Bs0 → J/ψϕ decay with an e+e pair in the final state. The results are consistent with previous measurements in other channels and with the Standard Model predictions.
