AbstractAbstract
[en] In the Bs0 → ψφ channel, the phase φs is predicted to be significantly small in the Standard Model. This observable is an excellent probe for New Physics because the Bs0-B-bars0 mixing takes place via a loop diagram where new particles are expected to intervene. These two reasons makes the φs parameter an excellent probe for New Physics processes. We developed a simplified selection for the 2010 data. It avoids any bias on the proper time distribution in order to reduce systematic uncertainty. In addition, we control the tagging performance for Bs0 → J/ψφ events using the similar Bd0 → J/ψK*0 and B+ → J/ψK+ channels. With the 2010 data, we obtain 570 signal events in 36 pb-1 of integrated luminosity, a tagging power of (2.2 ± 0.4)% and a proper time resolution of 50 fs. We investigated an alternative selection which maximizes the φs sensitivity using a proper time biasing cuts. We proposed a data-driven method to correct the proper time acceptance. We designed a fitting program to determine the φs phase. With the 2010 data, it is found to be: φs belongs to [-2.7, -0.5] rad at 68% of confidence. This result is compatible with the Standard Model prediction. (author)
