ABSTRACT
|
The CP-violating weak phase φs and the decay width difference ΔΓs between the light and heavy B0s mass eigenstates are measured with the CMS detector at the LHC in a sample of 48 500 reconstructed B0s → J/ψ φ (1020) → μ+ μ− K+ K− events. The measurement is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 96.4 fb−1, collected in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV in 2017–2018. To extract the values of φs and ΔΓs, a time-dependent and flavor-tagged angular analysis of the μ+ μ− K+ K− final state is performed. The analysis employs a dedicated tagging trigger and a novel opposite-side muon flavor tagger based on machine learning techniques. The measurement yields φs = −11 ±50 (stat)±10 (syst)mradand ΔΓs = 0.114 ±0.014 (stat)±0.007 (syst)ps−1, in agreement with the standard model predictions. When combined with the previous CMS measurement at √s = 8 TeV, the following values are obtained: φs = − 21 ±44 (stat)±10 (syst)mrad, ΔΓs = 0.1032 ± 0.0095 (stat)±0.0048 (syst)ps−1, a significant improvement over the 8 TeV result. |
