Measurement of polarization and search for CP violation in B(s)0 decays. uri icon

abstract

  • We present the first measurement of polarization and CP-violating asymmetries in a B(s)(0) decay into two light vector mesons, B(s)(0), and an improved determination of its branching ratio using 295 decays reconstructed in a data sample corresponding to 2.9 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The fraction of longitudinal polarization is determined to be f(L)=0.3480.041(stat)0.021(syst), and the branching ratio B(B(s)(0))=[2.320.18(stat)0.82(syst)]10(-5). Asymmetries of decay angle distributions sensitive to CP violation are measured to be A(u)=-0.0070.064(stat)0.018(syst) and A(v)=-0.1200.064(stat)0.016(syst).
