$\sin(2\beta)$ with $B^0 \rightarrow\!J/\!\psi K_\text{S}$ at the LHCb experiment
 Reference: Poster-2015-482 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Niet, Ramon The poster presents the recent measurement of $\sin(2\beta)$ using $B^0$ decays to the $J/\!\psi K_\text{S}$ final state. The measurement is based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0$\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. To control penguin pollutions in the determination of $\sin(2\beta)$, $B_s^0$ decays to the same final state can be analysed. The results of the corresponding analysis are presented as well.

Study of the rare $B^{0}_{s}$ and $B^{0}$ decays into the $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ final state at LHCb
 Reference: Poster-2015-481 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Komarov, Ilya A search for the rare decays B0s->pi pi mu mu and B0->pi pi mu mu is performed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. Decay candidates with pion pairs that have invariant mass in the range 0.5--1.3 GeV/c2 and with muon pairs that do not originate from a resonance are considered. The first observation of the decay B0s->pi pi mu mu and the first evidence of the decay B0->pi pi mu mu are obtained and the branching fractions, restricted to the dipion-mass range considered, are measured to be Br(B0s->pi pi mu mu) = (8.6 +/- 1.5 (stat) +/- 0.7 (syst) +/- 0.7 (norm))*10^-8 and Br(B0->pi pi mu mu) = (2.11 +/- 0.51 (stat) +/- 0.15 (syst) +/- 0.16 (norm)) *10^-8, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the decay B0->J/psi K*, used as a normalisation.

Flavour Tagging with the LHCb experiment
 Reference: Poster-2015-479 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Birnkraut, Alex Measurements of flavour oscillations and time-dependent CP asymmetries in neutral B meson systems require knowledge of the b quark production flavour. This identification is performed by the Flavour Tagging. Related links:LHCC conference poster Access to files

Measurement of the semileptonic $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 - \bar {B^0}$ mixing
 Reference: Poster-2015-478 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): De Vries, Jacco The semileptonic CP asymmetry in B0−B⎯⎯⎯0 mixing, adsl, is measured in proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment. Semileptonic B0 decays are reconstructed in the inclusive final states D−μ+ and D∗−μ+, where the D− meson decays into the K+π−π− final state, and the D∗− meson into the D⎯⎯⎯0(→K+π−)π− final state. The asymmetry between the numbers of D(∗)−μ+ and D(∗)+μ− decays is measured as a function of the decay time of the B0 mesons. The CP asymmetry is measured to be adsl=(−0.02±0.19±0.30)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the most precise measurement of adsl to date and is consistent with the prediction from the Standard Model. Related links:LHCC conference poster © CERN Geneva Access to files

$\mathcal{CP}$ violating phase $\phi_s$ and penguin pollution in $B_s^0\to J/\psi K^+K^-$ with LHCb
 Reference: Poster-2015-477 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Vazquez Sierra, Carlos CP violating phase φs appears in b → anti(c)cs transitions due to the interference between the direct decay and the decay after the Bs⁰-anti(Bs⁰) mixing. In SM, φs = -2βs + δP, where -2βs is related to CKM matrix elements and δP is the penguin phase where contributions due to penguin diagrams are taken into account, being this δP phase also the main source of theoretical uncertainty in φs. This φs phase is very sensitive to possible NP (new particles contributing to box diagrams during the mixing, several possible BSM scenarios are presented), so δP should be estimated in order to disentangle these penguin pollution contributions from possible NP contributions, φs(LHCb) = -2βs + δP + δNP. The decay Bs⁰ → J/ψ K⁺K⁻ is a golden decay for φs measurement: latest LHCb combined result also including Bs⁰ → J/ψ π⁺π⁻ measurements is φs = -0.010 ± 0.039 rad, which is in excellent agreement with SM. The penguin pollution phase δP can be estimated using B⁰ → J/ψ ρ⁰ and Bs⁰ → J/ψ anti(K*⁰) decay channels separately: measurement in B⁰ → J/ψ ρ⁰ decay is |δP| < 0.02 rad at 95% CL. Measurement in Bs⁰ → J/ψ anti(K*⁰) decay channel is still ongoing. Related links:LHCC conference poster © CERN Geneva Access to files

Differential branching fraction and angular anaysis of Λb→Λμ+μ− decays
 Reference: Poster-2015-476 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Pescatore, Luca The differential branching fraction of the rare decay Λ0b → Λμ+μ− is measured as a function of q2, the square of the dimuon invariant mass. The analysis is performed using data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1. These include evidence for signal at dimuon masses below the square of the J/ψ mass with significance above 3σ. In the q2 intervals where the signal is observed, angular distributions are studied and the forward-backward asymmetries in the dimuon and hadron systems are measured for the first time.

Search for Exotics with LHCb
 Reference: Poster-2015-475 Keywords:  LHCb Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Muster, Bastien A search is presented for long-lived particles with a mass between 25 and 50 GeV/c^2 and a lifetime between 1 and 200ps in a sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s} = 7TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.62fb^{-1}, collected by the LHCb detector. The particles are assumed to be pair-produced by the decay of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson. The experimental signature of the long-lived particle is a displaced vertex with two associated jets. No excess above the background is observed and limits are set on the production cross-section as a function of the long-lived particle mass and lifetime.

First Observation and Measurement of the Branching Fraction for the Decay $B^0_S \rightarrow D{_S}^* K$
 Reference: Poster-2015-473 Created: 2015. -1 p Creator(s): Sestini, Lorenzo The Bs -> Ds* K and Bs -> Ds* \pi decays are of paramount interest as they can be used, combined with Bs -> Ds K and Bd -> D* \pi, to measure the weak phase \gamma. We present the first observation of the Bs -> Ds* K decay, where Ds* are reconstructed through the decay chain Ds* -> Ds (-> K K \pi) \gamma, using an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb^{-1} recorded by the LHCb experiment.
