Measurement of the CP-violating weak phase ϕs and the decay width difference ΔΓs using the decay channel in pp collisions at
The CP-violating weak phase φs of the B0 s meson and the decay width difference ΔΓs of the B0 s light and heavy mass eigenstates are measured with the CMS detector at the LHC using a data sample of B0 s →J/ψ φ(1020) → µ +µ -K+K- decays. Our analysed data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. Additionally, a total of 49 200 reconstructed B0 s decays are used to extract the values of φs and ΔΓs by performing a time-dependent and flavourtagged angular analysis of the µ +µ -K+K- final state. The weak phase is measured to be φs = -0.075 ± 0.097 (stat) ± 0.031 (syst) rad, and the decay width difference is ΔΓs = 0.095 ± 0.013 (stat) ± 0.007 (syst) ps-1 .
