Title: Search for CP violation in semileptonic B(s)0 decays

Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:956743

We have performed a search for CP violation in a sample of semileptonic B{sub s}{sup 0} decays corresponding to approximately 5 fb{sup -1} of data collected by the D0 detector in Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A time-dependent fit to the distributions of the B{sub s}{sup 0} candidates yields the flavor-specific asymmetry a{sub fs}{sup s} = [-1.7 {+-} 9.1(stat){sub -2.3}{sup +1.2}(syst)] x 10{sup -3}. This is the most precise measurement to date of this CP violation parameter.
