Abstract

A measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in Bs0→ϕϕ decays is presented. Using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0fb−1 collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies s=7 TeV in 2011, 8 TeV in 2012 and 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016, a signal yield of around 9000 Bs0→ϕϕ decays is obtained. The CP-violating phase ϕsss¯s is measured to be −0.073±0.115(stat)±0.027(syst) rad, under the assumption it is independent on the helicity of the ϕϕ decay. In addition, the CP-violating phases of the transverse polarisations under the assumption of CP conservation of the longitudinal phase are measured. The helicity-independent direct CP-violation parameter is also measured, and is found to be $|\lambda|=0.99 \pm 0.05 (stat) \pm 0.01 $(syst). In addition, T-odd triple-product asymmetries are measured. The results obtained are consistent with the hypothesis of CP conservation in bs¯ss¯ transitions. Finally, a limit on the branching fraction of the B0→ϕϕ decay is determined to be B(B0→ϕϕ)<2.7×10−8 at 90% confidence level.
