Pavel Krokovny Heidelberg University on behalf of LHCb collaboration Introduction LHCb experiment Physics results S measurements prospects Conclusion Search for New Physics in CP violating measurements at LHCb
Why CP violation? CP violating parameters are well predicted by the Standard Model Good sensitivity to New Physics Huge statistics allows to perform a precise measurements
LHCb features Large bb cross section & acceptance: huge statistics Efficient trigger: reducing very high background Excellent vertexing: resolving fast Bs oscillation Good tracking & PID: signal reconstruction & background suppression
S measurement in B S mixing Bs->J/ is dominated by tree diagram. (penguin contribution is in order of ) Interference between direct & mixing decays gives a CP violating phase S = M -2 D. S in SM is small and well predicted: S = Good sensitivity for New Physics: S = S SM + S NP
Angular analysis
Flavor tagging Need to determine B S flavor at production time. Two methods: Same Side (Kaon flavor) and Opposite Side (other B flavor) Two key parameters: efficiency ( ) and dilution factor D=(1-2 ) Effective tagging power proportional to D 2 OST is calibrated on data using self-tagged B decays: B + D* + , J/ K + SST calibration: using double tag method
Flavor tagging performance Flavor tagger was tuned using 48K B 0 ->D* - + events Then we check performance on 6K B 0 ->D - + events eff (SS+OS) = 4.3 1.0 % compatible with MC expectation m d = ps -1 world average: ps -1 Mixing in B 0 D - + LHCb-Conf

CPV in charm Indirect CPV: mixing rate of D 0 D 0 and D 0 D 0 differ Direct CPV: amplitudes for D 0 /D 0 differ, mixture of mixing and decay diagram. The SM predicts very small CPV in charm: O (10 -4 ). Can be up to O (10 -2 ) in some NP models. Good prospects to search NP in charm! Promising modes: CS modes with penguin contribution:
