    A measurement of the cross-section for WeνW \to e\nu production in pppp collisions is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 22\,fb1^{-1} collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8\sqrt{s}=8\,TeV. The electrons are required to have more than 2020\,GeV of transverse momentum and to lie between 2.00 and 4.25 in pseudorapidity. The inclusive WW production cross-sections, where the WW decays to eνe\nu, are measured to be \begin{align*} \begin{split} \sigma_{W^{+} \to e^{+}\nu_{e}}&=1124.4\pm 2.1\pm 21.5\pm 11.2\pm 13.0\,\mathrm{pb},\\ \sigma_{W^{-} \to e^{-}\bar{\nu}_{e}}&=\,\,\,809.0\pm 1.9\pm 18.1\pm\,\,\,7.0\pm \phantom{0}9.4\,\mathrm{pb}, \end{split} \end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, the third are due to the knowledge of the LHC beam energy and the fourth are due to the luminosity determination. Differential cross-sections as a function of the electron pseudorapidity are measured. The W+/WW^{+}/W^{-} cross-section ratio and production charge asymmetry are also reported. Results are compared with theoretical predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics.

    A study of CP violation in B-+/- -> DK +/- and B-+/- -> D pi(+/-) decays with D -> (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+) final states

    Get PDF
    A first study of CP violation in the decay modes B±[KS0K±π]Dh±B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm \pi^\mp]_D h^\pm and B±[KS0Kπ±]Dh±B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\mp \pi^\pm]_D h^\pm, where hh labels a KK or π\pi meson and DD labels a D0D^0 or D0\overline{D}^0 meson, is performed. The analysis uses the LHCb data set collected in pppp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb1^{-1}. The analysis is sensitive to the CP-violating CKM phase γ\gamma through seven observables: one charge asymmetry in each of the four modes and three ratios of the charge-integrated yields. The results are consistent with measurements of γ\gamma using other decay modes

    We report on measurements of the time-dependent CP violating observables in Bs0DsK±B^0_s\rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm} decays using a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb1^{-1} of pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. We find the CP violating observables Cf=0.53±0.25±0.04C_f=0.53\pm0.25\pm0.04, AfΔΓ=0.37±0.42±0.20A^{\Delta\Gamma}_f=0.37\pm0.42\pm0.20, AfˉΔΓ=0.20±0.41±0.20A^{\Delta\Gamma}_{\bar{f}}=0.20\pm0.41\pm0.20, Sf=1.09±0.33±0.08S_f=-1.09\pm0.33\pm0.08, Sfˉ=0.36±0.34±0.08S_{\bar{f}}=-0.36\pm0.34\pm0.08, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. We use these observables to make the first measurement of the CKM angle γ\gamma in Bs0DsK±B^0_s\rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm} decays, finding γ\gamma = (11543+28_{-43}^{+28})^\circ modulo 180^\circ at 68% CL, where the error contains both statistical and systematic uncertainties.We report on measurements of the time-dependent CP violating observables in Bs0_{s}^{0}  → Ds_{s}^{∓} K±^{±} decays using a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb1^{−1} of pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. We find the CP violating observables Cf_{f} = 0.53±0.25±0.04, AfΔΓ_{f}^{ΔΓ}  = 0.37 ± 0.42 ± 0.20, AfΔΓ=0.20±0.41±0.20 {A}_{\overline{f}}^{\varDelta \varGamma }=0.20\pm 0.41\pm 0.20 , Sf_{f} = −1.09±0.33±0.08, Sf=0.36±0.34±0.08 {S}_{\overline{f}}=-0.36\pm 0.34\pm 0.08 , where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Using these observables together with a recent measurement of the Bs0_{s}^{0} mixing phase −2βs_{s} leads to the first extraction of the CKM angle γ from Bs0_{s}^{0}  → Ds_{s}^{∓} K±^{±} decays, finding γ = (11543+28_{− 43}^{+ 28} )° modulo 180° at 68% CL, where the error contains both statistical and systematic uncertainties.We report on measurements of the time-dependent CP violating observables in Bs0DsK±B^0_s\rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm} decays using a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb1^{-1} of pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector.
