Search for CP violation in Λb0→pK− and Λb0→pπ− decays
A search for CP violation in Λb0→pK− and Λb0→pπ− decays is presented using a sample of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb−1. The CP -violating asymmetries are measured to be ACPpK−=−0.020±0.013±0.019 and ACPpπ−=−0.035±0.017±0.020, and their difference ACPpK−−ACPpπ−=0.014±0.022±0.010, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise measurements of such asymmetries to date
Measurement of the CP asymmetry in B- -> (Ds-D0) and B- -> (D-D0) decays
The CP asymmetry in B- -> (Ds-D0) and B- -> (D-D0) decays is measured using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb(-1), collected in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. The results are A(CP) (B- -> (Ds-D0)) = (-0.4 +/- 0.5 +/- 0.5)% and A(CP) (B- -> (D-D0)) = (2.3 +/- 2.7 +/- 0.4)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. This is the first measurement of A(CP) (B- -> (Ds-D0)) and the most precise determination of A(CP) (B- -> (D-D0)). Neither result shows evidence of CP violation
Measurement of the CKM angle using with decays
A model-dependent amplitude analysis of the decay is performed using proton-proton collision data
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb, recorded at
and by the LHCb experiment. The CP violation observables
and , sensitive to the CKM angle , are measured to
be \begin{eqnarray*} x_- &=& -0.15 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.01, y_- &=& 0.25 \pm
0.15 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.01, x_+ &=& 0.05 \pm 0.24 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.01, y_+ &=&
-0.65^{+0.24}_{-0.23} \pm 0.08 \pm 0.01, \end{eqnarray*} where the first
uncertainties are statistical, the second systematic and the third arise from
the uncertainty on the amplitude model. These
are the most precise measurements of these observables. They correspond to
and , where is
the magnitude of the ratio of the suppressed and favoured decay amplitudes, in a mass region of around the

Measurement of asymmetry in decays
We report the measurements of the -violating parameters in decays observed in collisions, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of recorded with the LHCb detector. We measure , , , , , where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These parameters are used together with the world-average value of the mixing phase, , to obtain a measurement of the CKM angle from decays, yielding \gamma = (128\,_{-22}^{+17})^\circ modulo , where the uncertainty contains both statistical and systematic contributions. This corresponds to evidence for violation in the interference between decay and decay after mixing.We report the measurements of the CP -violating parameters in B → D K decays observed in pp collisions, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb recorded with the LHCb detector. We measure C = 0.73 ± 0.14 ± 0.05, A = 0.39 ± 0.28 ± 0.15, , S = −0.52 ± 0.20 ± 0.07, , where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. These parameters are used together with the world-average value of the B mixing phase, −2β , to obtain a measurement of the CKM angle γ from B → D K decays, yielding γ = (128 )° modulo 180°, where the uncertainty contains both statistical and systematic contributions. This corresponds to 3.8 σ evidence for CP violation in the interference between decay and decay after mixing
Measurement of the electron reconstruction efficiency at LHCb
The single electron track-reconstruction efficiency is calibrated using a sample corresponding to 1.3 fb−1 of pp collision data recorded with the LHCb detector in 2017. This measurement exploits B+→ J/ψ(e+e−)K+ decays, where one of the electrons is fully reconstructed and paired with the kaon, while the other electron is reconstructed using only the information of the vertex detector. Despite this partial reconstruction, kinematic and geometric constraints allow the B meson mass to be reconstructed and the signal to be well separated from backgrounds. This in turn allows the electron reconstruction efficiency to be measured by matching the partial track segment found in the vertex detector to tracks found by LHCb's regular reconstruction algorithms. The agreement between data and simulation is evaluated, and corrections are derived for simulated electrons in bins of kinematics. These correction factors allow LHCb to measure branching fractions involving single electrons with a systematic uncertainty below 1%
