Physics Motivations CP violation studies can provide a profound understanding of quark flavour physics in the SM framework and reveal a sign of the physics beyond! An outstanding role is played by B s mesons decays into CP eigenstates (b ccs transitions), such as B s J/ψ η, B s η c φ, B s J/ψ φ. Physics model: B s b s W + Physics motivations: c c s s J/ψ η c φ η Quark transition b ccs dominated by only one CKM amplitude penguins are negligible No CP-violation in the decay amplitude Easy channels to look for CP-violation Bs decays into pure CP-even eigenstates for J/ψ η and η c φ Bs decays into an admixture of CP eigenstates for J/ψ φ angular analysis Measure the B s weak mixing phase φ s arg (V tsv tb ) - expected O(.4) in SM Extract B s B s mixing parameters M s and Γ s Larger value of φ s would be a clear signal for contributions from new physics

Visible Branching Ratios (PDG 3) η and η are defined as: η = η 8 cos θ P η 1 sin θ P η = η 8 sin θ P + η 1 cos θ P θ P is calculated (SM) to be 1 o where η 1 and η 8 are composed by the quarks: η 1 = 1 3 uu + dd + ss η 8 = 1 6 uu + dd ss Causiously we fixed: η = η 1 (θ P 9 o ) what leads to a BR of: BR ch vis ( B s J/ψ η ) = (7.6 ±.5) 1 6 With θ P 1 o, the BR would be estimated ( 1.76): BR ch vis ( B s J/ψ η ) = (13.4 ±.8) 1 6 Consequences on the B/S ratios and annual signal yields!
B/S Ratios Estimation The most dangerous source of background are bb events, i.e. events where at least a b-hadron is emitted forward in the acceptance region. For this study: 5k signal events were used to tune the selection for each channel, while 1M background events have been analysed.

Status on the Sensitivity Studies (with Luis) The B s B s system will serve to test the Standard Model description of CP violation, based on the CKM picture (talk of Luis at the SPS). Physics Motivations: measure the mixing parameters extract M s O() ps 1 and Γ s /Γ s O(1%) probe the B s B s weak mixing phase φ s, expected to be small in the SM O(.4) B s system represents a prime candidate for the discovery of New Physics The sensitivity of LHCb to the CP B s observables are assessed by the use of fast toy Monte Carlo experiments, using RooFit. No results for the moment, due to the following problems: The acceptance has not been implemented yet - convergence difficulties Important variation of the results between versions - not reliable Biases in the pulls - can t trust the results Normalisation problems These points are under investigation!
Conclusion B s mass resolutions Good for the decay with J/ψ µ + µ : 33 MeV/c Larger for the decay with J/ψ e + e : 61 MeV/c Proper time resolutions Excellent resolutions ( 45 fs) needed for the CP violation study As M s = O() ps 1, the resolution are precise enough to resolve the fast B s B s oscillations. B/S estimations - Good rejection of the background (no bb event selected) J/ψ µ + µ : [., 1.] [.,.69] J/ψ e + e : [., 4.56] [.,.58] Annual Signal Yields J/ψ µ + µ : 7.4 k 13.1 contribution to B s sensitivity studies??? J/ψ e + e :.8 k 1.46 negligeable??? Significant improvement of the yield and of the B/S ratio when θ P = 1 o
Future plans Data Challenge 4 Provide pre-selection algorithm to generate the stripped bkg Provide selection algorithm with tight cuts to confirm the TDR estimations Get ready to work on the HLT selections B s J/ψ η selection Study which BR to use for the η Decide if the J/ψ e + e contribution is significant enough to be added to the J/ψ µ + µ Sensitivity studies Solve the difficulties encoutered till now Provide a general toy which can be used by other selection - B s J/ψ φ, B s η c φ,...

Bkp: Trigger System Aim of the L trigger stage: Rate reduction from 4 MHz (detector output) to 1MHz (L1 input) The L is implemented in hardware and makes use of the muon stations, ECAL and HCAL detectors using high-p T of leptons, photons, and hadrons combined with a pile-up veto Aim of the L1 trigger stage: rate reduction from 1 MHz (L output) to 4 khz (HLT input) such that 4% of the minimum bias events are retained The L1 is implemented in software and makes use of the Velo (VErtex LOcator), TT (Trigger Tracker) detectors, and the L information Requires two tracks with high transverse momentum (p T1 and p T ) and large impact parameter for the generic algorithm Bonus: The efficiency for some benchmark specific channels such as Bd µ+ µ K, Bd K γ, Bd π+ π, Bd J/ΨK s is enhanced, based on the L information Aim of the HLT trigger stage: Final software decision on whether or not to write the event to storage ( Hz foreseen)
