Description
The determination of the mixing induced CP-violating asymmetry in
decays such as $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ is one of the key goals
of the LHCb experiment.
Its value is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but
can be significantly enhanced in many models of New Physics.
The steps towards a precise determination of this phase with a
flavour-tagged, time-dependent, angular analysis of the decay
$B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ will be presented, and first results
shown from this measurement programme, using data collected
in 2010 and the early months of the 2011 run. Results will
also be shown, and prospects discussed, from related measurements.
