Description

Using fully reconstructed $B_{s}$ mesons, we measure the branching fractions for the decays of $B_s \to D_s^{(*)+}D_s^{(*)-}$ exclusively. Assuming these decay modes saturate decays to CP-even final states, the branching fraction determines the relative width difference between the $CP$-odd and $CP$-even $B_s$ states. The results are based on a data sample collected with the Belle detector at the $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonance with an integrated luminosity of 122 fb$^{-1}$ at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider.
