Description
The determination of the CP-violating phase φs in B0s -> J/ψ φ decays 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. We present the world's best measurement of φs and the first observation of a non-zero ΔΓs based upon 1.0 fb–1 of data collected at LHCb during 2011. φs can also be measured using the B0s -> J/ψ π π decay mode, which has been shown to be predominantly CP-odd. We present this measurement and the combination of φs from both decay modes.
