Description

The CP asymmetry in Bs-Bsbar mixing is sensitive to new Physics. This can be probed from measurement of the time dependent charge asymmetry. This method also allows measurement of the Bs-Bsbar production asymmetry. This talk desribes an approach for making this measurement at LHCb. The Bs lifetimes are calculated using energy and momentum conservation considerations. This results in a two-fold ambiguity of the lifetime. Methods for dealing with the two solutions are presented as well as the resulting measurements of the CP and production asymmetry.
