Description

The LHCb experiment will offer a precise hadronic probe with which to study CP violation and possible New Physics (NP) effects in the Bs system. For example from Bs->JpsiPhi decays, it will be possible to measure the CP violating weak phase, phis. This phase owing to its small Standard Model (SM) prediction, -0.04 rad, will provide a sensitive indicator to NP occurring at the TeV scale. The analysis of Bs->JpsiPhi decays requires using its decay angular information to separate out the CP eigenstates. The sensitivity to phis can then be extracted from the angular differential rate for this mode. Previous studies have shown this sensitivity using reduced expression for the decays rates. But by studying the full expression, we find both a quantitative and qualitative improvement in the precision with which phis is obtained. This talk, in preparation for data taking at the LHCb, presents this expected improvement.
