Overview

abstract

  • ; A novel machine-learning-based flavor-tagging algorithm combining same-side and opposite-side tagging is used to obtain the equivalent of 27 500 tagged; ; ; B; s; 0; ; ; J; /; ψ; ϕ; (; 1020; ); ; decays from; ; p; p; ; collisions at; ; ; s; ; =; 13; ; ; TeV; ; , collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of; ; 96.5; ; ; ; fb; ; ; 1; ; ; ; . A time- and flavor-dependent angular analysis of the; ; ; ; ; ; μ; ; ; +; ; ; ; ; μ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; K; ; ; +; ; ; ; ; K; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; final state, consistent with a; ; ; ; ϕ; (; 1020; ); ; ; ; ; ; K; ; ; +; ; ; ; ; K; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; decay, is used to measure parameters of the; ; ; B; s; 0; ; ; ; ; B; ¯; ; s; 0; ; ; system.

This value differs from zero by 3.2 standard deviations, providing the first evidence for mixing-induced; ; C; P; ; violation in; ; ; B; s; 0; ; ; J; /; ψ; ϕ; (; 1020; ); ; decays. All measured physics parameters are found to agree with standard model predictions where available.;
