Bd(s)h+h-event selection • Selection cuts are simultaneously optimized in order to maximize • Two major sources of backgrounds taken into account • Combinatorial background from bb inclusive events • Due to the huge minimum bias MC statistics required for a detailed study of combinatorial background, we make the plausible assumption that most of the combinatorial background will come from beauty events (presence of high pT and large IP tracks from B) • Specific background from B decayswith same two-track topology • e.g. BdK+-, BsK+K-, Bs+K- as backgrounds for Bd+- • After event selection, tagging and trigger algorithms are tuned on selected events LHCb Public Note 2003-123 Physics at LHC

CP sensitivity studiesFast Monte Carlo Simulation • In order to study the sensitivity on the angle we generated many data samples, each corresponding to different settings of the relevant unknown parameters: • Ms,, s, d, , etc. • The Fast Monte Carlo produces proper time and invariant mass distributions {(t, m)k; k=1, N}of tagged B decays (combinatorial background included). • The {(t, m)k; k=1, N} distributions are parameterized according to the proper time acceptance, resolution and invariant mass distributions obtained from the full GEANT simulation, which takes into account realistic pattern recognition, trigger and offline selection. Physics at LHC
Likelihood Fit • In order to extract CP asymmetries and mistag fraction simultaneously from data we perform a combined extended unbinned maximum likelihood fit of Bd+ - and BdK+ - (BsK+K- and Bs+K-) event samples (plus background) • BdK+ - (Bs+ K-) is a flavour specific decay and is used as control channel • Bd+ - (BsK+ K- ) and BdK+ - (Bs+ K-) have the same two-track topology (same tagging power) • extract the wrong tag probability from data itself • The fit is performed against 17 parameters describing the shape of the decay rate and invariant mass distributions • In particular we obtain the joint p.d.f. for the CP asymmetry coefficients Adir and Amix • Bivariate gaussians G(Adir, Amix) for the Bd+ - andGKK(Adir, Amix) for the BsK+ K- LHCb Public Note 2003-124 Physics at LHC

Conclusions • The LHCb experiment will select and tag very large samples of Bd (Bs) charmless two-body decays • By combining the measurements of the Bd+-andBsK+K- asymmetry coefficients LHCb can measure with a 5° statistical uncertainty, in one year, assuming U-spin symmetry and Standard Model • This strategy could disclose new physics effects in penguin diagrams providing a different measurement of with respect to e.g. and • see LHCb talks by Eduardo Rodrigues and Sandra Amato Physics at LHC

U-spin Symmetry How much rely on it? • U-spin symmetry in the relations d=d’ and =’ is not broken within naïve factorization approximation (Fleischer, Phys. Lett. B459, 1999) • Fleischer and Matias (hep-ph/0204101) allow for a SU(3) violation of 20%: d’/d 0.8÷1.2 • Matias (hep-ph/0311042) claims that a SU(3) breaking of 20% would induce only a5o shifton ; a phase difference =’- as large as 40o induces only a shift on of1o • Beneke (hep-ph/0308040) estimates through QCD factorization a possible SU(3) violation at 30% level:d’/d 0.85÷1.3, ±15o • A better understanding of SU(3) breaking would be desirable, but a O(20%) breaking does not spoil the measurement Physics at LHC
