Abstract: (Springer)
A flavour-tagged decay-time-dependent amplitude analysis of Bs0_{s}^{0}  → (K+^{+}π^{−})(K^{−}π+^{+}) decays is presented in the K±^{±}π^{∓} mass range from 750 to 1600MeV/c2^{2}. The analysis uses pp collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb1^{−1}. Several quasi-two-body decay modes are considered, corresponding to K±^{±}π^{∓} combinations with spin 0, 1 and 2, which are dominated by the K0_{0}^{*} (800)0^{0} and K0_{0}^{*} (1430)0^{0}, the K^{*}(892)0^{0} and the K2_{2}^{*} (1430)0^{0} resonances, respectively. The longitudinal polarisation fraction for the Bs0K(892)K(892)0 {B}_s^0\to {K}^{\ast }(892){}^{\circ}{\overline{K}}^{\ast }{(892)}^0 decay is measured as fL_{L} = 0.208 ± 0.032 ± 0.046, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The first measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase, ϕsdd {\phi}_s^{d\overline{d}} , in bdds b\to d\overline{d}s transitions is performed, yielding a value of ϕsdd=0.10±0.13(stat)±0.14 {\phi}_s^{d\overline{d}}=-0.10\pm 0.13\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)\pm 0.14 (syst) rad.
