Abstract: (arXiv)
A pioneering machine-learning-based flavor-tagging algorithm combining same-side and opposite-side tagging is used to obtain the equivalent of 27\,000 tagged Bs0^0_\mathrm{s}\to J/ψϕ\psi\, \phi(1020) decays from pp collisions at s=\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 96.5 fb1^{-1}. A time- and flavor-dependent angular analysis of the μ+μ\mu^+\mu^-K+^+K^- final state is used to measure parameters of the Bs0\mathrm{B}^0_\mathrm{s}-Bs0\overline{\mathrm{B}}^0_\mathrm{s} system. The weak phase is measured to be ϕs\phi_\mathrm{s} = -73 ±\pm 23 (stat) ±\pm 7 (syst) mrad, which, combined with a s\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV CMS result, gives ϕs\phi_\mathrm{s} = -74 ±\pm 23 mrad. This value differs from zero by 3.2 standard deviations, providing evidence for CPCP violation in Bs0^0_\mathrm{s}\to J/ψϕ\psi\,\phi(1020) decays. All measured physics parameters are found to agree with standard model predictions where available.
