Abstract

Measurement of mixing-induced CP violation in decays is of prime importance in probing new physics. So far only the channel has been used. Here we report on a measurement using an LHCb data sample of 0.41 fb−1, in the CP odd eigenstate J/ψf0(980), where f0(980)→π+π−. A time-dependent fit of the data with the lifetime and the difference in widths of the heavy and light eigenstates constrained to the values obtained from yields a value of the CP violating phase of −0.44±0.44±0.02 rad, consistent with the Standard Model expectation.
