Title Observation of CP Violation in B?? ??? DK?? Decays Author(s) Gandini, Paolo Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. Description XIX, 167 p. 127 illus., 115 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note CP violation is a well-established phenomenon in particle physics, but until 2001 it was only observed in kaons. In the last decade, several matter-antimatter asymmetries have been observed in neutral B mesons in line with the expectations of the Standard Model of the weak interaction.?? Direct CP violation is also expected in the decay rates of charged B+ mesons versus that of B- mesons, though the greatest effects are present in a decay that occurs just twice in 10 million decays. Such rarity requires huge samples to study and this is exactly what the LHC, and its dedicated B-physics experiment LHCb provide.??This thesis??presents an??analysis of the first two years of LHCb data.??The author??describes the first observation of the rare decay, B- ??? DK-, D ??? ??-K+ and the first observation of direct CP violation in this B decay. The work??consitutes essential information on the experiment???s measurement of a fundamental parameter of the theory and stands as a benchmark against which subsequent analyses of this type will be compared ISBN,Price 9783319010298 Keyword(s) 1.
