Study of Bs->PhiGamma decays at LHCb

2021

This thesis describes two different analyses performed at LHCb using the B0s→φγ and B0→K∗0γ decay channels. First, the measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ)/B(B0s→φγ) is presented, giving the most precise value for B(B0s→φγ) to date. Secondly, the CP-violating observables S and C, as well as the mixing-induced A∆ parameter are measured through a time-dependent analysis of the B0s→φγ decay channel, this being the first time the S and C observables are probed in the Bs system. These studies are performed using data collected in 2011 and 2012 by the LHCb experiment at CERN, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1 of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of…
