Generalised CP and A4 family symmetry
No full textWe perform a comprehensive study of family symmetry models based on A4 combined with the generalised CP symmetry H CP. We investigate the lepton mixing parameters which can be obtained from the original symmetry A4 ? H CP breaking to different remnant symmetries in the neutrino and charged lepton sectors. We find that only one case is phenomenologically viable, namely G?CP?ZS2×H?CP in the neutrino sector and GlCP?ZT3?HlCP in the charged lepton sector, leading to the prediction of no CP violation, namely ? CP and the Majorana phases ? 21 and ? 31 are all equal to either zero or ?. We then propose an effective supersymmetric model based on the symmetry A4 ? H CP in which trimaximal lepton mixing is predicted together with either zero CP violation or ? CP ? ±?/2 with non-trivial Majorana phases. An ultraviolet completion of the effective model yields a neutrino mass matrix which depends on only three real parameters. As a result of this, all three CP phases and the absolute neutrino mass scale are determined, the atmospheric mixing angle is maximal, and the Dirac CP can either be preserved with ? CP ?=?0, ? or maximally broken with ? CP ?=?±?/2 and sharp predictions for the Majorana phases and neutrinoless double beta deca

Measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B0 -> J/ψ KS0 decays
Full text linkThis Letter reports a measurement of the CP violation observables SJ/ψK0S and CJ/ψK0S in the decay channel B0→J/ψK0S performed with 1.0 fb−1 of pp collisions at s√=7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The fit to the data yields SJ/ψK0S=0.73±0.07(stat)±0.04(syst) and CJ/ψK0S=0.03±0.09(stat)±0.01(syst). Both values are consistent with the current world averages and within
expectations from the Standard Model
Measurement of the CP-violating phase \phi s in Bs->J/\psi\pi+\pi- decays
Full text linkMeasurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase phi_s in Bs decays is of prime importance in probing new physics. Here 7421 +/- 105 signal events from the dominantly CP-odd final state J/\psi pi+ pi- are selected in 1/fb of pp collision data collected at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. A time-dependent fit to the data yields a value of phi_s=-0.019^{+0.173+0.004}_{-0.174-0.003} rad, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. No evidence of direct CP violation is found
A study of CP violation in B±→DK±B±→DK± and B±→Dπ±B±→Dπ± decays with D→KS0K±π∓ final states
Full text linkA first study of CP violation in the decay modes B± → [K0S K ±π∓]Dh± and B± → [K0S K ∓π±]Dh±, where h labels a K or π meson and D labels a D0 or D0 meson, is performed. The analysis uses the LHCb data set collected in pp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1. The analysis is sensitive to the CP-violating CKM phase γ through seven observables: one charge asymmetry in each of the four modes and three ratios of the charge-integrated yields. The results are consistent with measurements of γ using other decay modes
