Abstract

We report an updated measurement of the CP-violating phase, Φ_s^J/ᴪΦ, and the decay-width difference for the two mass eigenstates, ∆Ӷs, from the flavor-tagged decay B⁰_s → J/ᴪΦ. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 8.0 fb^-1 accumulated with the D0 detector using pp̅ collisions at √s= 1.96 TeV produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The 68% Bayesian credibility intervals, including systematic uncertainties, are ∆Ӷs = 0.163 ^{+ 0.065}_-0.064 ps^-1 and Φ_s^J/ᴪΦ= -0.55^+0.38_-0.36. The p-value for the Standard Model point is 29.8%.
