Zhou Xing for the LHCb Collaboration
The CP violating asymmetry asl is studied with a sample of B0s or Bs0 semi-muonic decays in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at LHCb with an integrated luminosity of 1 fb^-1. The final state studied is Ds{\mu}, with Ds reconstructed in the final state {\phi}{\pi}. The Ds{\mu} yields are summed over untagged B0s and Bs0 initial states, and integrated with respect to decay time. Data driven methods have been developed to measure all the efficiency ratios needed to determine asl from the measured raw asymmetry. We obtain asl= (-0.24+/-0.54+/-0.33)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
