Observation of CP Violation in B+/- DK+/- Decays (Hardcover, 2014 ed.)

"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 thesispresents ananalysis of the first two years of LHCb data.The authordescribes the first observation of the rare decay, "B- DK-, D -K+ "and the first observation of direct "CP" violation in this "B" decay. The workconstitutes 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."
