Abstract

Measurements of the Bs0B_s^0 effective lifetime in decays to CP-odd and CP-even flavour specific final states allow to probe the width difference ΔΓs\Delta \Gamma_s and the CP-violating phase ϕs\phi_s of Bs0Bˉs0B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s mixing box-diagram. Measurements of the effective lifetime in the decay channels Bs0K+KB_s^0 \rightarrow K^+ K^- and Bˉs0J/ψf0(980)\bar{B}_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi f_0(980) are presented, as well as a measurement of ΔΓs\Delta \Gamma_s and Γs\Gamma_s performed by a tagged time-dependent angular analysis of Bs0J/ψϕB_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi decays and a measurement of the sign of ΔΓs\Delta \Gamma_s, using data collected during 2011 with the LHCb detector.
