A 4th generation could be consistent with the recently measured $\Delta m_{B_s}$ as well as ${\cal B}(b\to s\ell^+\ell^-)$, which are SM-like, but generate large $\sin2\Phi_{B_s} \simeq -0.5$ to -0.7. The sign is determined by the hint for…

We show that the decay Bs -> J/psi f0(980), f0(980)->pi+ pi- can be used to measure the CP violating phase in Bs mixing, -2\beta_s, and estimate the sensitivity as +/- 0.050 rad, for 2/fb of LHCb data. After adding in the related Bs ->…
