Measurement of the semileptonic charge asymmetry using $B_s^0 \to D_s \mu X$ decays
2013
We present a measurement of the time-integrated flavor-specific semileptonic charge asymmetry in the decays of B{sub s}{sup 0} mesons that have undergone flavor mixing, a{sub sl}{sup s}, using B{sub s}{sup 0} ({bar B}{sub s}{sup 0}) {yields} D{sub s}{sup {-+}} {mu}{sup {+-}} X decays, with D{sub s}{sup {-+}} {yields} {phi}{pi}{sup {-+}} and {phi} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}, using 10.4 fb{sup -1} of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the D0 detector during Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the difference between the time-integrated D{sub s}{sup -} and D{sub s}{sup +} mass distributions of the B{sub s}{sup 0} and {bar B}{sub s}{sup 0} candidates yields the flavor-specific asymmetry a{sub sl}{sup s} = [-1.08 {+-} 0.72(stat) {+-} 0.17(syst)]% which is the most precise measurement and in agreement with the standard model prediction.
