Measurement of $CP$ violation parameters in ${B}^{0}\rightarrow{}D{K}^{*0}$ decays

Abstract

An analysis of ${B}^{0}\rightarrow{}D{K}^{*0}$ decays is presented, where $D$ represents an admixture of ${D}^{0}$ and ${\overline{D}}^{0}$ mesons reconstructed in four separate final states: ${K}^{-{}}{\pi{}}^{+}$, ${\pi{}}^{-{}}{K}^{+}$, ${K}^{+}{K}^{-{}}$ and ${\pi{}}^{+}{\pi{}}^{-{}}$. The data sample corresponds to $3.0\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{-{}1}$ of proton-proton collision, collected by the LHCb experiment. Measurements of several observables are performed, including $CP$ asymmetries. The most precise determination is presented of ${r}_{B}(D{K}^{*0})$, the magnitude of the ratio of the amplitudes of the decay ${B}^{0}\rightarrow{}D{K}^{+}{\pi{}}^{-{}}$ with a $b\rightarrow{}u$ or a $b\rightarrow{}c$ transition, in a $K\pi{}$ mass region of $\pm50 \text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$ around the ${K}^{*}(892)$ mass and for an absolute value of the cosine of the ${K}^{*0}$ helicity angle larger than 0.4.
