| Summary: | <p>Using data equivalent to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb<sup>−1</sup> collected by the LHCb experiment during Run I (2011-2012), studies of beauty mesons decaying to a final state containing open charm are performed, concluding with a number of new results.</p> <p>Direct CP-violation is explored in <i>B</i><sup>±</sup> → <i>Dh</i><sup>±</sup> decays through several measurements of CP violating observables, where the charmed meson <i>D</i> is reconstructed in both 2-track and 4-track final states. A measurement of the <i>B</i><sup>±</sup> production asymmetry at LHCb is reported using <i>B</i><sup>±</sup> → <i>D</i>π<sup>±</sup> decays, and a complementary measurement of the CP asymmetry in <i>B</i><sup>±</sup> → <i>J</i>/ψ<i>K</i><sup>±</sup> decays made. A search for the rare <i>B</i><sub>c</sub>− → <i>D</i>(*)π<sup>−</sup> and B<sub>c</sub>− → <i>D</i> (*)<i>K</i><sup>−</sup> decays concludes this work.</p> |
